We’re having a lot of fun over in the Ravelry testing pool trying out the new Fairies and Flowers Scarf with various yarns and color combinations. How neat is it that the Ravelry name of one of the knitters is faeriesandpixies. Thanks to her, I also found out that my fairy name is Tangle Goblinwand. What is [...]]]></description>

In tribute to Canada Day on July 1, which marks another birthday for Canada, I wanted to share some fun facts I gathered while developing my knitting pattern for &#8220;Lace Maple Leaf Socks&#8220;.

Many historians believe the maple leaf first served as a Canadian symbol around 1700. The maple tree was a vital resource for Canada&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

At the TNNA Show last June, Kreinik&#8217;s Creative Director Dena Lenham introduced me to their new Metallic Fashion Twist Thread. It&#8217;s a strong thread that is primarily intended for use in embroidery sewing machines. This unique thread is made of 100% polyester with a liminate of silver. The softness of the thread (so many metallics [...]]]></description>

My new patterns showcasing Symphony Kid Lace with Beads &#38; Glitter will be arriving in stores this week! This has been a very satisfying set of projects to design with this lovely yarn, and Tracy at Tilli Tomas is such a delight to work with.

I took off for a good part of the summer &#8212; Mainly it was to escape the excrutiating high temperatures and &#62; 90% humidity, so our trips took us to the Colorado rockies in July (mildly cool and only 16% humidity &#8211; yay!) and to Vancouver, WA in August (fortunately just missed the heat wave; [...]]]></description>

I was off to a great start in 1996 with my idea for the vest. Then when most [...]]]></description>
