My Estes Vest (aka “Vestes) is coming along nicely. Actually, I have more done, up to the first increase after the waist. As with all cable projects (and lace), the first couple of times through the pattern repeats have me cursing and unpicking and wondering what the h*ll the designer was thinking. Then, once I… Continue reading “Vestes” Chugging Along

Me ‘n’ The Yarn Harlot in Philly!
So I finally got to see Stephanie Pearl-McPhee! You have to understand I’ve been reading this woman’s blog for over two years and have been trying to get to see her for almost as long. Each time she has come to the area it has been a more-than-an-hour’s drive away and something has come up… Continue reading Me ‘n’ The Yarn Harlot in Philly!
I’m A Designer!
Hey! I got myself set up at Ravelry as a designer. So far I’ve only uploaded my Cyber Chart (the chart for my cyberman head, that graces G’s sweater), but I have a sock pattern and another, fairisley Doctor Who chart to go up, oh and a hat pattern. I smell another project coming on… Continue reading I’m A Designer!
Miriam’s Heart
My sister sent me a link to a pattern she is using to make a knitted heart and hoping to teach her four year old daughter. She was struggling with some of the instructions so I, being me, thought “I could do better than that” so here’s my effort, which I think will be less… Continue reading Miriam’s Heart

I have been so envious. I even talked to him of… Continue reading Ravelry — I’m In!
Writer’s Inspiration I
I’m trying to squeeze in more writing time these days (not, as previously mentioned, for projects that someone is threatening to pay for imminently, but just for my own satisfaction). In spite of the fact that I really want to write, I find myself needing a jumpstart, so I’m reading about writing a little more… Continue reading Writer’s Inspiration I

Stitch Markers: “Red Wave”
Stitch Markers “Red Wave” Originally uploaded by jwordsmith. These stitch markers will be winging their way to somone from the Stitch Marker Exchange, later this month.

Lorna’s Laces Super Sock – Flame
I came home on a wet and dreary end-of-fall day to find a little package of loveliness waiting for me. It’s one of those moments when I want to drop everything (including two incredibly cute boys) and cast on. Then I remembered that once I had wound the Black Watch version of this I was… Continue reading Lorna’s Laces Super Sock – Flame
