4:50pm HIM: Hi – hold on. I’m back, what’s up? ME: I’m a really good knitter. I stink at designing. Stink. HIM: I thought we’d already established that. (we’ve gone through this before) ME: Apparently I needed to remind myself. HIM: So your day didn’t go…
After seeing nolaboard’s Antarctis Stole I coveted one for myself. Season of Lace and Ravelry have that effect on me. I thought of winter in the Antarctic and wanted something dark and rich. Using some stash wool/silk in a nearly navy blue I cast on the Antarctis Stole this past Monday on my way into…
This morning I finally took the Echo Flower off the blocking wires. Chris was a good sport and we tromped out in the snow for some photos. Silk and wellies – that’s how we do it in the country. This is the same pattern I used for Mom’s Pink Champagne shawl but this time with…
We stayed up late last night – waiting for the doom. One big crack from a nearby tree was all we heard. Nothing like the constant bombardment of breaking limbs from previous ice storms. I’m sure it’s not over yet but I thought I’d take the time today to offer thanks. Usually when I sit…

I’ve spent the past little while on Ravelry going back over the patterns submitted by qualified entries (those that shared a link about the contest elsewhere) in the 10shawls2010 contest. It was tough. There are some stunning designs out there. If you’re wondering what lace to knit next, any of the projects suggested would make for…
Inspiration comes from many places. The January addition to the yarn line are warm and spicy colors because on these cold winter nights it’s the kitchen that draws me. In a fine lace alpaca yarn with a slight halo we have three spices to tempt you. Each is 950+ yards/90grams $28 plus $5 Priority Shipping…
Edited to Add: The contest is over! Happy New Year Everyone! A winner will be announced soon. Thanks to everyone for all the inspiration. On Ravelry there is a new group formed with the goal of knitting 10 lace shawls in 2010. Ten Shawls in twelve months. Yeah – it’s crazy. To qualify as…
I think Mom likes her shawl. Wanna see how it turned out? Chris took some photos of me modeling Petals of Pink Champagne before I took it to Mom.
Recently I won a prize over on Seasons of Lace and the goodies from Crimson Orchid arrived this week! Below are three stitch marker sets, each with it’s own ring to keep them organized when not in use. The largest ring is a Row Counter Bracelet – it’s really fun! Each of the two coils…
