FINISHED! Her name is Rivulet.
And like its owner, it’s got more going on in the back than the front.
The buttons are recast pewter 1943 Australian Schilling buttons with ram’s heads on them. They are available here from The Ram’s Horn, on the buttons page. Their shawl pins and such are just amazing. I bought these [...]
I don’t know quite what it was about this article that irritated me and compelled me to respond, but I think it boils down to the devaluation of materials used for what is still, more or less, considered a hobby for women. No one writes articles about the high costs of golf clubs or sports [...]
Shamelessly copying Kim’s post here (and seconding recommendations of her books if you like crocheting!) in saying that books make great holiday gifts, so why not buy mine?
You can see all my books, complete with clickable links, on this page. I suppose it’s kind of like saying you have a favorite child, but my three [...]
I am more than a little sad to find that after writing Free range, eco-friendly, fair trade knitting teachers this February, it’s time for another followup. Annie Modesitt has just posted about the new digital pattern contract information sent out by Soho (aka Vogue Knitting, knit.1, Knit Simple etc). Her title says it all: here [...]

The wife also accuses her 55-year-old husband [...]
Yay! Good press in the region’s largest newspaper! Check it out.
I organize the Cleveland branch of Bazaar Bizarre, the fantastic indie craft show you know and love. We’re getting lots of attention this year…probably because we’ve practically tripled the number of vendors. Very exciting. If you’re within a reasonable distance of Cleveland, I highly [...]
…for this bag. Please, someone grant me extra hours in the day so that I might have one immediately. (And then I’ll shibori-felt an octopus sushi one to go with…)
Thanks to Brenna for the heads up on this one!

So. Don’t hate me, NaKniSweMo’ers, but this social recluse thing has paid off. All knitted save the button band and collar! I was feeling impatient, so I put the collar stitches and bottom edge stitches on cotton waste yarn and threw the whole shebang in the washer with some Soak.
Oh yes. You heard me. The [...]
Abby explains it all, here in the new issue of Twist Collective. And trust me, she knows.
By the way, if I do not find time to knit this pattern, I will CRY. How fabulous is that? Too fabulous even for me, I think.
