If I said I was in a bit of a funk after returning home from camp it would be an understatement. I had a cold (which I’m now getting over), I was back at work (nothing more to say, work is work), New York was hot (have I mentioned how much I hate the summer), [...]

Definitely Love
Posted in Aran Coat, Elizabeth Zimmermann, Knitting camp, Meg Swansen, Sweaters on July 27, 2008 | 13 Comments »
Stick a fork in it, she’s done. Right before I left for camp I’d been on an emotional roller coaster ride with this thing. Loving it, then feeling like I totally screwed it up, then loving it again. But after “show and tell” at camp, it’s definitely love.
I can’t tell you how excited and nervous I [...]
A Celebration
Posted in Elizabeth Zimmermann, Knitting camp, Meg Swansen on July 22, 2008 | 8 Comments »
…of Camp (35 years), of Schoolhouse Press (50 years), of knitting and of friends. I don’t know what I did more this weekend, enjoy all that I was learning or the company of such wonderful women.
Kim and Jessica deep in discussion (agreeing and disagreeing) over the perfect colors.
When Meg speaks, it’s needless to say we are all rivoted. Even [...]
Last Full Day
Posted in Elizabeth Zimmermann, Knitting camp on July 20, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Today is the last full day of camp. We have class in the morning, break for lunch, show and tell in the afternoon, hang out and knit until dinner, then more knitting in the evening. Last night we were up until 1am…and I honestly wasn’t that tired (but then my head hit the pillow…) That may sound [...]
Today Is The Day
Posted in Uncategorized on July 17, 2008 | 6 Comments »
The host of my blog, WordPress.com, does a very strange thing with date stamping posts. If you post after 9pm it will show up with the following day’s date. So even though I’m writing this Wednesday night at 10:40pm it will say I’m posting it tomorrow, Thursday and you all know where I’ll be on [...]
2 Days To Go
Posted in Uncategorized on July 15, 2008 | 8 Comments »
And Camp 2 starts. I started packing over the weekend and I’m keeping things as simple and light as possible. I refuse to check in any bags since I’m scared they will be lost. The fun of having a stop in Chicago. Last year I was thanking the heavens that I had all my stuff with [...]
Fork? Spoon? Knife?

I was in the mood for a bit of silliness and came across this…
You Are Chopsticks
People see you as exotic, unusual, and even a bit intimidating.
You are a difficult person to figure out.In truth, you try to live a very simple life.
But most people are too frenzied to recognize the beauty of your simplicity.
What [...]
Definitely Gum Surgery!
Posted in Uncategorized on July 11, 2008 | 8 Comments »
I definitely prefer gum surgery over steeking any day. I do recognize the endless benefits but it almost killed me. I haven’t been that nervous since I was 13 and told my mum I stayed over a friend’s house and there were no parents home, just my friend’s older sister…Can you say sweating? I was [...]
Great Weekend
Posted in Aran Coat, Food on July 7, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Hope everyone had a happy, relaxing and safe 4th of July weekend. I wanted to get a post up for the 4th but it just didn’t happen. I actually spent that evening downtown at 60th Street and York Ave watching fireworks with some very generous members of the NYPD, YFD and some [...]
