A brand new day!

Oh my poor neglected blog. It’s hard to believe that I haven’t posted since January. I’ve been a bit pre-occupied, but I have to try to do better. It has been a busy time of knitting and designing and teaching all kinds of classes at my LYS.

So many things have changed I started this blog last year. First I lost my job, and then I moved into a much smaller space in a different part of the city. I am working towards simplifying my life. I started teaching at my LYS and realise that I’m pretty go at it.

I’ve also, finally, started selling my designs on-line. I can’t tell you how nervous I am. At first I was not sure if I really wanted to do this. Then I started selling them in my LYS and though “Why not on-line?”. I’m just testing the waters so for now I have two patterns available. Hopefully I’ll be able to add more of my designs. Since these patterns are already being sold in print, it would not be right for me to sell them for less than the sell for locally. So for those of you, not into instant gratification, I’ve provided the option to get the print version.

Here are just a few of the things I’ve been working on.



Happy Knitting

Glad to see you back! And it's exciting that you'll be selling your patterns online. I've been looking for some new "dress up the sweater wardrobe patterns," and I really like the cardigan you pictured. Is it's pattern available/will it be soon? (No big rush...I have a bit of a backlog at the moment, but I'd like to start looking for yarn, if it's going to become available.) Thanks!
