My to do lists are getting really daunting. Add to all the normal crazy that we are looking for a house to buy and it just makes everything a super special kind of crazy. So very crazy. Today's list included all manner of odd things. Fortunately a few things have come to completion, so I can ...
Somedays being a knitting designer is really a knitter's dream. In the past couple of weeks I've gotten all these incredible yarns in the mail for this new project. Beautiful hand-dyed yarns that I get to play with and decide what they want to be. Last night I spent the evening with my best knitting ...
So I had this idea for a new e-book - Seven Songs. Seven beautiful shawlettes constructed in interesting ways, with beautiful lace and texture details, each worked up in a different gorgeous hand-dyed yarn. But I wasn't sure if the idea would work. Could I get yarn support for such an idea? Well apparently I ...
I'm kind of tired of blue. The last few assignments and special requests I have had have all been blue. Not that there is anything wrong with blue. But I'm just tired of blue yarn running through my fingers. I'm tired of seeing blue. The other day I was shopping for shirts and all I ...

So the plans of the other day fell by the wayside. I spotted this gorgeous KnitWitch yarn in my stash and I realized that it needed to be the shawlette for Stitches South. Partly because I bought it last year at Stitches South, ...
This weekend I visited this fabulous consignment shop - My Best Friend's Closet in the San Marco area of Jacksonville. I found myself a cute top, and a super pretty dress for Easter vigil with a nice little matching shrug. I wore the shirt today and got a ton of compliments on it. And while ...
There is something powerful in a blank page. In a book that hasn't been written yet. In the potential of an open page that begs to be written upon, that wants to know your secrets, your plans, your crazy half-baked ideas. In a ...
I had intended to put up a Friday Freebie this morning, but everyone in my house is home today. The man, the 2 boys, the dog - everyone. I've had a sick boy home all week so I've basically gotten nothing done all week long. We went to the movies to see the Green Hornet ...
