First fit check of fall. I like to see the sweater in motion before I attach the lining and weave in ends. There’s a crazy long tail hanging off this sweater. My design, in Noro Saiun, lined in alpaca. Bring on the cooler weather!

Another sad August anniversary. Fourteen years since Piccolo’s death. She was the most beautiful of all my dogs. Piccolo loved the Man.

May 4 is Annabel’s Gotcha Day! Four years of companionship! She’s quite different from her early days with me. It took some time to get her trust, and I had moments when I thought things wouldn’t work out, but here we are. Sweater muse and funny companion. She’s wearing a sweater designed and knit by me, in Brooklyn Tweed Tones (sadly discontinued) in 1999 stripes that matches a sweater in my wardrobe.

May the Fourth be with you. My first dog, Yoda. I don’t have many photos of her, sadly.

Some weekend personal knitting. This is a kit for Awilda by , purchased from , as a birthday gift. Oh my goodness this yarn. It’s fantastic. I’m past all the color work. I went rogue with the neckband and picked up the stitches. Just randomly a tutorial for a welt showed up on my feed, so here it is. FYI, just randomly again, an excellent tutorial on welted neckbands from You Tube channel appeared in my feed after I had bound off this neckband. I think there will be more welts in my future.

Getting to work on a pattern rewrite. I started working on this book in 2006. I have progressed as a knitter and hopefully, a writer. Doggie Knits has been out of print since 2016, so I’m hoping that the improved patterns will find a new audience. I’m in need of a tech editor, so if my followers know anyone, please reach out.
