Hey friends!
What are you doing tomorrow night? Didn’t get enough at the Stitches Marketplace and need more yarn to fondle? Well, come on by Bobbin’s Nest Studio for their annual Stitches West Party!
It’s going to be a festival of independent fiber artists, from 6-9 pm.
I’m so honored and excited to be in such amazingly creative [...]
London, here we come!
We’re leaving tomorrow for a fantastic (we hope) vacation in London. I lived there when I was in college for a few months and absolutely loved it, so I can’t wait to go back.
I’ve talked myself down from 5 pairs of shoes to 3. But all 5 knitting projects are coming with [...]
I’ve been dyeing like a madwoman… I’m having Sock Summit flashbacks!
It’s all good though. It’s all in preparation for a wonderful event next Thursday.
It’s the Bobbin’s Nest 2nd Anniversary/Wool Candy Release party!
If you’re even SLIGHTLY local, please come by the Bobbin’s Nest next Thursday, the very first and one and only brick and mortar yarn [...]
Long time no blog, hey? Sorry. Part of the reason is that I’ve been knitting like a madwoman. I finished this:
in a week. Seven days. I cast on on a Friday, and cast-off the following Friday. Blocked it on Saturday, for a surprise bridal shower on Sunday.
My fingers were on fire. FIAH, people! I don’t [...]
Well, Sock Summit is over. Nina and I drove back from Portland on Monday, and I still feel like I’m recovering. Tired as I still am, I think I’m also suffering from a bit of Sock Summit withdrawal. For 4 days, I was a part of this huge, amazing THING, where thousands of knitters gathered [...]
The car is packed, my suitcase is packed, and anything I’ve forgotten, I’ll have to live without or pick up in Portland.
Sock Summit, HO!
See you in Portland!
ZOMG!!!! This time next week, Nina, Marilee and I will be in Portland. This time next week, we’ll be setting up the booth.
Holy crapmonkeys.
After months and months, I can’t believe it’s almost here. All of the dyeing is done (well, I technically have a few skeins of Fondant in Robin’s Egg that need to be [...]
I actually scheduled a whole weekend off from the dyepots this past weekend, and stuck to it! It was so exciting. And relaxing.
Saturday night was Beth and Ryan’s summer party. Every year, they have ONE HUGE BLOWOUT with a tropical theme. This year it was Magnum P.I., complete with a lookalike contest and a Ferrari [...]
Yet another fantastic Sock Summit related event! Ravelry is running a Dye for Glory contest for vendors at Sock Summit. Check out the details here… or here, and here.
I’ve created two colorways that I’ll have in my booth for sale at the Summit. I’m going to take pre-orders for pick up at my booth (Booth [...]
Here’s a small shop update to help get you through Monday.
I did a skein of Souffle Laceweight in this color as a custom skein for Kate, originally, but I loved it so much, I made it into an “official” colorway. Since Sock Summit is coming up in Oregon, I’ve got Oregon on the brain and [...]
