I have a theory as to how I might wind up with fewer UFOs and more finished objects, and I have Frank here to help me illustrate this theory.

Admittedly, my buddy Frank illustrates the theory a bit better when you can get some more… perspective.

Frank is knit from Anna Hrachovec’s pattern Tiny Hot Dog found [...]

In 2003, I saw the Dogosaurus Rex sweater on the cover of the Patons book Another Dog’s Life. I thought it was the coolest thing, and I vowed that one day I would learn to knit and I would make that dog sweater.

I learned to knit, but I didn’t make the dog sweater. Then I [...]

A few nights ago I dreamed that the seamstress who is sewing ribbon around the edge of my wedding veil showed me the turquoise ribbon she was using and it was WAY TOO GREEN, and I was upset. This dream is tantamount to a sign saying WELCOME TO CRAZYVILLE. POPULATION: YOU.

I’ve known about KnitEast Atlantic Fibre Fest for a very long time, but it took quite a while before I registered for any classes. For once, I had a good reason other than simple procrastination: I am getting married twelve days before KnitEast starts. Even though we are having a small wedding, it does mean [...]

Well, that was an awfully long hiatus to go on without planning it. The first couple of months can be attributed to my general laziness, but I’ve been experiencing extreme fatigue since September, which didn’t leave me with much spare time, or at least not much spare time in which I was conscious. (As a [...]

The 2010 Knitting Olympics kick off in just over an hour, and I’m competing this year. I intended to take part in the first Knitting Olympics in 2006, but I wound up in the hospital when the Olympics began and was not allowed to bring sharpthings with me.
Oops.

In 17 days, these two balls of yarn [...]
