Arts and Crafts…and a GIVEAWAY!…
Today is an exciting day for me! As you'll read in KnitBits #307, Booklet #290 Vintage™: Arts and Crafts is my very first complete collection.

Maternity Sweaters!
Last week a KnitBits subscriber wrote in asking if we'd ever think of designing a maternity sweater.

Blockheads!
ETA 5/26/2009: Congrats to Joyce, our contest winner! Thank you all for participating. The comments at now closed and we will be posting a follow-up blocking Q&A soon. "You blockhead!" One of many epithets hurled at long-suffering Charlie Brown, but if you called Norah and me blockheads...we'd grin from ear to ear and say "Yup!"… Continue reading Blockheads!
