Blog EntriesTen Years
Posted on | October 28, 2009 | 16 Comments
Ten years ago, Maurizio and I started dating while we were first years in grad school at Cornell. Although I was instantly interested in him when I met him in September, it took a few more weeks before he could convince me that he was interested in me.
To celebrate the occasion, Maurizio took Monday off and we spent an extended weekend in Ithaca.
Visits to Ithaca always include a visit to my favorite yarn shop, Knitting Etc. And although I’m no longer local, it will always be my LYS. While I was there, I got some yummy (and new to me) Prism Merino Mia yarn for a baby sweater for a friend that’s due in a few months and a gorgeous card made by Hickory’s sister (they’re an artistic family!):
Hickory and I talked about knitting, designing, and life. I got a kick out of seeing a sample of my Varese Hoodie (made by Suzeann). This photo of Hickory and my sweater was taken a few visits ago:
I met up with Laura and we chatted about the state of the knit design industry, our current projects, and dreams of future projects while chowing down on her delicious pumpkin and ginger bread and coffee. She showed me her studio space which occupies an entire room; and yet somehow manages to stay neat.
Maurizio and I even snuck in a mini-photo shoot of my newest indie design – the Cayuga hat and mittens – with Cayuga Lake at Stewart Park in the background. I hope to have the patterns out in the next couple of weeks.

Congratulations! I met my sweetie in grad school, too. We knew instantly, although it took us several years to tie the knot. You two look so cute together!
I’m a real fan of your designs – although I have a problem committing to a full sweater, I have most of your in my queue!

Hello,
I am a friend of Maurizio from the days when we were both undergrad students in physics in London. We lost touch of each other many years ago. I’m living in LA now. Like to hear more about how you guys are doing.
Ciao ciao.
Raff.
