Max’s singing of the blessings, his chanting, his whole demeanor was so poised and full of grace. He absolutely glowed with happiness. Max made us all very proud – himself included.

I knit weird and I enjoy showing others how to find the joy and intuitiveness within their OWN knitting!
We don't knit to make THINGS, we knit to make OURSELVES HAPPY!
Vogue Knitting Live
So please, have a GREAT time at VK – I seriously mean it! Have great classes, sell LOTS of yarn, and most of all just enjoy the whole knitting culture. But take a few moments while you’re there to think about the compensation that the folks who’ve designed all those pretty sweaters receive. And if you’re so inclined, share your thoughts with the VK Powers that be.
Holy Knitting!
Max has written his dvar Torah – the speech he’ll give about a section of his portion that resonates with him. Family and friends are flying in from out of town, a band has been hired, food is being prepared. But I wanted to do something more personal to show Max how proud I am of him. So I knit him a tallit.
Missing TNNA
Imperial Ranch Poncho 3 Originally uploaded by modeknit I’m not at TNNA (The National Needlework Association semi-annual convention), but I have a few designs there on display.

I pretend that I use Tetris as a jumping off point for designs. But I’m just kidding myself.
Here Comes The Sun
I’m feeling the lack of sun more this year than any other year. I’ve heard that as folks grow older the whole missing-the-sun thing can become more intense (hence the move of so many folks to ‘sun valley’) in retirement.
Thank You & a Book Review
For folks (like myself) who like to knit with multi-colored yarns, The Knitter’s Guide to Hand-Dyed and Variegated Yarn is incredibly helpful! This is a very good book to have on the knitting bookshelf, and one that I can see myself returning to again and again for reference.
A Holiday Whine – Fa la wa wa wa
I’ve not been blogging as I should because I know that I’d just sound like a high pitched whine – Wa, wa, wa – and we all know that THAT’S no fun. Well, it’s fun for me, but not for you. Wa, wa, wa.
Baby Blueprint Crochet
I’ve been quiet for more than a week, my reason is not-great health and maybe a touch of laziness. And, ironically, being very busy with submissions and figuring out patterns for a few upcoming designs. I’d write in detail about the designs, but they’re for various publications that frown on my disclosing salient details before…
