First up, a progress report. I’m actually making some progress on the Princess Line sweater, and it’s going pretty well. However, you really do need to pay attention to the pattern while you’re working on it. Which is fine, but the practical reality of it made me kind of rethink my action plan. In the… Continue reading Recalculating…recalculating
When I last posted, I was in rural Alaska without my knitting. It occurs to me now that I did not mention that I was heading out to rural AK, so readers of the previous post may have been thinking – “So what?

OMG – so much to do! So I have this grand plan for 2017, which I shared in an earlier post. But then things keep coming up. Partly because I am easily distracted, and partly because certain types of peer pressure actually work on me. Also because I am excellent at creating nonsensical justifications for… Continue reading In Over My Head
I have a lot of books to talk about in relation to my 2017 Year of Colorwork project,so it was tough deciding which to do first. For example, I’m very excited about Joy of Color by Janine Bajus.
