Ugh. Well, as you can see, I have not kept up with NaBloPoMo…I was doing so well. Once I skipped a day, I knew I was doomed. Ah well. Part of me is sad that I couldn’t keep this commitment, … Continue reading
Winners!
Today I drew winners for the Jane Austen Knits giveaway! Two lucky winners each get a copy of this awesome magazine. I drew random numbers from the comments and the winners are… Mar and Tandy! If you are Mar or … Continue reading
Tools of the Trade
Currently I am working on six designs, four of which have hard deadlines. How do I keep all these things straight? How do I do what I do? Good software! I’m a nerd at heart, and if I can use technology … Continue reading
I Feel Old and Broken
Tonight’s post is just going to be quickie. I went to the gym for the first time in weeks (yay me!)…and now I just feel old and broken (wah). I need to cuddle up with my heating pad, my kindle, … Continue reading
A Jane Austen Knits Giveaway!
As you know, Jane Austen Knits hit the newsstands and local yarn shops earlier this month. It has taken the knitting world by storm…going back to press after only a few days because it sold out almost immediately! I have … Continue reading

Tonight I told my bff Jeri that, “I think I will take all of 2013 and just knit for myself.” She replied, “2013? What about 2012?” To which I said, “Oh no, I have too much already lined up for … Continue reading
New Balls
Just a quick post today. I wanted to show you my new balls…of yarn. *snicker snicker* I’m working on a new project with the silky, smooshy, and always beautiful Madelinetosh DK.
Fitness
If you know me in real life, you know that I have been on a 6 month quest to get back into shape. I used to be a ballet dancer, and I knew that body was in me somewhere…I just … Continue reading
Another Design Series?
Hmm, I was thinking back to when I did the Design Series which resulted in the Nancy & Judy shawl. It was super fun and I ended up learning a lot about myself and about the way that I design. … Continue reading
When I have time…
…I would like to knit the following other people’s patterns for myself: B-Side Cardigan by Laura Chau – I’ve loved this cardigan since it came out. It has just enough interest without being overly busy. Ultimately very wearable. Austin Hoodie … Continue reading

For me reading is very much like knitting. I cannot just read one book…ever. I’m always reading 2 or 3 or sometimes more books at a time! Maybe I have adult ADD or something? There is something satisfying about returning … Continue reading
Holiday Gifts
I don’t know about you, but holiday gift giving has gotten harder and harder. It seems like everyone just gets whatever they want whenever they want it, or they just don’t need anything. I know I am also hard to … Continue reading
Comforts
I cannot deny it anymore, I’m sick. Laying on the couch, I started thinking about the things I turn to to help me feel better. Comfort food, rice, eggs, broth. Entertainment, a good book, movie, music. As a kid I … Continue reading

In my last post I mentioned designing. I’m always designing something for magazines, yarn companies, or my own self-published designs. I cannot share any of the designs in the first two categories until publication, but I can give you a … Continue reading
In which we did not blow up
In addition to my normal activities of late (designing, designing, and designing) I have also been dealing with an interesting problem at home. A couple of days ago DH and I noticed a bad smell coming from the couch. When … Continue reading
NaBloPoMo
Like I need something else to do, right? I really wanted to participate in NaNoWriMo this year, but I really just don’t see myself pumping out 50k words of a novel. I tried last year and stalled out just shy … Continue reading
