Just popping in to show you how messy my house is…
Messiness of my house aside, I’m excited to announce that we’re shooting more knitting videos. Lots more short technique videos, and at least three more full lesson series – including toe-up socks and magic loop socks. Now that we’ve worked out the kinks and we’re old hats at this, everything is going so smoothly and quickly. (Except when production was halted for two days while I was sick.)
Parker is working like a madman to edit the videos soon after they’re shot, so I should be able to start posting them soon.
A big POO ON YOU to the United States Postal Service…
I knit this dog sweater to custom fit a handsome Basenji in Houston named Strider. His human, Lorelei, commissioned it back when the temperatures were below freezing. I knit it up and sent it off in a Priority Mail box on February 9. Here we are, March 5, and Lorelei has not received the sweater.
I’ve been around and around with the Post Office on this for the last three weeks. They finally told me this week that they can do NOTHING. Poof. It’s gone. I am now knitting a second sweater for Strider, and you can bet that I will pay the extra few bucks for delivery confirmation.
I don’t want to end on a negative vibe, so here’s a sneak peek at a new sweater design I edited/knit for my friend Snowden –
Snowden is working through sweater math for all of the sizes, and should be ready to release the pattern soon. I’ll keep you posted.
I am glad you are back. I can’t wait for the new sock videos. I tried for years to knit socks but I couldn’t do it until I found your videos. You explain things so nicely and make it easy for even me–a very visual learner–to understand the process. Thanks for all the help. Love the dogs too–kudos to your for fostering them and finding good homes for them.
Yeah you came back. I was about to start checking the price or tickets to Austin. I guess I could have just called the Knitting Nest to see if you were there. It was more fun to think of going to warmer place.
Snowden’s designs are gorgeous, aren’t they? I’m glad to see you’re feeling better! *hugs*
I had some issues with the USPS myself lately. I thought there was so much LESS mail going through the system~you would think it would be a little easier on them.
Have a great weekend.
Yay! More sock videos! I’m looking forward to them. :o)
I just watched all your videos. Thank you so much for posting them!! They are wonderful and your voice is pleasant and great to listen to. I will be buying a tutorial from you when I am ready.
I so appreciate it, thanks again!
