Quick Update

This is going to be a quick one. I admire all of those people who blog regularly. I’m trying very hard to blog and least once a week but it is really hard. There just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day for all the things I want to do.

Thank you, everyone who commented, for your well wishes. It was very hard for me to decide to start selling my patterns but so far it has been a very positive experience.

Carla asked if Merilyn’s Stole will be published and the answer is “Yes”. I’m working on it but it will take some time. Egunn wanted to know about the lace cardigan. I’m working on that one also. I’m hoping to have these patterns available soon.

I just couldn’t do a post without a few pictures so here are some of the other things I’ve been up to.

Woven FOs: I'm still having problems in inconsistent tapping but thanks to a wonderful weaver at my guild the problem might be solved. I'll see with the next project.


Socks from yarn dyed by a local hand dyer. I'm planning on re-knitting the top two inches to tighten up the ribbing.


Two new designs. I wanted to make sure that the patterns worked with hand painted yarns so I tested them out on the most difficult yarns in my stash. Both are Hand Maiden's cashmere/silk 2ply in Sangria and Woodland.


Happy knitting.

Your socks and swatches are lovely, dear. I especially like that raspberry number--what will it be?
