Merry Chistmas
Depending on your cultural and/or religious background, today may or may not be a celebrated holiday. However, for Kellie and I, as life-long, practicing (in that we are always striving to improve) Christians – today has much meaning an importance. Today’s post will be short, a little bit silly, but hopefully fun for all! Sung […]
Knitting For Fun or Profit
Well over 10 years ago, knitting became my profession instead of my hobby. For many folks this can “ruin” their love of the craft, but luckily it has not been the case for me. However, it has changed how I think about my knitting. As a professional knitter, each project has to be considered with […]
Inspiration: The People We Meet
Today I am here, playing with friends. So what does this have to do with knitting you might ask. Well, actually quite a lot. You see it is a bit like the parlor game for movie buffs, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. It starts with me, much younger, learning the basics of knitting and skiing […]
WIP: The Most Fun I Have Had….
So today I concluded the majority of my part of my current WIP, my new video class for Craftsy, Entrelac Knitting. Although I have lots of fun almost all the time, this experience was the best!!! So this evening a few of the folks from Craftsy that are working hard to make me look good […]

Favorite Cake topper — that will be Arlis and I one day. It was a bit depressing […]
Mathematical Monday: Dodecahedron
Not too long ago, Diane Bloomer published her first pattern. She did it as a type of “what if” experiment. She named it “DoHicky“. In fact, it is a dodecahedron (a 12-sided, 3-dimensional shape, consisting of regular – equal sided – pentagons). As most of you know, I rarely knit from other people’s patterns because […]
Mathematical Monday: The Power of Two
The number two has been very prevalent in my knitting world of late. Tonight I am putting together pairs of colors to be sent to fellow teachers to be made into entrelac slippers for the Stitches Midwest PJ Party. I have also just finished a sweater worked in a double strand of yarn. I need […]
Fine Finishing – It Is Like Falling Off a Log
So I should have made this post yesterday, but I left my camera back at the cabin when I came down to the Visitor’s center to get online. We are still in the throws of finishing up the book, so I have needed to check in as often as I can although we are up […]
