New Business

Some inspirations for the first element. Lots and lots of knits planned.

Project Spectrum-fire

And a wonderful, thanks to an amazing fellow blogger, Tiennie, who named me for this:

Make My Day

So many people inspire and make my days better through their beautiful knits, photography, their incredible kindness and their great humor. Here are just a few of the blogs of people that keep me smiling and sometimes even laugh out loud:

Criminy Jickets
Z Knits…and Sews
KnitPastis
Schrodinger Knits
Knittypants
LollyKnitting Around
brooklyntweed
Annie Knits
hpnyknits
The A.D.D. Knitter
FiddlesticKnitting
haphazard knitter
sockprøn
and of course, tiennie knits

If you haven’t checked out these great knitters, please take the time. There are just tons more, and I appreciate all the wonderful posts and projects that make up our little (really quite huge) community.

There are lots and lots of projects I’m working to get off the needles in the coming weeks, and still more things I’ll be starting for PS and more. Here’s to a happy and fullfilling New Year.

Oh yeah, and hope you enjoy the new design!! I’ve wanted a total redesign of the blog for a long time, but have no major web skills to figure out all the functionality of it. So HUGE thanks to a certain boyfriend/web developer, who took my ideas and whipped them into this great layout in record speed last night. Hope you all like it!

    Your blog looks amazing! I always struggle with the look of my blog and just end up using Typepad’s templates. They’re not bad, but not original and not very inspiring. Oh well! Did you use FD’s flickrtoys to make your mosaic? it looks great!
