This is a pic of me with the lovely Nancy, proprietor of Woven Art in East Lansing. I always look for knitting shops as we travel and I picked this one out of the phone book as there were a few and I could only visit one if we intended to make the Canadial border…
Yet another pic of the style that looks really nice on lots of people but doesn’t sell. However, I must make a point here, just to get it out!!!!!!! Why do some people think that because they are dealing with an individual and not a huge company that they can pay for their merchandise when…
This is me (dark… with specs) and my neighbour at the recent One of a Kind Chicago show. Jennifer is a potter and has wonderful designs that would also look good knit up somehow! Waterside Studio is her work’s monika, and he Mum helps her out in her lovely booth. I need a desk too…
Well, the show was great success and I had a lot of fun. Sometimes the most fun was sitting on the floor playing ‘Skip-Bo’ with my friends’ two boys! I’t’s so fun to play kids card games!! Anyway, we had a few stops in East Lansing one of which was ‘Elderly’ Instruments which seems to…
Well, sigh and yipee… the last (and biggest) show of the year is over, and though I have a ton of my cardis to knit before Christmas and get them to my clients the pressure and stress isn’t the same. The Chicago One of a Kind is great and it was neat this year in…

Ok, so now I have a photo. It’s me in my booth just as opening night is getting rolling. I think I have my act together! My other half is nowhere to be found at this point (I use a tripod & 10 second delay to take the pic) but it’s nice and quiet… before…
Well, first, I have not photo to post… well I do but it’s still in the camera along with pics of the booth and some photos of clients which I took for their files. For five years, I’ve been showing up on the morning of the first day and setting up before they boot us…
I Can’t really believe I’m sitting in a motel room en route to Chicago for the final show of the year. My knits and I are returning to the One of a Kind show at the Merchandise Mart for four days. It’s been simply ages since I posted and this is why, I’ve been mired…
I recently had a workshop on Cochenille’s Garment Designer pattern making software and one of the attendees, Marthe, was French, (she drove all the way from the other side of Ottawa so she came a long way), and had a little trouble with what I was telling everyone.
