So now that it’s Easter season, I finally feel released to start some shameless and passionate advertising for the: Pentecost Shawl Mystery Knit-Along! Mystery Knit-Alongs are more or less the most fun thing ever. The way it works is that you sign up to knit a pattern that sounds interesting, but that no one has [...] Some patterns just… happen, nearly of their own accord. This one was truly the lovechild of necessity and laziness. Navarre Beach is a beautiful place – but it’s very windy. My haircut is that sort of reverse-mullet, short in back and long in front, which made it nearly impossible for me to read on the porch [...] You might be able to tell by the time you finish reading this post, but I’ve spent the last week listening to a book tape with very dry and precise prose. I love books on tape, and when I become particularly absorbed in one, I begin writing as if I can hear the reader voicing [...] … and back to the mundane again. The mundane, but the lovely mundane. After all, we fight the good fight and run the race so that we can have a good home to come back and enjoy normal, human things, right? And, at least in Christianity, becoming more human doesn’t mean becoming less embodied. That’s [...] I always feel a little bad doing a bunch of “work-y” posts in a row – this blog is primarily a form of self-expression, not a marketing tool. But… it is also a marketing tool. We’ve been working our little tushies off trying to do justice to the new Kirby Meritime yarn, and the fact [...] What do you get when you take a Mondrian, chuck all the blacks and whites, and add some curves? Honestly, I have no idea. But that is what Mum thought of when she gazed upon her new completed design, which we are calling Mondrette! (pattern now available on ravelry; kits with pattern included available on [...] The idea for this shawl happened all at once, as these things often do. And it happened in church, as it often does to me. We were visiting the Church of the Ascension in that fancy area of Pittsburgh called Oakland, and over the side chapel I spotted this. I was lucky to have my camera [...] It’s time? It’s time? Did she just say it’s time?! The launching of a brand new yarn is a freakishly exciting thing, especially when you’ve been working on it as long and hard as my dear mother has. If we were a big name brand, we would have a widely published newsletter, a whole team of [...] This is a big one, you guys – a big reveal that we have long been waiting to share with you. Mom has been dyeing her little heart out in the Maryland branch of Osborn Fiber Studio, and now I can show you what’s in store for this spring. During my few years of exposure to [...] Yesterday was really busy, and my planned Day 9* post fell through (I realized the thing is at home, I haven’t taken pictures of it, and the recipient hasn’t even opened it yet), which factors conflued to give me the perfect excuse to put off posting ’till today. But I think you’ll agree it was [...] |
