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 ...
First off, the make your own e-book special is still running. Until the end of this weekend, you can choose any 6 PicnicKnits patterns, use the coupon code "ebook" and get them all for only $20. That's $16 off the regular individual price. So go! Make yourself an e-book. But now that I ...
Today I'm trying something new. A different kind of promotion. One that I think is a nice discount/reward for all my awesome customers, and also allows me to do a sneaky bit of market research. I have two nice e-books with shawlettes. And I'm seriously considering another one. But I'm curious to what sort of ...
That's what I've been all week. I started fighting off a cold since last Friday - I could feel it coming, but I refused to acknowledge I was sick. I probably should have gone directly to bed and tried to sleep until it went away. But I'm not that smart. By the time it hit me ...

So I tried to finish the Christmas shopping yesterday. It did not go well. I even went to the mall. Honestly I think the last time I went to the mall was like in June. I never go to the mall. But it wasn't really that bad. We had a specific goal and we found ...
I slept so late today that I'm combining the specials for the fourth and third day with a few firsts. Last night I made my first batch of sugar cookies where I piped outlines and used flood icing. I used the techniques and recipes from Bake At 350. (Thanks Sharon for the linky-loo!) My ...
When it comes to Christmas music I am a sucker for all things Muppets. Especially the John Denver Muppet Christmas album. And I say album because we totally had it on vinyl. Yep, I am an old woman. A fact I am feeling quite acutely after getting my toes tangled in ...
