we’ll get to that shortly, but first I have some catching up to show off. I finished the February Lady sweater almost two weeks ago
and it is working hard as a shop model. I used Schaefer Yarns Miss Priss, in the Georgia O’Keefe colourway. A lovely yarn, hand-dyed by lovely people. I [...]
It would be more fun to do some naval gazing, but I digress. Matt and I didn’t get the chance to head to San Diego earlier this month to participate in the semi-annual TNNA trade show (we chose to apply that money to a new shopping cart on the website for the shop as [...]
Yesterday, I became a knitter. Granted, I’ve been at it around 40 years (seriously–I learned around age 5 how to crochet and knit, both from my maternal grandmother). But today, I joined the ranks of “knitters” (as defined by a couple seminal projects). Curious? Read on…….

There was swatching last night……….of the [...]
It seems to be a regular thing–taking part of my day off to visit with y’all and share what’s up over the past few days. So here we go…hang on, it’s gonna be short and to the point!
First off, a little housekeeping, for Rowena (via the comments). The article you referenced appeared at [...]
As I’ve mentioned here and in our weekly newsletter for the shop, my paternal grandfather used to say “what you do on New Year’s Day, you do all year long”. If that’s the case, 2009 is going to be a FANTASTIC year!
