Once upon a time, I managed a computer lab with a raised floor. Cables of all sorts ran under floor tiles that you could lift, revealing a hoard of dust bunnies in addition to the cables. Fortunately, I didn’t have to lift the tiles or deal with the dust bunnies very often. Unfortunately, these particular […]
Franklin Habit wrote a too-true post last week about the disorientation that comes with travel, and needing to remind himself where he is and what he needs to do. For me, the disorientation comes after I return home. “Re-entry” can take days. For instance, I got back from Stitches West late on Sunday. Monday and […]
Sock news

Sock Summit 2011 is approaching fast, and nobody knows it better than ST-1. Among a million other tasks, they’ve got to figure out who will teach what during four sock-filled days. Imagine: dozens of teachers, umpteen three- and one-hour time slots, untold numbers of tantalizing topics. The mind boggles at the thought of spreadsheets bursting […]
In the past few weeks I haven’t been doing any teaching. (With good reason! Who wants to take a knitting class during the holiday season?) But that doesn’t mean I’ve been twiddling my thumbs. December is prime time for teachers like myself and event organizers to get together and plan the coming year. The result? […]

Recently I haven’t been blogging about interesting knitting projects because… well, because this is what I’ve been knitting: Oodles of I-cord. Yards and yards of I-cord.

It’s official: this September I get to teach at Tempe Yarn and Fiber. I’m looking forward to it—I’ve heard all kinds of good things about the shop. The weekend of September 23-25 will feature Bind-off Bonanza, Chart Reading, and Chart Writing, which I’ve been teaching a fair bit lately. And I get to dust off […]
Last weekend was Black Sheep Gathering. As usual, it was a blast and a half. I missed out on the Sheep to Shawl competition, but I got to watch Judith MacKenzie McCuin at work in the fleece judging—wow, what an education! (Judith, how do you hold so much fiber info in your head??) Wandering the […]
Knit Nation

Have you heard about Knit Nation? Like the sign says, “Learn, shop, knit, spin!” The more I think about it, the more thrilled I am to be taking part. It’s in London, for cryin’ out loud! How fun will that be? I’m seriously looking forward to sneaking off to the V&A. I’m teaching six of […]
XRX has just posted the brochure for Stitches Midwest—and it looks like it’ll be a fabulous event! The schedule is packed with lots of new classes. And I’m looking forward to the Opening Day Spotlight: Gwen Bortner, Laura Bryant, and Anna Walden will discuss “Building on the Bias” in an Entrelac Design Challenge. The hiccups? […]
