It seems I’ve been a bit lax in showing off my self-published designs. So while the Indie GAL sale is going on, I thought I’d go back through my included designs. The Pepperberry Cowl is the first pattern I self-published on Ravelry. It’s a fingering weight cowl that uses three colours, but you could […]

The Indie designer Gift-a-long starts today and I’m finally able to participate as a designer. I really wanted to last year, but I was a design short of qualifying. What is this?

Craft, Designs, IndieGAL, Knitting, PhDI’ve been quite a bit absent from here for quite a while. It wasn’t intended, really. I meant to post, I was just neck deep in Ph.D and then in Ph.D recovery once it was done. Which really has involved sleeping, a lot, knitting and reading. And more sleeping. I’m finally back to writing

A tradition from my childhood, and one I love to keep up, is to make gifts. Sometimes this involves making food such as jam (jelly if you’re in the USA), mustard, relish and often sweet treats, to give as hampers. It also involves making other stuff. Sometimes I start months in advance. One year I

Photos, Editing, editing and more editing. Ugh. Also knitting Read More »
Knitting, Life, PhD, Photography, UncategorizedWhile I’m procrastinating about editing I thought you would all love to know what I’m going to knit this year. Of course you want to know. (BTW, I am actually editing, it’s just very tedious and really boring and the only thing keeping me sane is my cat and a cold milo). I want to

Knitting, LifeI’ve been meaning to post this for a while, but got sidetracked with knitting, reading and doing nothing while I have had the chance. But that’s over and I have to get back to PhD work, even though I’d really love to take another week off. I can’t. My PhD is due this year and

Knitting, Life, PhDOkay, so I’ve been MIA for a while and my apologies. I’ve been caught up with my Ph.D but I have fantastic news that I’ve been sitting on for a while, and now I can finally tell you. I’ve had a design published! It’s my first publication and I am ridiculously excited by this. Thank

Designs, KnittingIt’s thursday afternoon and I’ve given up trying to get much of anything done as my shoulder has decided to start aching and it’s making typing annoying as I keep having to stop and start, resting it so it doesn’t get worse. I know why it’s doing it, but it’s annoying. I want to finish
