Coraline

September 25, 2009

I finally caved in and cast on for this after months of drooling. I used Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool in a deep read color, and I think that the yarn is a good all-weather choice. It’s dk weight, so it’s not insanely heavy, and the wool, silk, and nylon blend was exactly what I was [...]

Reflections on Traveling Woman

September 9, 2009

Wow. Just… wow. I released Traveling Woman for free less than a month ago, and since then, it has exploded.
Knitting Pattern Central listed it as the pattern of the week shortly after it came out.

Add another hobby to the pile…

July 7, 2009

To keep myself occupied this summer, I signed up for a sewing class at the local craft center. I used to sew when I was younger, and my mom used to make all of our clothes, but it’s been at least a decade since I’ve touched a sewing machine.
I love going to the fabric store [...]
