At least the beginning of a bonanza… I’m very excited to start the release of the knitting videos we shot last month! In the two posts below, you’ll see a video in each. The first one, “Correcting a Color-Change Jog” shows you how to make your stripes look even while working in the round. The […]

I’m getting ready to release new knitting videos, and there are a lot of them. That means rearranging things on verypink in a way that makes sense, and uses WordPress’ organizing system. This will be messy here until I figure out what I’m doing and implement that plan. In the meantime, here is a photo […]

This has been the norm for my bedroom for the last several days: I’m washing and reblocking all of the handknits I wore this winter. Then I will carefully wrap each one in tissue paper and store them in a bin until next fall. Wow, right? I’m so responsible and I take such good care […]

(If you haven’t read why I have a resolution to lose weight, you’re missing the most interesting part of the story.) Here’s what’s happening so far: In […]

If you’ve been following the Pona story, you know that he’s been a foster dog here at my house since September. Pona came into the Basenji Rescue system after he had been hit by a car and was picked up by Animal Control. He had a broken femur, broken tooth, heartworms, whipworms, and scratches and […]
