When looking back on my long trips away, it is always good to contemplate what went well and what could be improved. There are different ways of looking at success. One success for me on this trip was managing to ''Keep Calm and Weave on'' when I arrived at a destination to weave with a…
Inspiration arrived from north, south and somewhere in-between this week. First, my friend Anna who has been bicycling with her boyfriend Alistair from Alaska to Ushuaia sent me some pictures of pre-Columbian fragments in balanced double weave that she spotted on display in a cafe in El Calafate in the very south part of continental…
I ordered the new-ish Zig-Zag size 3 Herringbone weave straight from Girasol in Germany (I mistakenly thought that buying directly was a wise decision) and after weeks and weeks and weeks it finally arrived! It is so pretty and it has become Artemis’s new fave but I can’t say I’m in love with how it …
I have some dear friends who made the monumental decision to have a baby. There were medical complications but eventually, the little tyke was conceived and he arrived in the world a month and a half ago now. I love to make things for babies. Cute, soft things that I usually knit. I know that they’re mostly impractical and I assume, though I’m not a mom myself, that frazzled parents really like stuff they can throw in the washing machine. I was going to knit a beautiful blanket for this kid. I could imagine myself choosing the yarn, casting on, working away. And then I looked at my fall schedule and thought about how I was going to disappoint myself because there was no way I was going to finish the blanket I had in my head before the kid was born. Then it occurred to me. “I’m a weaver! I could absolutely weave a blanket. I’m sure it would go faster and it would be more baby-friendly.” I’m not sure why it took me so long to think of that. And in a moment of serendipity, my friends at GIST Yarn happened to send an email about a kit for a baby blanket that same day saving me the trouble of researching yarns and patterns. Bingo, it was ordered in a heartbeat. It arrived a few days later and my head was filled with visions of what a gorgeous blanket I was going to turn out. Because, after all, I’m a weaver and how hard could a plain weave blanket be?. (It is the Echo baby blanket kit and the yarn is lovely.)

A few years ago at LAX, my flight had arrived early, and I sat alone, waiting for my ride to weave through L.A traffic to pick me up. Bored, I tried to kill some time by scrolling through Facebook. I looked up just in time to see a man walking towards me. He stopped right …

A stunning, and effortlessly memorable, logo that would easily catch your eye. I really like the incredible attention to detail, brought out in the stitching effect.

No, I'm not looking for another hobby. Think of it as a remembrance of my childhood combined with a need to use up scrap yarn and a need for embellishment. Or just think of it as I wanted it. With the help of the instruction booklet, I whipped up a sample. Lesson learned: don't use…
