Attitude is Everything
Recently I have been reminded that a person’s attitude has more bearing on what goes on in their world than practically any other factor. If you believe you are going to fail, you probably will. If you assume others are trying to make you miserable, you will probably be miserable. On the other hand, if […]
Lots of Knitting During Down Time
A few weeks ago I wrote about not getting too stressed with holiday knitting. And you may think I haven’t been following my own advice. But I have gotten a lot of knitting done in the past month or so.
What I’m Up To on a Monday:
Today’s To Do List: Finish proofing two photo shoots, one of which is a new professional portrait for a fellow knitting teacher! I’ll let her surprise you with her new image, but will say she was an absolute delight to photograph. Finish content for EduKnit. On Friday, our expert interview for our month of Cast […]
WIP: Mid-travels
Deciding what to work on as my airplane knitting when I travel somehow is often a challenge for me. I am not quite sure why, but it has definitely been the case the past several trips. Unfortunately for this trip what I have been mostly working on is getting better. Luckily, I have made some […]
Turning a WIP into a FO
I don’t think I have shown this to you, but this has been my primary WIP (surprise — it is entrelac)! But today my WIP became a FO. My plan (hope) was to wear it this weekend at Stitches South. And much to my own surprise, I will be able to do that without having […]
Anticipation of the Journey
If you have followed the blog at all over the past few months you know Kellie and I have been going through a lot of changes. Each one has been filled with excitement, hope and anticipation. Each step along the way, we could see some of the path before us, but there was (and still […]
New Year, New Look, New Name
Congratulations on finding us: Two Sides of the Same Stitch has a new home! We have been working on aspects of this for many months now. One of our initial efforts was getting a logo professionally designed. We utilized CrowdSpring, a crowd-source graphic design service. The above design was a late entry, but when it […]
WIP: Something Different
We have all heard stories of someone’s work being copied and that is never appropriate. But sometimes, great minds (and knitters) think alike! Such a thing recently happened to me. A few weeks ago I laid out lots of projects to start. I got the project/pattern for knitting for Halos of Hope completed and sent off. […]
A Matter of Scale
This is the difference between 3.5 stitches to the inch and 9 stitches to the inch: Sturdy Bartlettyarns (doubled, even) vs. one strand of impossibly delicate Habu cotton. One gives quick results, with the path to the finished object always clear, the progress noticeable. The other grows almost imperceptibly in my fingers, and always the challenge […]
In Which My Two Skills Converge
To celebrate the colors of fall and give you a taste of what I’ve been up to, here is a favorite shot from today’s photo session. I hired a lovely young woman in my church congregation to model for me, and she did a fantastic job. She had fun with knitted purses, which not everyone […]
