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 ...
It's actually a beautiful marble statue, but when I saw the name, I couldn't resist naming my new shawlette Esquiline. The yarn is the Venus colorway of Celestial Twist by the Knit Witch. You can see the convoluted road that took me there, right? Naming patterns is so hard to do.
We had entirely too much fun! Did I meet you there? Make sure to friend me on Ravelry or Twitter or leave a comment. I'm picnicknits pretty much everywhere. I did not take enough pictures however.

It's been a very long time since I've participated in a swap. But I signed up for two swaps already this year. The first was a little motivation swap in the Weight Watchers group on Ravelry. Four weeks - four cards or little somethings to keep us going on our New Year's diets. So far ...
I know, I know, I've been missing in action. Today I'm spending Valentine's Day with my one of my three favorite people in the entire world - my youngest son. But sadly, it's because he's sick. So for today we will have a little 50% off sale on pattern with hearts... The Pink ...
Because everyone (else) seems to be freezing... because it's Friday and because I've had a yucky week and I want to make someone smile.... Today we will have a Friday Freebie. The Cordelle pattern is free today. Go and get it. And don't say I never gave you nothing!
