Way back in February, I learned my cousin had a newborn daughter via Facebook. Her name is Brooklyn. (Yes, like me, my cousin was born in Brooklyn, but he hasn’t lived there for about 20 years). I decided to make her a baby blanket using some stash yarn. I started with the motif from Frankie [...]

About a month ago, I had the pleasure of checking out Vogue Knitting Live with a press pass. I actually recorded three different interviews at the event, and I’m pleased to share one today. Joan McGowan-Michael is the designer behind White Lies Designs. In addition to her extensive collection of (mostly) knit (with some crochet) [...]

Yesterday, I took an amazing class, Double-Ended, Circular Tunisian Tapestry with Lily Chin. I’d never taken a class with Lily before, but I’ve heard a lot of good things. Well, believe the hype, people, because she is an awesome teacher! It’s rare to find a talented designer who is also an excellent teacher, but Lily has [...]

I mentioned last month that I’m going to Vogue Knitting Live, which starts today. Last night, I picked up my guide and badge at the hotel. And this morning, the weather conspired to make it a perfect day for wearing handmade accessories. After an unusually warm week, today it’s very cold. I’m wearing my All [...]

Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting Karia (also known as KoutureCrochet on Ravelry). As a Brooklyn native, I’m always excited to meet crocheters in my home borough online – somehow, it often seems easier than meeting them in real life! Karia is organizing an interesting Kickstarter project and also co-owns an Etsy shop. You can [...]

It’s usually when I have obligatory projects with looming deadlines that I suddenly have the urge to begin new projects. My current case of startitis revolves around two projects for me: a pair of socks and a conceptual knitting project, my 2013 Crocheted Temperature Scarf.
