the drawing board

When my rate of posting begins to wane, you can best believe that all matters of creative things are happening behind the scenes…

Thought despite my busy-ness, for the life of me I can’t seem to see one project from muse to fruition without meandering off somewhere into knitting never-never-land…that place where the creative type within tends to stumble upon from time to time…where one project leads to another, and alas! a variation on a theme. And in my case in particular, the next thing I know…mittens multiply like bunnies and a melange of finishing techniques are tacked to a wall next to a colorful assortment of swatches, all illustrating the simple yet very important concept of yarn dominance.

*sigh*

I anxiously await a free day that I might sit about and catch up with my knitting basket, and otherwise entertain my various whims, as I am itching to line a pair of already soft mittens with even softer Kid Silk Haze(!) and rework a patten for my LYS that just didn’t sing to me the way I wish it would have on the first go-around.

p.s. I also seek to create a doppelganger, if anyone is privy, so that she could work my 9-5 while I stay at home and knit : )

Such lovely cosy photos! Your pictures always make me want to curl up by the fire – quite something given that it’s 25 degrees here (almost tropical, for London), heh. Bar harbor tea looks lovely – i spent a few days there a couple of summers ago and went biking in Acadia national park, so fun! I love reading about your creative process and seeing what you come up with – mittens sound highly exciting!
PS you know, you could always knit yourself a doppelganger …

Those mittens have stolen my heart already! I hope that you’ll be releasing that pattern.
