I walked another few miles while watching “My First Socks” through Lesson 3. First, how adorable is Lucy Neatby? Top of the scale, right? She is covered with color, for one thing, from her hair to her clothing. I can’t see below her waist, because of the desk, but I’ll bet my stash that she […]
My hip is getting stronger, and I am walking without pain, now. So, it is time to get ready to run. I’m starting out slowly, walking on the treadmill. This seemed a great opportunity to take some Craftsy classes. Watching great teachers makes me a better teacher, and I don’t get to take classes anymore, […]
The past few days have found me at the Village Yarn and Fiber shop, home of Dizzy Sheep and his groupies. I taught in the afternoon and evenings, and Wednesday night we had a party and lots of the Dizzy groupies who helped with the book were there, and I signed lots and lots of […]
I would like to thank the students, vendors and staff of Stitches East 2014 for an amazing show. It seemed that I was busy every minute, either teaching, visiting or signing books (sometimes all at once!), so I may not have properly expressed by gratitude and appreciation at the time. My classes were all full or […]
Here is a run-down of my week – an overview, because lots happened and there will be more details later on specific things I ‘ve been working on Craftsy filming – Such a great experience, and I thank everyone at Craftsy central who helps make my dreams come true. I loved preparing and presenting this […]
Finding the time to knit is a constant problem for professional knitters. There is so much to do, and so little time to do it. It’s true for all knitters, but at least if it isn’t a job, you are in control of what you knit and how long you take to finish. When you […]
Life is different, now. Not only is “Annetarsia Knits” finished, it is out there, all around the world, and people like it! I’m thrilled that everyone (so far) thinks my baby book is beautiful, valuable, and fun to have around. I love autographing books, wrapping them up and taking them to the post office – […]
Last night we had a party at For Yarn’s Sake. Apparently this happens every Tuesday evening, it is called Knit Chat and anyone can come. For those who haven’t been attending, we have been missing out! It’s hard to beat a beautiful, well-stocked yarn store, hospitable hosts, and engaging guests for a good time. The […]
Now that “Annetarsia Knits” is getting into knitters hands, it is time to re-work my class list to reflect my take on the intarsia technique. I have been working for months on developing new classes. I want to strike a good balance between taking knitters to another level, and not intimidating knitters who have not […]
Yep, taking care of the ends was about a 10 minute job. I got it done at the office, while waiting for all of the computers to boot up. There is a little pile of ends to show for it. Although I haven’t knit the thumb yet, and it still needs to be blocked, I […]
