I have a previously published pattern that needs reworked. I have another one that I want to expand. I have several samples I need to knit for both of them, as well as for a third pattern. I have two designs I’m working on with an external deadline. I have a handful of design calls [...]

But now that we’re mostly settled and unpacked (what isn’t done is in the basement and not urgent) and Steve has left, [...]

If my daughter picnicked with Monet, what would she wear?
This was the question I asked myself when I saw the summer design call from Sanguine Gryphon posted on Ravelry. The theme was English Garden and the very first line was “A Monet painting come to life.” I love Claude Monet. If I could (literally) lose myself in his paintings, I’d do it in a [...]
