Summer 08 Interweave + Swallowtail

Summer Interweave I haven’t had a secret reveal in awhile, but this is a special one. Have you all seen the Summer 08 preview of Interweave Knits (or the gallery)? I am so excited to announce that one of my designs made it in: the Wallis Cardigan! It was almost surreal the day that Eunny [...]

Fashion Friday

In the spirit of my full-time endeavor, I’d like to maybe spend a little time every week (or every other week) talking about fashion: trends, colors, personal sewing projects, and issues. For my first Fashion Friday, since it’s been in the news the past few weeks, I’d like to talk about where your clothes may [...]

I’ve also added more details [...]

All Stockinette Stitch, All the Time

Yes, I’ve reached the point of the stocking where it is all stockinette all the time – on size 0 needles! I’ve been plugging away for almost a week here and there: subway, car, cooking dinner, and am happy to say that I’m only about 1″ away from the light at the end of the [...]

Magknits Fall Out

As most of you probably already know, Magknits is no more as of today. I’m sure you’ve read enough about this today to last you a lifetime, so I’ll keep this short. Way back when, I had designed 2 patterns for Magknits: Sesame and Lux and I do plan to have them available either here [...]

Dear Kid Silk Haze

Dear Kid Silk Haze, We had so many good times together, Grannie Smith, 2 striped pullovers, lacy babydoll and butterfly – not to mention the stash. You’re just so beautiful, colorful, soft and warm. Even though some others don’t quite understand why you are so thin and fine and why anyone would want to bother [...]
