A fun weekend
Written on February 5, 2013 at 1:54 pm, by Amy
I just had a glorious weekend away, and I’m still awash in the energy and happiness I always bring home from R&R weekends. They’re good for the soul, you know? They’re good for FO photography, too. We found a perfect spot to take pictures of that last little tidbit I showed you. Can’t wait to Continue Reading

I’ve recently returned from a cross-country trip, which makes for fantastic knitting time. Hooray for long plane rides! So, I have a sneak peek to share with you all: It’s knit in Lorna’s Laces Solemate, which is such a phenomenal yarn I couldn’t possibly do it justice. It’s light, drapey, has a lovely sheen, a Continue Reading
All the scarves

I continue to adore the loom. I wanted to make my wonderful friend Beth a beautiful scarf for the holidays, and decided I needed some practice with weaving colorwork before I broke out the Plucky primo sport. So one day when Kellee was over, we rooted around in my scraps bin to find something that Continue Reading

Well, that was quite a month. Let’s pretend it never happened, and it hasn’t been over a month since I’ve written/answered email/looked on rav/sat down for more than 5 minutes, okay? I’ll just say “Happy new year!” and we’ll move on? Of course I have my usual complement of exciting things going on behind the Continue Reading

I’ve finished a spate of deadline projects recently, freeing up the needles (and my time) for other fun stuff. First and foremost, making good use of something I picked up at Rhinebeck: That’s Anzula Cricket in “Root Beer”, done in plain weave on an 8 dent heddle. Just a simple little scarf for Jacob, but Continue Reading

(I stay with a big group of friends every year, in a lovely farmhouse with a pond in back and sheep and goats all over the place. It rocks.) WEBS makes a fabulous appetizer for a weekend of fiber-related insanity. I will enjoy anything the wonderful CIA students make me to eat, even if I Continue Reading
The Games

I have lots of news–a new pattern in the current Twist Collective, tons of workshops going on this fall to tell you about, sharing the projects that have been keeping me busy–but for today, I’d like to just give a quick peek at the productive couple of weeks I’ve spent watching some amazing athletes. That Continue Reading

One of the very nicest things about being done with the book is that I occasionally have time for something I like to call “fun”. Now, my good friend Kellee and I share the same definition of the word fun. And we’re both a little bit… let’s see, how shall I phrase this. We’re both Continue Reading
Well, shoot (it)!

I swear, I don’t know how the time slips by so quickly. The second Caulfield sample is done; the pattern is off to the tech editor, some tremendously fun swatches are being worked into submissions, and my plans for the fall continue at full steam. (Wait. Maybe that’s how the time slips by so quickly?) Continue Reading
You could have said Dennis…

I turn 37 on Monday. Now, usually I’m less fond of birthdays in the latter half of a decade (they all feel downhill to me, for some reason), but 37 is special. In addition to being immortalized in cinema (in Clerks as well as Monty Python, but, uh, I won’t link to that scene), 37 Continue Reading
