Mosaic made by rchrispy.
The Sexy Knitters Club is voting on their designer KAL. And I’m a final contestant! The KAL will run from July 1 through September 30 and during that period, knitters can choose any of the chosen designer’s designs to knit. I’ve never thought of my designs as sexy, but [...]
Day in NYC
On Saturday, I spent a day in NYC with Ysolda and we did typically geeky things that knitters and in particular, knit designers, tend to do when we get together.

New summer/spring design
Previews for the spring/summer 09 Knit.1 issue are out and my tie back top appears on the Knit.1 website:
The yarn is Zitron Samoa, a DK/light worsted mercerized cotton in a yummy tangerine shade (and new to me yarn). The top is a dolman-type, cap sleeve shell in spider stitch (a nice, but easy combination [...]
Fun Knitting!
A couple of weeks ago, the Spiders made the trek out to Marie’s Bay Ridge apartment for an afternoon of eating, knitting, and hoola hooping (in Marie’s spacious craft/yarn room).

Spring Interweave – Soap Bubble Wrap
The Spring Interweave preview is up and I have two designs in it.
My Soap Bubble Wrap is currently
I kind of feel like I want to take up kung fu again when I wear this. Perhaps some day, I’ll reknit this in the sportweight gauge. I think it would make a really lightweight [...]
