Exciting Times!

Thanks so much for all of your kind words and support for Petrea! I’ll actually be releasing an update of the pattern for those who have purchased it tomorrow–not because of an error, but because I’ve decided I should tweak the sleeve caps on plus sizes (44” bust and above) to provide a better fit.

I may or may not have just had pretzel slims, greek hummus, and white wine for dinner. Ahem.

As I near the end of the fit to flatter series (just one more week until the next installment!), I find myself thinking about where I want to go from here. Your response to the tutorials has been overwhelmingly positive and touching, and to my delight people actually seem interested in what I have to Continue Reading
Eating my own dog food.

I work in computer security, and at least in my little corner of this field there’s a saying/principle that we should ‘eat our own dog food’. It basically means that before we roll some new security enhancement out on the general populace, we should be willing to try it out on ourselves first. Now, I Continue Reading
