Greetings from Ohio, where we’re in our second day of taping Knitting Daily TV. We’re pretty swamped, but I figured I’d let some photos from yesterday do the talking. If I were posting photos from today, I imagine this might be considered live blogging. But these photos are from yesterday, so. I had a...

After two years (nearly to the week), I’ve finished my Forecast sweater. This is unprecedented finishing for me: four projects in the last three weeks, two of them garments and one a blanket. My mother suggested it’s hormonal. Not sure where that came from, but I’ll take it over PMS any day. Specs: Started:...

Naptime, originally uploaded by kpwerker. I’m in a pleasant place. We’re gearing up for spring press and I’m not smelling the fear, the sun just came out, I bet when the snow finishes melting the crocuses will be peaking through, and we’re heading to the mountains for the weekend.
