I’ve always loved movies, always always, but I’ve also kind of fluctuated with how big a part of my life movies are. My whole family was always big into movies… in fact, my brothers loved horror movies from an age way too young to actually watch them! They just loved the idea of horror moviesContinue reading “Moviiiiies! My off-and-on life obsession, and my faves of the 2010s list”

Pizzzzzza!
Around the end of 2021 or maybe the beginning of 2022 I think I saw a video or something on social media where someone made a pizza using a cast iron pan. I thought, hey I recently got a 12″ cast iron pan, I’ll get a pizza dough at Trader Joe’s and try it out.Continue reading “Pizzzzzza!”
Blogs are back, right?
I have no idea, but I miss mine, so I’m bringing it back. New name (sort of) & domain for the new decade, but the old posts are all still in the archive and searchable, all the way back to 2007. When I started the blog back then, it was meant to accompany my printedContinue reading “Blogs are back, right?”
It’s Me Made May and I am Ready! (Or, my first full year as a garment sewist)
Oh hi blog! Since I only pop in here once in awhile, I’m going to start with a little life catch-up, then I’ll get on to garment sewing! Wait but FIRST, I have been blogging a little bit, for my work! I did a post for my work blog that I’d been meaning to doContinue reading “It’s Me Made May and I am Ready!

Ch ch ch ch changes…
Ohmygosh hi! I’m thinking about blogging again! My life has changed so much over the last few years, and at this point there are basically two paths this old blog could go down… it could just stop, and be nothing but an archive of past posts, or I could try to revive it as somethingContinue reading “Ch ch ch ch changes…”
leethal recycled yarn!
I’m selling skeins of yarn again! They are recycled yarns, which I’ve unraveled very carefully (minimal knots, usually 1 per skein), washed well, and sometimes spun together. There are plain skeins, which are all wool or wool blends — the white one has some camel hair and the grey has a little cashmere! There areContinue reading “leethal recycled yarn!”
leethal Stencils! Four ways to use them…
New thing! In graphic design school, we used a die cutter for a couple of projects, I was really into it, I checked craigslist juuuust in case and happened to find one used for less than half the price of a new one. So I impulsively bought it, started brainstorming what I could use itContinue reading “leethal Stencils! Four ways to use them…”
COLOR SQUARED (my book!!)
My book is out! You can buy it! And color it! It’s fun! So here’s the concept: every image page (50 of them) is a grid with numbers 1-5, and blank and x. Blank (zero) through 5 are lightest through darkest. x is the background. You color (or draw, or stamp even) however you want,Continue reading “COLOR SQUARED (my book!!)”
Book review (& giveaway!): Mosaic & Lace Knits
For years I’ve thought, someday I want to design something that combines slip-stitch colorwork and lace. I’ve done tons of designs with slipped-stitch colorwork, also called mosaic knitting, although I sometimes see mosaic used as something slightly different than most of my slip-stitch designs so I don’t usually use that term, but I’m not reallyContinue reading “Book review (& giveaway!): Mosaic & Lace Knits”
Book review: Norah Gaughan’s Knitted Cable Sourcebook
I’m so excited that the publisher sent me a review copy of the Knitted Cable Sourcebook, because it instantly became one of my favorite knitting books! I’ve been a fan of Norah Gaughan for years, because her designs are amazing. This new book may seem like just an awesome cable pattern stitch dictionary, which it is…Continue reading “Book review: Norah Gaughan’s Knitted Cable Sourcebook”
