Secret Knitting

Posted on | April 19, 2006 | 6 Comments

Haven’t updated too frequently due to the secret knitting project for Magknits. I would have updated with the 7″ of jersey I’ve completed on the DB Raglan, but I didn’t want to bore everyone to death! Even after this batch of secret knitting is finished, there might be a whole new batch soon. I’m working on something with someone and that’s all I can say for the moment! It’s very exciting and I wish I could spill the beans, but you’ll all find out soon enough!

Considering that I may not be getting too much personal knitting done in the near future, I’ve been trying to think of other things I can talk about. Here’s a couple of suggestions that some of you may be interested in:

How to become a designer in the fashion industry
How the fashion industry works (real life – not project runway somewhat real life!)
Current trends/color direction for the season

I’m always asked a lot of questions about what really goes on and how you get here, so maybe you guys would be interested too? Drop me a line, let me know what you think! I would also love to do a little series on designing for handknits, but I just don’t have the time right now to devote to something like that. Maybe in the future when things slow down a bit!

    Another vote from me! It would be interesting to hear a comparison between how you design for work vs. the patterns you sell/give to handknitters.

    Heh – I’d love to hear what you think of Project Runway! That show was sort of a guilty pleasure in my household this year…

    All of those things sound really great–I will read avidly, if you’d like to talk about them!

    Hi, M! Can’t wait to hear about your super-secret projects. In the meantime – I am v. interested in color/design trends. Also, is there special software you use for designing? And finally – thanks for the tip about mohair! Freezer…who would have thunk?!
