From A-symmetric to Z-ipper
Funny, when I receive a new Vogue Knitting magazine, I tend to have two emotions. The first is, of course, excitement as anyone who follows my knitting knows that I believe VK stands well above any other publication for outstanding knitting fashion, photography, and inspiration. The other emotion I notice is fear. I hear myself…

Portrait finished, maybe…
Can you love all finished projects with the same fervor? It is not necessarily the feeling of happiness I wanted. I am not saying I am not happy. Maybe, more undecided. I have asked myself, what would I change? How could I make it better? or more to my liking? more exciting? And, I…

Hoodie GLAM
I love texture. I love dolman sleeves. I love oversized tops and I love hoods. What can I say? I love this project! However, I wasn’t thrilled when Vogue Knitting, 360 suggested muppet-like. (Keep in mind, it was knitted in purple.) No, I do not want to look like a muppet nor did I…

Cable Snake
I am so excited to finally be able to share one of my latest finished projects with you and am equally excited to be able to slip on a pair of boots as my foot has made considerable progress in its healing this last week! It would be easy, of course, to stand in some…

Yarn Bombing
Anything yarn-like is going to catch my attention so when this thing called yarn bombing came exploding onto the scene, what can I say, it intrigued me. I wanted to know the how and the why of such an art form. Well, in researching, it seems like this yarn bombing, otherwise known as yarn graffiti…

Yoga
I am not really knowing which came first, the horse or the cart regarding this most recent project called “yoga”. Admittedly, I know nothing about yoga which is only substantiated when in conversation with my daughter. She tells me about goal setting, health and wellness, approach to life, not to mention the specific types of yoga…
