Stitches West here I Come


This coming week I head to CA for the biggest Stitches yet. This is thanks to Intwined Pattern Studio. As a company that sells knitting software they don't need tons of room to show off their product. All I need is a card table, a chair or two plus my tools and shawl pins, of course. This is a long way to go so I am "bare bonesing" the display. And forgoing my clothing fantasy. At Stitches East I met Gryphon. If you knit her site is a treasure chest. I saw her first at the hotel coffee shop. As you can see from the photo her outfits were inspiring. I wish she gave a workshop in Wardrobe Organization and Style.

Greeting Card from a Man Who Knows Women Who Knit


Illustrated by Teresa Burns Parkhurst for oatmeal studios
shows a point of view I wish I had come to earlier in my life. Although there are no scars on anyone, I would have a lot of sweaters, scarves and hats
to show at this point.

Shawlette by Darcy Knotty Knitter, Slide by Me


I have Darcy to thank for the motivation for this new idea. She made me this mini shawl of the most scrumptious yarn. The size didn't need much to keep it in place so I thought up this slide. I am making many versions to take to Stitches West. Nothing like having thousands of knitters pass by your booth and offer their honest opinion to know if you are on to something....or not.
