On Failures
I’ve been writing a lot about success, but what about failure? There are two types of failure in the knitwear design field. First, the cold hard rejection of a failed submission. Second, the soul-sucking feeling of being a failure. It’s … Continue reading
Focus on Success
I consider myself both successful and happy. Some people struggle with both of these things. They complain about their life, their job, their general “situation”; but they do nothing to change. Let me tell you about my success and the … Continue reading
Busy Bee
I’m incredibly busy. To keep from going insane, I’m writing a blog post. Makes sense, right? No? Maybe I’ve already gone insane! To keep everything going I rely on lists. Lists everywhere. Lists on my keyboard, lists on my computer, … Continue reading
Unwelcome Home
I apologize in advance. This is a sad, whiney, and pointless post. My mom has been very sick which means trips home to visit. I love living close enough to visit, but far enough away not to have to visit often. Trips to … Continue reading

Surgery
I’ve gone back and forth about posting this…but I do want to start sharing more about myself and my life here on my blog. So, here goes… In February I’m having surgery. More specifically, I’m getting a hysterectomy. I have … Continue reading
Focus
One of this year’s words for me will be Focus. What does this mean? Well, as a counter example, after typing “What does this mean?” I went off and put dinner in the oven, read about browers, and bought yarn. … Continue reading
Holiday Cheer
The holiday is now over, and I survived! From my last post, I challenged you to send me some holiday cheer. Two people did, and their stories are great Thank you so much! Your words really did help me. Let … Continue reading
Holiday Blues & A Challenge
Blah. Yes, that’s how I feel. I always seem to get the holiday blues. Perhaps it’s the lack of sunlight or the over emphasis on material goods. But for whatever reason for me, the holidays always lack that special cheer … Continue reading
Busy Changes
Wow. I’ve been busy. There’s no other way to describe it. Busy. Mostly, the busy has been business stuff. You may notice, or you may not (especially if you read this via feed reader), that I have a new look … Continue reading
Welcome to 2012
Another year… At the start of every new year I like to think back on the year closing. 2011 was a big year for me. Here are some professional highlights: I finished the Crafty Detour CSI: Most Wanted collection of … Continue reading
A Dahlia of My Own
Wow – Who would have thought that Dahlia would have become so popular? I love it of course, but I love all my designs…what made it so special? As of today there are Dahlia projects on Ravelry. Many KAL’s have … Continue reading
A Tribute
You may or may not know that I have recently started working for The Alpaca Yarn Company. The story is bittersweet. Good for me because, hello, AWESOME job. Bad because this job is only open because the previous employee has … Continue reading

I’m a Weird Knitter
By now you all know that I’m odd in some of my knitting pet peeves. For example, my aversion to the word cowl to describe accessories that are not actually cowls. Anyway, I thought I would share some other weird … Continue reading
Holiday Blues
Yes, I have the holiday blues. Seems like every year is the same. I’m not sure why this happens. I have a great family, great friends, and a wonderful husband. But without fail, every year during the holidays I get … Continue reading
