After I posted about joining Twitter, I thought of the perfect post title: "Another Knitter on Twitter." Oh well.

Inspired by some fellow designers who are on Twitter (Connie, Melissa,

While organizing my stash, I came across a scarf that was supposed to be a Christmas 2005 gift for my husband.

I feel like I've been shot out of a cannon, with the last couple of weeks flying by in a whirl of back-to-school activities and (sadly) not much knitting.  I did have the chance to finally mee

Sto ripensando il tweed...

One disadvantage of having spent most of the last three years abroad is that I rarely have had the chance to get together with other knitwear designers.  So when

Susan and Sally for nominating me for the Kreativ Blogger award-- I'

I think this has been the longest time I've gone without posting since starting this blog.  The time just slipped away:  somewhere between leaving Italy for the summer, arriving back in the U.S., and taking care of various home- and family-related needs, suddenly, it became July.  I haven't done a great deal of knitting either, although I have made an important step in regard to my future designing and knitting (or perhaps non-knitting) life:  I've hired a Test Knitter.  I'm anxiously awaiting the results, but in fact there's probably no turning back:  I just want to design more things than I can possibly knit with my own two hands. Near future plans:  by the time the kids are back in school, there are several things I want to accomplish, design-wise.  I want to write up designs for a hat or two; and for a child's vest with which I hope to kill two birds with one stone (surely there's a kinder way to express this sentiment!), namely create something personal for my two sons, for whom I've neither knit nor designed in the past almost-two-years, and create a design which will be relatively quick and fun to knit.  I want to work up various submissions including one for Twist Collective, which to me is an intriguing and exciting twist on the online knitting magazine.  I want to finish my top-down raglan sweater using Tilli Tomas Fil de la Mer, on which I am slowly progressing; I didn't take any photos of the four different neckline treatments I tried, or the three different sleeve cuff ideas I had, but next post:  photos of what still remains. 

I meant to link to this page awhile back (found thanks to the TS).   Never hurts to have a little cuteness with your coffee ("a little" being the operative words here).

The blog takes on a life of its own, true?  I first started blogging because I had an idea for a book of knitting patterns--a series of books, actually--several years ago, but I decided that no editor would
