We're still at home, since BS hasn't put in his appearance this early, but we'll be taking off soon, regardless.

One of my projects this week was to finish the baby hat DGD1 started when she was here. I used it to teach her how to knit in the round, and then I continued it, but it has been…

Today is Daphne's birthday! It's hard to believe it has already been two years!

 


Here's one of her new toys. It's a castle slide, just right for a little princess with an imagination and lots of energy. Baxter, the dog, enjoys watching her play on it, especially because it means she plays outdoors longer. Her little brother is…

I've updated our downloadable desktop wallpaper for spring to freshen things up.

We kept the popular flirty socks and Bare ice cream images up there, plus added some of Christy's spring yarn catalog images (… Continue

After the heavy snow we got a few days ago, spring is coming back. The sun and the foehn melted a lot of the snow away. I really hope this winter thing to be over now ... I spent this afternoon sitting outside in the sun, watching our cats catching snowballs I made for them, reading and knitting and listening to my favourite music. It was so peaceful!

My sweater "Sweetheart" keeps growing; I finished the body part (front and back)… Continue

It's so odd as a garment designer always working several seasons ahead. We're just about to start work on some new Fall patterns - warm, richly colored, cozy knits. But as for me? I can't wait to don my summer dresses already! Give me SPRING!



I am so glad for yarns like Shine Worsted and the new Comfy. They allow me to swatch new cable patterns and ideas for fall, but use a warmer-weather… Continue
