What can I say that hasn't already been said all over the Interweb? I was Tweeting our trip, you can catch up at our Twitter page. It was a whirlwind! It was my second time attending the The National Needle Arts trade show and I felt a lot more comfortable with my new perch. The… Continue reading TNNA Columbus Videos + More

Blocking Part Two, where Cirilia and Norah answer your questions
It was quite thrilling to read all of your comments on blocking. Many of you are in agreement with us that it is a vital part of the knitting process. I hope I allayed some fears; a lot of us seem to hear a strident voice telling us that we have to do things… Continue reading Blocking Part Two, where Cirilia and Norah answer your questions

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!"

Sadly, there have been many Peruvia projects that have been languishing in my mental… Continue reading Peruvia…
hexagaughan happiness
I am feeling very loved. Last evening I received an incredible gift. My fan group on Ravelry, lead by the intrepid cadburyskeeper got together (in an on-line sense) and made an afghan for me. The 6" hexagons, they dubbed them "hexagaughans" since I am so into them, were knit and crocheted by folks in nine countries: Austria, Australia,… Continue reading hexagaughan happiness
