Zickzack Tunic on Knitting Daily Gallery

Check out the Knitting Daily Gallery for some Zickzack tunic shots on a few different models :)

One Row Buttonhole Tutorial

Since most of my designs are cardigans, I thought it might be nice to share one of my favorite buttonhole techniques. I’ve been told by some knitters and tech editors that it that is not used too often. Or maybe it’s just one of those secret knitting techniques people just don’t talk about. Either way, [...]

So Close!

I’m so close to finishing up my last deadline project and can’t wait. I even brought some personal knitting with me to work today. I had forgotten how nice it is to enjoy my knitting and not have to speed knit! I also had my second Chiropractic adjustment last weekend and the wrist is still [...]

One Down, One To Go

With my IK fall project out of my hair, now I just have one other to deal with before I can truly rest my hands. Luckily it’s about half done, but I only have a 2 week window to complete and mail off. So far the hands have been really good to me and am [...]

I Survived

Well, the monster is done and ready to be put in the mail to Interweave tomorrow. It turned out well I think and I hope you guys like it come Fall. And if you don’t, just lie :) But I could not have made it without the help of 2 very gracious knitters! Kimberly swatched [...]

Don’t Want to Jinx it but……

Well, I definitely don’t want to jinx it, but I’m feeling a lot better. Not 100% yet and maybe a day on the computer will change my mind about this, but feeling pretty good. I went to the chiropractor on Saturday and we’re thinking it might be more of a pinched nerve causing the discomfort. [...]

Treatment: Day 5

Feeling pretty good this morning and looking forward to seeing the doc tomorrow. Going home to NJ tonight, so I won’t be able to update til I get back. Hopefully I’ll have nothing but good to say about the wrist and progress on the knitting! It’s going to take a little bit of extra motivation [...]

Treatment: Day 4

This morning the tendons in my forearm feel a little tight and ache (in my head) when I think about the project due in one week! About mid-morning had to switch back to the brace for computer work and rubbed some pain cream on my entire arm. Felt good enough at lunch to knit, but [...]

Treatment: Day 3

Not doing too bad today. Woke up with arms in strange position and they were asleep, but corrected that quickly. Very slight pain when using computer, but nothing abnormal considering the circumstances. At lunch went out to try and find some ibuprofen cream, but no luck. Went with an asprin type one that is supposed [...]
