Knowing When It Is Right

This past Friday, I had the distinct pleasure of visiting the Trendsetter warehouse during a brief weekend visit to the LA area. I know I should have snapped a picture or two, but we were a bit pressed for time, I am never good about remembering, and we, too, can still get caught up with the […]

Dreams In Color

If ever I was excited about some upcoming work, it’s about October at Eduknit!  I know it was 100 degrees in Washington D.C. yesterday, and that the humidity was 85% at one point in the day; but no matter. As a knitter, I can escape all that and dream of Autumn.

Fearless Fudging

As you know, Gwen comes to Maryland about once a quarter to make videos of knitting techniques. Every time she comes, we get better and better at our skills in making videos, but perhaps more importantly, we’ve become nearly fearless about improvising, trying again and just making it work.

3 Different Cast-ons in 1 Project

It is finally finished! A project I have knit at least twice and with all the “rip out, recalculate, re-knits” probably more like three or four times. It doesn’t look like much on the display form that is about 4 sizes smaller than me, but this continues to the be challenge of working alone, at […]
