May Day, MAYDAY!! It's so odd to be returning to Lambertville. I grew up in Toledo - lived for a few years in Temperance, MI - and here I am, returning! I wonder if I'll see anyone I knew as a kid... Oh, would THAT be scary! If you're in the area and free on Tuesday evening (hey, that's TOMORROW!) I'd LOVE to see you! Come on by and say HI! So I bought a bike... Film at eleven.
THEY'RE HERE! And they look better than I ever imagined! The flip books arrived from China, safe, happy and stored in my garage. Where we'll put the car I have NO idea... The Knit Stitch The Purl Stitch Directional Decreases "Grandma" Increase† †The Grandma Increase is my own little technique to create a nice increase in Stockinette Stitch fabric which doesn't show a purl bump - it's easy and very useful! Techniques to come this summer include Casting On, Binding Off, Kitchner Stitch & other fun techniques! Crochet stitches to come, too! Order yours today! Two New Patterns The Mitered Felted Handbag pattern is doing so well I think I'm going to base a class on it! When I took this to the Project Runway audition this little handbag garnered more excitement than ANY other item I had with me. It's a universal pattern, meaning that you can use any yarn you'd like - and essentially make it ANY size you'd like. Two sizes are included (tiny and larger) but you can make the pattern your own quite easily! It's a Wrap? It's a Jacket? The second pattern is an old favorite, my Twisted Float Cocoon Shrug - but I've rewritten it to be a universal pattern (evidently the universe is expanding...) You can use ANY yarn you'd like, and by taking two totally NON-threatening measurements from your body, you can determine the perfect size for you! Different from the Vogue Knitting pattern seen in Fall 2005 - but the design is the same and the outcome will be beautiful! This is the pattern I use when I teach this class around the country. It's almost summer - get your butts outside (and take your knitting!!)
