I’ve also made the Snake in the Woods charts available as a free download on my Ravelry store, and I’ve been working on updating my patterns on Ravelry with the appropriate photos, etc. Nevermind all the new stuff that’s coming soon!
Big, big thanks to Ravelry editor Braizyn, aka Judy, who’s volunteered her time to help [...]

Coming soon, it’s Shannon’s Studio Notes, a new blog from Stitch Cleveland co-owner Shannon Okey! Consisting of both syndicated content from her other sites (including knitgrrl.com) and new content just for Stitch Cleveland fans, you’ll find all kinds of interesting stuff here in her virtual studio.

Hiya. Just got back from TNNA last night and oh, was it a fun time. It’s always fun, but this time was somehow…umm… “funner”? Yes. Funner. That’s exactly the right word.
I will post all about it soon, I promise (there’s much to show and tell), but meanwhile, I have more or less lost my voice [...]
