I have just a short post for you this evening. I am having issues adjusting to the school schedule. Getting up in time to be showered and caffeinated before the girls need to get up is proving a bit more difficult then I remember. Oh well, I will get back into the grove in time. The other day there appeared to be a monkey convention in the living room. It was a secret convention. The girls aren’t talking. The monkeys … Read more
Just one month to go until the CGOA/TKGA Knit and Crochet show (Oct 2 ~ 6). Lorene and I are getting rather excited. We will be taking several classes, and participating in several events. My goal is to improve my skills to bring you even better patterns, and to improve this blog.  Also, to have a LOT of fun!! Lorene and I will be doing lots of schmoozing, and I will be taking many photos. I was sure to get a hotel … Read more
Hello my friends! Do you remember how far I had gotten on the Katherine Coat over the spring/summer? Well, here she is now:
That’s right, I frogged the whole coat. It had to be done. I took a couple of weeks and re~wrote the entire pattern, I did warn you I was going to do that. I am much happier now. I was not impressed with the boxy look of the coat on the first go around, and I want to provide you with the best possible patterns.
That’s me, just chugging along. I try to do one thing at a time, but sometimes that doesn’t seem feasible. Oh well, I just make the best of it and do what I can.
I received a special order for a Max hat. A couple saw them at InsaniTea, and fell in love, but didn’t see one in the size and color they wanted. So above is a picture of the cute colors they picked out for their 6~12 month Max hat.
It is finally here, the Angela knit shrug pattern! Look, I even made one for myself! This fun knit pattern goes all the way up to a generous size 4/5X. And it goes all the way down to a size XS. It is only $3.00! There are many photos in the pattern to help along the way. There is also a link to my video tutorials to help you out with the provisional cast on. As always, the pattern can … Read more
Well hello there my blogland friends! I hope you had a splendid weekend. I have some pretty snaps of the last few days to share with you! Everything looked so good at the produce store last week, I got very camera happy when I got home. I just noticed one of those plums looks a bit off in the photo. It must just be the water on it and a trick of the light, as they were all very great! … Read more
I am trying to get my next pattern released by the end of the month. It’s the Angela Shrug! I am making one (or maybe two) for myself, so I can take some new photos for the pattern. I wasn’t happy with the photos I had in the pattern I gave to my testers. I made two swatches to show how the lace works up in different yarns. This first one is in Lion Brand LB 1878. It seems that … Read more
Just a quick post tonight. I know there is a running theme through this blog of me trying to find my way in my creative endeavors. I am always trying to balance what makes me happy, and what makes money. It is appropriate that on Star Wars Day, I have come up with an answer that makes me happy. I just followed MY force. I keep putting what really makes me happy to the side and attempting other things in … Read more
I know, I have neglected my blog and my lovely readers over the past few weeks. I am sorry. First Doug was on break, and we spent the days working around the house (I did at least share a bit of that with you.) Doug still had to go to his second job, but it was nice to have him around during the school day. Then there was a week with no one on break, and me working feverishly to … Read more
