OK, too long since I posted, not that I haven’t had anything happen, just, perhaps, too much happening that kept me away from this segment of cyber space! I had a weekend workshop in my studio and though I only had two who could make it on that particular weekend, and I like to have…
Well, it’s Studio Tour time here again in Kingston and there is a quiet spot after our lunch so I thought I’d post. Bucketed down this morning and we despaired having anyone brave the elephants to come out…. then we found ourselves knee deep in visitors. Now the sun is out and a much nicer…
Just so cool… my neighbour’s sister in England has been doing some fibre art/knitting/college project thingy in ‘Here Gallery‘ called, I think, ‘Twisted: Knitting on the Edge’ in Bristol that I just find neat to look at. I got sent some pictures of her giant needles and of Steph working that I just had to…
Well, I know it was planned, Brianne told me so, but it was so significant! Brianne Begani is in sales at the One of a Kind Chicago Show which happens in December and is one of the key contact person at the show. Anyway, Friday…. I’m mired in work, it’s been a funny year. I’ve…
Yes, I know, sad title for this post really but applicable. Actually got out of the studio Saturday evening and went to a book launch to support our neighbour David More who has just finished his first novel ‘The Eastern Door’.

Road Trip!!!! Three women, one red car and a machine knitting seminar, the Bonnie Triola seminar, to get to. We arrived to late to find a bottle of wine to relax after the long road trip so I dug out some chai tea bags and we hit the hay. A busy first day, getting registered,…
Thank heaven for junk or ‘yard sale’ stores and the husbands who frequent them. My husband goes out, I don’t know where he is (he works at home) but he comes home with the faint odor of… no, not perfume, not booze but mildew from rooting through these establishments! Today he came home with a…
How wonderful for my friend Georgia to give me this little box which she made for me for my birthday. It’s the little ball of wool of polymer clay ‘yarn’ on top complete with tiny knitting needles and real cotton which Georgia managed to actually knit that gets me. I was overwhelmed at it’s ……..
Well, I’m knitting as fast as I can, however, things have gone very slowly over the Summer and I feel so behind in my orders for my knit cardigan jackets. The cardi in the pic is one I designed last Fall and did so well with in Chicago at the One of a Kind Show…
