As promised, close ups from the center panel: While taking the photos, I discovered that I had one color misnamed. The lightest shade is couscous, not off white. I've corrected my previous post.

I hear you
I'm asking Margery to bring her blanket in to the office for some close-up photography. I was working with the photos I had, but I can see from you comments you need more! Thanks, N
the center panel
Knowing that M is crazy for B & W stripes, I started my panel with B & W stripes 🙂 Aiming for reversibility, and reduced curling, I decided to alternate rev st st and st st.

Pithy instructions for M’s birthday blanket
I'm sorry I wasn't able to get to this sooner, but finally, I have time to write start on "pithy instructions" (as Elizabeth Zimmerman used to say) for the afghan I showed a while back, Margery's birthday blanket. Â Be forewarned, we didn't plan this blanket as something to be written out and published. In a… Continue reading Pithy instructions for M’s birthday blanket

the working boy’s sweater
Berroco's Johnny Boy sweater in action: In a clever multitasking move, Margery knit the original Johnny Boy sweater to fit her grandson, Noah. Reports have it that the sweater has seen heavy action ever since, has been washed (and dried) numerous times, and it still looks great. It's knit in Berroco Sox, our all wool sock yarn… Continue reading the working boy’s sweater
glampyre’s sanpoku
I love checking my RSS feed to see what's up with my favorite knitting and craft blogs. (Sometimes it does get a little ahead of me - like when I have 1200 items to look at from my Ravelry friend's favorites list - oh well). This week I was so happy to see Stephanie Japel's finished… Continue reading glampyre’s sanpoku
a thrill
I've been hoping for this, waiting quietly, yet anxiously, for this honor. We should all be proud, all of us knitters. Knitting made it into my alumni magazine!!!!! Check out this article in the Brown Alumni Monthly or BAM as it affectionately refers to itself 🙂 It's a small article and the online version lacks… Continue reading a thrill
stash and burn excitement
I am thrilled that Stash and Burn chose to interview me for their 50th podcast episode. Jenny and Nicole's relaxed style made me feel right at home. I think I really sound like "me". Check it out. http://www.stashandburn.com/2008/03/episode-50-turn.html I like blog posts with pictures, so here's a photo of a tiny bit of my stash.… Continue reading stash and burn excitement
