Cable Needle Rings?

Sterling Cable Needle Rings

 OK, NOT for wear for cocktail parties.  You probably just want to save them to wear while knitting socks or other small projects. These adjustable ring/tools are about a needle size 2.
 As I am still mulling over the final design they are not on my website yet.

Makin' the Fiber Scene at Slater Mill

Tomorrow I get to spend the day at Slater Mill where they host the kind of fiber events that can only be enjoyed at an historic textile mill. This photo, from a similar knitting event there shows my friend and fellow teacher, RoseAnn Hunter, teaching a rugs from fabric workshop. I will be showing my work and teaching mini one-on-one shawl pin workshops, my favorite MO.

Wow, Did You See The Knits On That Girl

   I have always loved Broadway shows. I am also a huge fan of the TV show Glee. So when I heard about the upcoming new TV show, "Smash", I was determined to watch it and positive I would love it. Just like Indian food on Cape Ann, there is so little of it around that I enjoy with gusto even mediocre fare. But what I did not expect was the knitting fashions which  were special in their design and color choice. Within the first few minutes of the show(easily watched online),  Debra Messing's character,  Julia Houston wears a fabulous froth of a scarf that makes me wonder if she will ignite a whole new flurry of knitters. So Monday night at 10.00 on NBC tune in to see the knits and hear the music. After only one episode it is too early to judge the plot.
