Howdy. This is my first attempt at providing a pattern for the knitting masses. Thank you to my test knitting ladies for their input on the pattern. I didn’t have them test knit the small or large sizes, because I hadn’t written that into the pattern at...

I built us a coffer made of cedar, to protect our woolen hearts from hungry moths. I think I’m feeling a bit poetic today. I found the following poem in a little black moleskin notebook that I forgot all about. I wrote it last June. Alone in a sea of minds,...

I’m headed for a counseling conference next week in San Diego. I’ll be there from the 14th-18th. I don’t think I know of any San Diego knitters, unfortunately, but if you’re out there, give me a shout. I’d love some knitting company or...

I Second that Emotion by Smokey Robinson For some reason that song seemed to go well with this post. “If you’ve got the notion…” or in this case, the Notions Purse from the Purl Bee blog. I made this for my friend Susan as a belated birthday...

This post is a bit late in coming, as I have been back from NY since the sixteenth of June. I was lucky enough to be in NY for ten days. I went with a friend and stayed at Hotel Marrakech on the Upper West Side. The hotel was pretty decent for the cost, though they...

Enter the Monkeys of Happiness… I thought it was about time I jumped on the Monkey socks bandwagon. I had to do it in my own fashion of course, the standard two-at-at-time-toe-up-magic-loop-with-a-heel-flap madness that I can’t seem to rid myself of when...
