A Month In Photos
KOIA (who, BTW, hasn’t blogged since the summer of 2009), added a post to my Facebook wall last week asking why I haven’t updated the blog in a while. Well, I have a nice bullet list, complete with photos, to explain why.
• I was in Denver for a week for work.
See, I have the shopping bags to prove it.
• I turned around and went to California for 5 crazy days of Disneyland and cheer competition.
• While I was in California, I made the 54-mile, 5-hour round trip to LA from Anaheim to visit my son who attends college in LA. As an added bonus, I got a free golf lesson.
• I made three shop samples for the LYS where I teach classes.
• I wrote up the pattern for the sock-weight version of Fog Lifter and knit another sample. So the Bambino sample joins her ShibuiKnits sister. Watch for the pattern next week.
• I’ve been diligently (not) working on writing up the pattern for another scarf that I first knit last summer! Yikes. It made a brief appearance at Sock Summit and hasn’t been heard from since. I think it’s time to revive it. What do you think?
• And I’m working on a super secret project that I can only show you a peek of.
If I tell you more, I’ll have to kill you.

OMG is that really you! You have been one busy bee. It’s about time you started publishing the patterns you designed over the last year. Fog Lifter is one of my all time favorites.
Busy busy busy! And it all looks awesome, too.
Wow! You’ve been busy. Love it all!
You’ve been busy! Gorgeous designs and knitting, as always.
What pattern is that third store sample!? I love it!!
What have you been up to? Oh, so not *much* then!
I look forward to the sock-weight version of Fog Lifter being available soon
You slacker
No way! I was at Disney at the same time. Wish I had known. It would have been fun to meet you.
Hi, I really like that blue scarf with the wavy columns. I’m probably missing where you mentioned it, but can you tell me what pattern you used? Thanks!
Ha! I love the opening to this post. You certainly have been a busy little beaver (does anyone say that anymore?). Can’t wait to see the surprise. Just love surprises.
I love the knitting, but I think the golf lesson may be my favorite part
After reading about your month I would be embarrassed to post about mine. It is amazing what you accomplish.
aww, you should have told us you’d be in town!
(also, the disneyland-LA drive only takes 45 minutes if you’re not traveling during rush hour. i know. i did it last saturday at 5:30AM and then back at 9AM.)
Love all the stoles and shawls! I also would like the pattern names. You have been very busy.
Jaaaaaaa, BUSY! You do such beautiful work. XO
Yikes! But busy living life is better than busy blogging.
Laurie’s right! I do love that Fog Lifter and the Wavy Shawl.
Indeed, you are knitting as fast as you can! I need to go lay down just reading about all your fun activities. Love the foglifter pattern!
LOL too funny. I had been checking your blog as well and wondering if you had caught a bug or something. At least you were out having a great time and not sick at home! Your patterns look great! Can’t wait to have one of my own.
Glad to see you found Savory Spice, it’s such a fabulous place. Almost as much fun as a yarn store, although less guilt, as you can use up the treasures purchased there a bit faster.
What a whirlwind! The places you’ve been, the things you’ve knit… fabulous. So much fun.
W.O.W. You HAVE been busy and very productive!! I really love your patterns!
I love the Sock Summit scarf – and have some cashmere that would be perfect…
oooh purty
That sock summit scarf is seriously beautiful! Reminds me so much of the LEAF AND ACORN LACE SCARF by Shui Kuen Kozinski
Are you selling the pattern?
Beautiful and Busy!
Lovely angora stole!
I’m looking forward to the Fog Lifter pattern. I love your designs!
Hope you made it to Shuttles, Spindles and Skeins while you were in Boulder! It is definitely one of my favorite knitting stores.
Isn’t Fancy Tiger fun? I only make it over there rarely, but it’s as much fun listening to the conversations as browsing. Would you please write up that luscious fuzzy wrap? It may be the answer to a problem I have. Also, what is that really cool wavy thing being blocked?
P.S. Etherknitter’s Foglifter sent me here.
Okay. Am I a terrible blog-slacker? Yes, I am. Are you a busy, busy woman? Yes, this is also undeniable. But in my defense, your honor, I said what I said only because I so love to see what you are up to! Whenever I think about blogging (which is frequent), I simply do not think people are very much interested in what I am doing. But this is clearly not the case in your case. Anyway, thanks for the lovely update.
well you have been doing great things – i would nto stress too much if i were you:)
So where are you now? Miss reading your blog. Oh! And I made sure I had some new entries before I sent this comment LOLOLOLOL!
I’m SO behind in blog reading. Must do better! I’m glad I came back just when you did. Such fabulous projects – knitting and otherwise.
Love the mesh bag!!!
I also would LOVE to know the wavy shawl pattern. Are you going to release this? Woo Hoo it’s beautiful!
You have a great site. I would like to know if you could send me the barbie pattern you knitted the one with a high collar and short sleeves. It is hard here in Canada to find patterns for barbie my granddaughter would love it. Please thank you. I hope to hear from you.
