I just, a few minutes ago, sent out a newsletter to my mailing list in which I announced the completion of the Basket Weave pullover for men. I erroneously stated there were no photos available. I lied. Another brain cramp. I took pictures last Tuesday and forgot I had them. OY!!!! Without further ado….
What [...]

It’s official. I’ve lost my mind. I just spent the past two days working on the fingering weight ruana using the WRONG FREAKIN’ HOOK!!! I put the ruana down a few weeks ago to finish the two basket weave projects but started up again on Saturday, realizing my June 15 deadline. I thought I left [...]

Ok. So, I’m not the most flexible person walking the earth. I am “of an age” when I have become set in my ways. I’m not stubborn or closed-minded; I can be persuaded to change my mind given sufficient evidence. But, by and large, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”
Such has been my attitude [...]

I FINALLY finished the basket weave pullover yesterday. Now, I have to size the pattern. Luckily the back and sleeves are identical to the hoodie, so I won’t have to re-invent the wheel. I love designing but, by golly, I HATE pattern writing. No matter how careful I am, not matter how many times I [...]

I’ve got a secret. SHHH! Don’t tell anyone, but I purchased my first set of knitting needles this afternoon. Ooh, I feel so naughty, like a little boy going to the library to sneak a peak at the National Geographic magazines (Don’t give me that look! If you are male and of a certain [...]

Despite the whirlwind of craziness in my life lately, I have managed to finish the scarf design for Crochet! Magazine. Actually, I finished it 1 2/3 times. You see, when I originally began this project, I really, really knew that I wouldn’t have enough yarn to complete the scarf. Yet, being the willful little bastard [...]

I promised myself….I REALLY did…that I was going to let the recent unpleasantness go, that I simply was going to move on and let it all go. Right. I received the following this evening. It is typical of the kind of garbage I have been seeing for the past three days. I am now, more [...]

If you are easily offended by the rants of an irate hooker, close the page NOW!!!
I have grown weary of folks who are not only resistant to but, also, simply refuse to pay for patterns. Mind you: these are often the same people who think nothing of downing truckloads of fast food or forking [...]

Finally, finally, finally. I have lost what little hair I had left on my head over this pattern. I’ve decided that, rather than trudge on to the men’s version, I will, instead, work on a men’s basket weave pullover, thinking that there well may be a bigger market for that. I’ll come back to the [...]

I received a warm and humbling message from a fellow Ravelry-ite this morning. Charles is a knitter, but erstwhile crocheter, who gave up hooking when it became apparent to him that doilies just were not his “thing” and nothing else crocheted seemed appealing. Since hearing my February 22 interview with Marly, and seeing my [...]
