A post full of questions. And most of the answers, too.

Guess what still hasn’t been blocked?

All those ends.. taunting me.
Guess who has finally finished the never ending increases of a top down raglan, and is now in smooth sailing (and not increasing!) lace territory of her February Lady Sweater?

That would be me.
Guess who had a relaxing Fourth of July with friends I don’t see enough, [...]

Bullet-Proof Garter Stitch

What seems like miles of garter stitch is actually only six inches.

It feels like so much more than that.
This is the start of the February Lady Sweater, a loving and wonderful adaptation of EZ’s classic February Baby Sweater. It made its internet debut while I was in Massachusetts for the wedding, but I made [...]

Hello out there.

Life has been nuts.
I mean, the good nuts, not the tear out your hair nuts.
My Celebrant business is getting off the ground.  Lindsey and Ben got MARRIED.  I’m finally done with my training for my day job, which means that I won’t be traveling anytime soon (I went to Orlando twice in three weeks for [...]

So more pictures will be coming [...]

We drove two hours in the pouring rain to WEBS.  It was amazing and overwhelming.  We ran into Adrian of HelloYarn and Ravelry’s Jess (along with a group of their friends), walking out as we walked in.

We wandered the aisles, [...]

Persimmons by Li Young Lee.
In sixth grade Mrs. Walker

and made me stand in the corner
for not knowing the [...]

Hello world!

Because I just couldn't ignore the constant knitting discussion in my head.  This isn't my first go round at a knitting blog - let's see if this one sticks.  Right now, I'm doing all of the set up and cute-ify blog stuff.  A real post will follow later, as I have various projects I wish [...]
