An FO and a New Book
The other day I had a serious–and I mean serious–attack of startitis. Oh, we have all gone through such things, but this was somewhat extreme even for me. I sat there and cast on 3 projects. I cast on a bed sock, a Lily Pad, and a shawlette. And, I’m using 3 different types of [...]

Errata/Erratum: It’s Still an Error
The other day I got an e-mail from a designer whose pattern I purchased months ago. The designer apologized because an error had been found in the pattern, and she attached a corrected version of the pattern. This was the second time in just a few weeks that I had received e-mails telling me about [...]

I’m Here, I’m Here
Don’t ya just hate when life gets in the way of doing what you really want to do? That’s what has happened to me lately. I’m a freelance publishing-type person, and I have spent the last 10 days or so editing what is most likely the worst manuscript ever written. It was not written in [...]

Thank You
The generosity of people always amazes me. I don’t know why it does, as it’s been proven time after time. More than $3 million has been donated to the Red Cross by texting Haiti to 90999! Incidentally, that program was set up through the U.S. State Department. And donations are pouring in to Doctors Without [...]

Sending Up the Signal
You’ve seen the pictures on television. And you’ve likely seen pictures on Facebook or Twitter. Wherever you’ve seen them or listened to the story, the situation in Haiti is devastating. There’s probably a stronger word, but I can’t think of it right now. There are estimates that 100,000 or more people have been killed. There’s [...]
We Have a Winner!
Thanks to everyone who left comments about their fibery goals. Let’s hope we are all successful in meeting them–at least some of them. I put the random number generator to work, and the winner of It’s in the Bag is Shelly! Congratulations, Shelly, and check your private plurks. Don’t forget to get your answers in [...]

The Year of the Shawl?
As I sit here writing this, it’s snowing outside. And, I’m assuming, it’s cold. So far, we’ve been lucky. We’ve not had a lot of snow, and it hasn’t been nearly as cold as it has been in some areas of the country. It’s perfect weather to stay inside. It reminds me how lucky I [...]
Idea Wrangler–Yep, That’s Me
Today I announced on Plurk that I had a new idea. Another new idea. I have a lot of them. Some might say I have too many. Sometimes I agree with those “some.” Nevertheless, I can honestly say that I hope they never stop coming. I’d prefer, however, that they come at more opportune times. [...]
