Designing Cithara was part of my quest for the perfect sweater. There were elements I included in that design that I really enjoy. Specifically the zipper and the turned hems. But I've been thinking more and more about what sort of sweater I want to design and knit - for myself - that has all ...
So I'm sweater obsessed right now. And I actually went and bought myself a sweater's worth of Dream In Color Classy the other day. And as soon as I can get a picture of it where I can get the color right I will show you. I will master this photography nonsense even if it ...
All I can think about lately are sweaters. Probably because my fingers are slightly blue - it's actually been cold here in Florida lately - and I refuse to turn the heat up on principal. Last night I was sketching up and submitting sweaters, and I am quite seriously considering hitting the yarn store today ...
So I'm trying to learn to take pictures. Good pictures. Honestly what I want to be able to do is take pictures of my knitting designs, my kids, my husband, and my dog. That's about it. I don't want to start a photography business. I just want my pictures of my family to speak to ...

We had a wonderful Christmas in our new house. Christmas Eve we dressed up and headed to Mass and then over to an annual Christmas Eve party that we attend. Even though we don't have family in town, it's nice to have friends that treat you like family. This particular family has known the man ...

Are you ready? I just got home from the grocery store where I got all the fixings for a roast beef dinner and some last minute candy for stocking stuffers. I forgot one thing. But my husband is quite insane and he actually *likes* to shop on Christmas Eve. So I'll get him to pick ...
