Packing my bags

By On August 23, 2007 · 4 Comments

I wish I could tell you I’m packing my bags for Los Angeles (for the Tontine final casting…are you sick of hearing about that yet?) but I’m actually packing for Arizona.  We are off for some fun and relaxation in the sun.  I’m trying to get things together today and I’m [...]

Sunday quickie

By On August 19, 2007 · 3 Comments

Mystery Stole 3 is off the needles! If for some bizarre reason you have no clue what MS3 is (although I can’t imagine who that would be), a quick run down.  Melanie designs a beautiful (secret and sight unseen) stole and then proceeds to dole out clues (aka instructions) over several weeks.  Other than knowing it’s [...]

Tontine Love

By On August 17, 2007 · 3 Comments

Huge thanks to Jen and Marin for hopping right on the bandwagon to get the word out about my Tontine audition! Between them and my buds at KH I was getting tons of views, comments and positive ratings at youtube despite my dismal video. Unfortunately, I don’t think all the knitters in [...]

Socks and an important plea

By On August 15, 2007 · 3 Comments

It’s quite appropriate that I show you my completed socks with this post (I started them in the car to St. Louis…explanation below).  60 stitches on US 1 needles, magic cast on, toe up, boring stockinette with k2 p2 rib in Online Supersocke #100.  I’m not even bothering to count for my so [...]

Stash Reduction

I’m having a summer sale in the store (it only lasts until Sunday…go check it out) so I thought it might be a good time to reduce my personal stash as well.  Some of this stuff I didn’t even know I had!  I have the pictures up so you can start looking.  Please spread the word!  [...]

Baby Blanket Update

By On August 7, 2007 · 1 Comment

Hi All,

 I promised a periodic update. Yesterday I finished the first full diamond pattern. Only 5 more to go! At this rate I might be finished before the baby is born… well hopefully! I didn’t have any problems after the life line. Everything [...]

Summer Tank Pattern

By On August 7, 2007 · 3 Comments

I wrote this pattern quite a while ago but was never quite sure what to do with it.  I meant to revisit it at some point…possibly consolidate the options to make it a little more user friendly and use a smaller gauge yarn.  Since it doesn’t [...]

Wing it?

By On August 4, 2007 · Leave a Comment

 The theme for MS3 was revealed yesterday and the inspiration for the design is Swan Lake.  Part of the design is a wing at the end which makes it asymmetrical.  I love that idea but the designer did make it an option to repeat the beginning of the pattern for those who would prefer [...]

Wrapped up

By On August 1, 2007 · 5 Comments

I don’t know if this has any bearing at all on my chances of being chosen,  but I made the wrap up video!  Check it out if you’d like to see part of what I said at the casting call.  St. Louis had the biggest crowd yet.  I can hardly wait to find out if [...]
