Just over 2 years ago I finished my first knitting clothing item – a pretty simple, raglan cardi. I was delighted with my accomplishment, and the sweater was super pretty… except that it didn’t quite fit. It didn’t close completely over the chest, and the…
My friends, Johnathan and Beverly, are the cutest couple. Picture them digging through, not only a tub of yarn, but a tub of alpaca, looking for a skein of not only sock weight, but a skein in turquoise. Every time I think of Johnathan up…
What’s cuter than a couple where one of them is 5 foot 2 and the other is 6 foot 7? Matching hats, that’s what. Johnathan is sporting his Johnathan hat (yes, designed for him :)) and Bev is wearing her new Pasha by Jane Richmond, which…
So we drove to NYC on the weekend (more on that later) and I was looking for a good knitting project to take up the time. Tito had just received his first pair of socks and he was lovin’ em. So, glumly, I went to…

I was admiring my socks (and how they feel in Crocs… oh, the cushiness…) and I was thinking perhaps I had enjoyed them quite enough and they were due for a wash. This got me thinking ‘what the hell was in that yarn anyway?’ which…
My mom and I are both 5 foot 2. She may actually be 5 foot nothin’, but the fact remains that we are both small. One day she was chatting with Tito and I, and she dropped this gem: ‘Because short things come in important…
