licorice knitting, 6.8
It’s finally the end of the school year, which means much excitement at the prospect of nurturing my own creative endeavors; with that, I wanted my last knitting class to be playful and usually that means we bring candy, cakes, and all manner of sugar-filled foods for the gobbling. Instead of just eating (there was…

student KAL, 10.8
One of my students and I are doing the Through the Loops Mystery Sock KAL together for Socktoberfest. AB is using a variegated fingering from Knit Picks, and I’m using a solid navy fingering unlabeled I had laying in my stash–this will hopefully show AB how yarn selection changes the look, feel, and mood of…

gifted, 10.1
A very happy student of mine–who I gifted her first hanks ever–showing off this beautiful new yarn she’s a proud owner of!

Any ideas for things I can do with the kids next year?…

The other day, I had some rowdy girls hanging out in my office because I have some highly coveted A/C and it was sweltering. Since they refused to focus on anything worthy like schoolwork–and I had work that needed attention–I decided to force them all into an “activity” if they were to stay and crib…

Fierce, girl: Micki’s “Rude Boy Remix”.
My knitters are whipping things up in a frenzy of late; I can attribute it partly to the skill that comes with practice, as well as the fact that we, remarkably, only have approximately 5 weeks left of schooling before summer break, and they’d like to take as much guidance with them before they are…

Phases of design…
I find it incredibly intriguing how other knitters go about designing patterns; a knitter student bee of mine came into my office the other day and asked “how do you create stuff without a pattern?” and it prompted me to really think about how I create. When I desire to knit up something that’s uniquely…
