http://www.knittinginhollywood.org Knitting, designing, teaching. Some spinning too. Mon, 02 Jun 2008 18:34:28 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I do have pix for the Lady of the Forest Shawl, honest, but I simply haven't had time to post them. How do people do this every day?? Wendy posted yesterday that her nearly-5-year-old car's odometer just turned 10,000 miles. I bought my car last November -- I've had ... http://www.knittinginhollywood.org/2008/06/02/behind-or-ahead-not-sure-which/ Fixed the banner above so it's not as jaggy.  Will probably simplify more at some point, and maybe even put some, um, knitting in it, but not right now.  I need a new desktop computer.  Doing that stuff on a laptop with a touchpad is a pain. There is a FO, ... http://www.knittinginhollywood.org/2008/05/28/there-thats-a-little-better/ Simplified the banner.  It's not perfect, I did it in a hurry and I want it cleaner looking, but it's a start. Working on the Lady of the Forest shawl for my sister.  No photos.  God, I gotta find my damn camera. http://www.knittinginhollywood.org/2008/05/24/getting-fresh/ I just joined the 2008 Summer of Socks. Now I have to keep this blog up. Jeez, I need a new banner. Suddenly that thing looks really tacky. No, I haven't posted much. Because I haven't knitted much. In like, three years. Especially the last ... http://www.knittinginhollywood.org/2008/05/05/now-i-gotta-post/ Look at this.  It’s almost an entire year since I’ve posted.  Fucking ridiculous. The main reason is I haven’t been knitting.  I realized recently that I have not completed one single thing this year, 2007.  Not one. So I started the Lady of the Forest Shawl, using some Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted ... http://www.knittinginhollywood.org/2007/08/24/no-im-not-dead/ Francesca posted a comment last evening, but she had to post it to my last entry dated July 24 because I'm such a slug. My spinning guild sponsored a support spindling workshop yesterday with Gwen Powell, one of the founding members of the guild. We learned some basic tips on ... http://www.knittinginhollywood.org/2006/09/03/okay-okay-ill-update/ It's been so freakin' hot here in Tinsel Town that I've been sleeping on my none-too-comfortable couch, because my -- I mean my landlady's -- antique air conditioner only cools the living room. Last week I'd had enough and ordered, at far greater expense than a normal air conditioner ... http://www.knittinginhollywood.org/2006/07/24/i-guess-we-all-need-a-spiritual-exercise/ I just received notification that my new "knitting teacher" business cards are shipping from vistaprint.com. They have the url of this blog on them. So I figured I should resuscitate it. No photos; I'm at work. Yes, work. I'm temping at a law firm, back at the ... http://www.knittinginhollywood.org/2006/07/13/shes-baaaack/ I've been knitting, but it's been projects I'm designing for the March 1 issue Spindlicity, of which I am the Knitting Editor. So I can't show you here. But I can give a few hints: I'm working with handspun yarn. Some is my own, some is our editor ... http://www.knittinginhollywood.org/2006/01/31/hush-hush/ I spent last week in Valyermo, California, at St. Andrew's Monastery, participating in the "Visionary Retreat: Self-Publishing for Knit Designers" given by Cat Bordhi. Besides Cat, attendees included: Lorna Miser, creator and former owner of Lorna's Laces hand-dyed yarns; Myrna Stahman, author of Stahman's Shawls ... http://www.knittinginhollywood.org/2006/01/16/retreat-advance/
