That seems like such an obvious statement, doesn’t it? I certainly wouldn’t have expected to devote so much thought to the issue. I’ve mentioned before that I actually do write down how I make certain projects. I’m even in the habit of making new versions, so I can clarify the instructions in my [...]

The Daisy Wheel and I are friends once more and things are coming along pretty well.
I’m still working on the details and embellishments, but the basic construction is finally together. The yarn limitations have been a challenge; especially since I started in garter stitch which is notoriously hoggish, but I think I found some [...]

I’m still playing with swatches, the most recent focusing on effects with double-knitting. I decided to throw in a möbius (moebius -whatever) twist for fun. The first scarf I ever knit was a möbius from the pattern at Planet Shoup. At the time I got the math concept of the moebius far better [...]
On March 16th I breathed a sigh of relief and accomplishment. Then I slept for most of the day. Out of the laundry list of things I have to do, both that I want to and that I must, I accomplished one of the most unlikely. I achieved one of my New Year’s Resolutions. [...]
