Some reflection, a survey, and a design preview for you!

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my business, with some things coinciding and pushing me to get more organized and really figure out what I should be focusing on.  Doing creative things for a living is damn hard sometimes, and I’ve felt a little lost for the last few days. I want to justContinue reading “Some reflection, a survey, and a design preview for you!”

New Pattern: Twisted Ankles!

Want to knit some legwarmers?! My newest design, Twisted Ankles is squishy, bulky, cabley yumminess – with the cables twisting around each other, then bursting off the garter stitch base to become buttonhole straps, wrapping around the backs of your legs… There’s a smaller size, which are like ankle warmers (the blue/green and white examples)Continue reading “New Pattern: Twisted Ankles!”

New mini-ebook: First 4 months of Club Patterns!

A few fun knitterly things!

I was interviewed on a knitting podcast!  It’s called Knit Happens, and it’s part of pdx.fm, but we didn’t talk much about Portland-specific things (except to mention that Twisted is my favorite lys!).  She asked me about a bunch of different things that I do and have done, so we talked about Game Knitting, theContinue reading “A few fun knitterly things!”

Knitters are the best! Plus, 2009 mosaic…

Wow, the knitters’ response to Knitters without Borders and ravelry’s Help for Haiti has been incredible!  I know more established designers have been raising thousands – crazy awesome!  I am happy to say that you’ve helped me raise way more than I expected when I put out the word that I’d donate all pattern salesContinue reading “Knitters are the best!

Making this quick because I’ve been sick all week and am no better today; hopefully my fluffy head won’t prevent this post from being readable.  Need to put off as much work as possible to get myself healed up in time for Crafty Wonderland on the 13th, so don’t expect much from me for theContinue reading “Crafts for The Knittn’ Kitten free ebook!”
