I ended the heading of this post with an exclamation mark…why…well, it’s because I’m tired of explaining my day to a number of folk. When I discuss my work/sleep/downtime hours to other colleagues, say, in a quiet time at an art show, I don’t have to explain…it’s just taken as my particular part of the day,…
Wow…I haven’t written a post since before Christmas! I have so many things I love to share but have been sick, lazy or snowed in…then doing my taxes…to actually log in and post. Here is something that came over my email today from www.atlasobscura.com and as someone who has done theatre costume work and loves historic…
Bar to be repaired…new strip. I recently hosted a private one on one workshop in my studio with a newbie knitter student who wanted to learn to make dishcloths for her business…quicker than hand knitting. First, we started out with an LK150 which I didn’t like for the heavy cotton she needed to use so we…
I may have mentioned this before but I’m a huge fan of the TV program Project Runway. Two weekends ago my sister Judi Goldie and I took a trip to New York (on Amtrak not a Greyhound a la Billy Joel) and as it was her first time in the Big Apple it was ‘her’ trip…
…but I’m in Fall mode. I can’t believe I haven’t written anything since April! After my wonderful trip to California we went to St. Martin to our favorite place…for what might be the last time! We’ve been keeping our eye on the island and hope we can return in a year or so and…
As my recent flight from San Diego to San Francisco was cancelled due to the awful weather I went with my lovely hostess, Nancy, to her group of women as a school who came to class to learn machine knitting. It was a hoot! What a great bunch of ladies…some of whom I had been…
My recent trip to San Francisco and stay with Nancy Robertshttp://www.machineknittingtodyefor.com/ netted me a lesson in painting knitted pieces and then two pieces for me to knit up into socks. I love the idea of knitting up pieces and dyeing as opposed to dyeing skeins…more controlled and creative I think. Here, Nancy is checking my…
Well, I’ve finally knit the socks from the yarn that I painted in San Francisco. They’re almost finished but I have to catch a stitch I dropped rows ago!
Nancy Davis & me in San Diego I recently was invited to travel to California by two wonderful Machine Knitting Guilds (San Diego & San Francisco) and it was Nancy Roberts of the San Francisco guild and of machineknittingtodyefor.com who got this ball rolling. My last port of call was San Francisco and a few…
Well, mild but blustery, I made it over to Karen’s yesterday and we spent nearly three hours together. We had planned to meet at another member’s house out in the country but the snow and wind were so bad no one dared take a car out on that road…so we decided on meeting in town…
