Knitting and Publishing

A new year and new projects—I'm focusing on publishing patterns and maybe even books this year. I hope to chronicle some of my experiences in that effort on my larger blog. One of my January posts there is about publishing a book by another knitting designer at this LINK.

Christmas Stockings

I've been knitting Christmas stockings for grandsons. Do take a look at this LINK in the mid-December 2009 posts to see two of them. I used Kraemer Sterling Silk & Silver. It is Merino wool, silk, nylon, and sterling silver, fine sock yarn. The one pictured here has a dragon like the Welsh flag since it is going to Wales.

Love Blanket

Fifteen knitters started this project the first week of October. The finished love blanket was presented to our friend, Gloria, this week. The center block is a square replica of the round labyrinth in New Harmony, Indiana. Select this LINK for more about this project.

DKG Photo Album

The Photo Album for the 2009 Dayton Knitting Guild spring knitting retreat at Bergamo has been added to the DKG site. To browse the three-page album, select this LINK.

Knitting up a storm...

I'm teaching another knit-to-fit sweater class at Sarah Jane's Yarn Shop this month. I also have a men's vest class starting next week. In my spare time, when I'm not working my day job, I'm getting a program ready for our annual knitting pilgrimage to New Harmony. I'll post photos next month when that project is ready.

Cabeled Vest

This vest was knitted in the round as a pull over using four skeins of Cascade Yarns’ Lana d’Oro (50% superfine alpaca, 50% wool). I’m teaching a man’s vest class at Sarah Jane’s Yarn Shop this fall and have adapted this pattern for that event. To view full image and read more, select this LINK.
