When I set out to do the 10 Tiny Knits collection I thought (guessed!) it would probably take a year. I’m not even going to tell you what year that was. Life certainly got in the way and there were many months where I didn’t have the emotional bandwidth to concentrate on anything but family.
I look forward to summer vacation for most of the year. In fact, I have been looking forward to this year’s summer vacation since the last day of my LAST summer vacation. One of the best parts of vacation is all the knitting time. There’s car knitting, ferry knitting, beach knitting, coffee shop knitting, sunrise porch knitting, sunset porch knitting… Knowing this, you would think that I would begin organizing myself days in advance. But for some reason I never start packing until an hour before it’s time to go.
My dear friends Kristen and Paige at the freshly minted Modern Maker (in Glen Ridge, NJ) have invited me to put on a couple of workshops as part of their Maker Monday series. These are not your typical knitting technique/project based classes. These 2 workshops are meant to empower you to bring your vision and inspiration to your own creations. While they work well as companions, they are both valuable on their own. We are offering a discount if you sign up for both classes - or if you bring a friend! Please join us and sign up on their website.
This blog has been sleeping for a loooong time. So long that I wonder - do people even read blogs anymore…? I realize my absence has probably been quite a mystery. KIDDING!!! But would you believe I was abducted by aliens? No? Did I give up knitting for quilting? Well that’s just crazy talk. The truth is, I’ve been hard at work on a knitting project that I wasn’t quite ready to share. Even now, it’s still mostly under wraps, except to my test knitters whose needles are clicking away.
I'm so pleased to be included in Quince & Co's Scarves, Etc. collection! Ginkgo is an oversized lace scarf/wrap knit up in Osprey - an aran weight yarn that makes a bold statement. The abstract lace pattern is reminiscent of the elegant and graphic ginkgo leaf. It is knit up in Carrie's yellow - the same exhuberant color of the ginkgo trees in fall. The golden yellow also serves as a warm reminder of the longer, sunny days. But of course it could be knit in any color. It's the perfect snuggly wrap to throw around your shoulders over a jean jacket in fall, or to wrap tightly around and around your neck when you're shoveling snow.
