Today I do something new! As tech-savvy as I like to think I am, I’m basically an out-of-the-loop gal. Blog Tours are something that I had missed (and something I probably should do for one of my new books…) but they’re a wonderful way to share an interview or information about a book or technique…
Another In The Series of Combo Videos
… with running commentary by – guess who? I’m still just playing around with these to figure out how best to present them A little explaination on the video: This is exactly how I knit – I didn’t change things for photography. I don’t wrap the yarn around my fingers for tension, cat-cradle like, because…
I felt like making a mitered bag…
The pun is too easy. UPDATE: I will definitely offer this pattern, probably free or very cheap (with proceeds going to a charity – maybe Heiffer.org?) after I get it together for the Tulsa class. I’ll base the jacket pattern on the same motif as the bag. Here’s the bag that I worked up in…

Obviously Not My Week
It amazes me that folks expect perfection from other people. And if you happen to end up in the public eye in any way, they expect fries along with the perfection. I thought I’d take a few days off from the blogging – mental health days (thanks for the nice comments, by the way) I…
No One's Happy
I just got an email that stunned me, so I wanted to clear something up on my blog, in the open, because I know how easy it is to take a comment and run with it. A few days ago in my blog I made what I thought was an innocent comment, “The first class…

Proof That He's Not Faking
The one true way to prove that a child isn’t faking an illness is if they get sick on Halloween. Maxie called from school today, he was achey, his throat hurt and he had a fever. I got there just in time for the Halloween parade through the hallways, Maxie was 5 shades of pale,…
No Rest For The Weary (Traveler)
My flight was delayed – there were high winds in NYC and that held up a bunch of planes into Newark. I actually got very lucky – I arrived at the airport early and got myself switched to an earlier flight. When I arrived at the gate ALL flights had been delayed at least a…
Strangers on Wednesday, Friends on Saturday
One of the best parts of what I do for a living is making friends. I feel so lucky that I fly into a town, check into a hotel, show up at a yarn shop and at the end of the class I’ve made a batch of friends. And it’s not because I’m so fabulous…
