After I emerged from my paper on language theory, I took a class at Webs on color theory. I'm sorry to say it was pretty elementary stuff. Building a color wheel, learning some basic terms (prim...

I don't know what has gotten into me, posting three times in one week. Maybe I'm inspired by the NaBloPoMo participants? Or maybe it's that there are some exciting things happening. First one: L...

So I mentioned Fashion Plates in my last post and I've had a few questions about long sleeves on the Gallery Jacket . It was absolutely meant to be long-sleeved! I was basically trying to recrea...

The first Gallery Jacket ! Is it vain if I say that I think it's freaking adorable? Julie is right, you can style it a million ways...it was difficult to pick one way to show it in the catalog to...

Yeesh, October is crazy! I have let a backlog of events, purchases, etc. pile up and now I'm a little overwhelmed by it all. Here are a few highlights from Rhinebeck , I'll tackle Stitches East i...

The other day I finally had a tattoo touched up that I'd been meaning to fix for...oh...12 years now. Yes, that means I was 13 when I got this tattoo, my first. I was living in Germany and went w...

FIRST of all, thank you so much for the lovely comments on the Gallery Jacket ! Sheffield has arrived and it is quite beautiful. I can't wait to see how the pattern works out for people. The gar...

Phew, I can post a finished object! The new Valley Yarns catalog is in the store which means it's also making its way to everyone on the mailing list. In it you'll find the sweater I mentioned i...

Is this thing on? I disappeared! And I didn't even know it but the last post I made (on August 13th) was my 100th post, at least at this blog address. Cool. I've been busy with moving and grad ...

My socks arrived ! Green lace, just like the socks I knit for my pal ! My pal? Perhaps you've heard of her: Yes, THE Alison Hansel , author of Charmed Knits , founder of Sockapalooza , all ...

UPDATE: They arrived! My pal originally gave me carte blanche and when I investigated her site I found that she is a prolific, generous sock knitter! I inquired about her preferences and she sai...

Yesterday was almost TOO exciting! Kathy and I were talking about being mini-bloggers in a world of blog superstars. That prompted me to go and check my stats (I used Statcounter ) which is alwa...

Is anyone else in a total Potter stupor? Book 7 made me feel like re-reading the entire series, which I've started. I'd already been heavily skimming the older books in anticipation of July's Pot...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Book Seven... It took 24 hours and it was entirely beautiful. I want to re-read everything. I hope you all enjoy your Hallows experience as much as I did....

I am still without photodock, so no photos can be uploaded. The battery life is pulling one of those biblical stretches of longevity, I'm trying to avoid creating too much of a backlog for myself...

http://skrillaknits.blogspot.com/2007/07/welcome-to-linkland.html

So I left my camera charger/USB stuff at my mother's. And I kinda refuse to make pictureless posts. I'm actively trying to improve my picture snapping skills for the sake of the blog. Jenna and ...

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments about the hat! 100% of the praise belongs to Kathy for writing such a flattering pattern--NOT easy to do when it comes to hats, esp. berets. I'm d...

Okay, sorry for the punny title but I couldn't help it, I love puns! I'm up late playing around with new Interweb tools after spending most of the day laptopless (I reformatted, all by myself--E...

I've been knitting a lot lately. If this semester was about collecting yarn this summer is about knitting it up. I find it hard to sleep in the summer so late-night/early A.M. knitting is the nam...

Thank you to everyone who purchased yarn from my destashing sale! I still have quite a bit of good stuff if you're looking for some cheap stash enhancement. I've cast on some new projects. Don'...

EDITED TO ADD: Chloe, the yarn is yours, I just need some contact info! Unless this is Chloe who I know in real life. Please comment again or email me =) I'm destashing! I think I've got some re...

Remember when I was going to not buy any yarn in 2007? Well, as you can probably already surmise, I "forgot" about my oath promptly after I made it. Last weekend I moved and came close to weepin...
