I made an excellent discovery over the weekend. I was listening to KSYM, the local community college radio station, which as far as I can tell is the only station in town that is manned by djs. I know that the other stations really do have people sitting in the booths, but they [...]
The Cecilia Kufi prototype is a failure.

I think my problem is that the fiber I was using, a 80/20 cotton/wool blend, was too [...]
Here’s a second self portrait showing my current fuzziness. I think I look a little less scary this way.
It occurred to me after the fact that taking this in black and white makes it harder to discern what those lumps on either side of me are. Those are all the currently in-progress projects [...]
I created a new hat this weekend. It is a combination of Gina’s Kufi Recipie and the Marsan Watchcap. I hope the respective creators don’t mind me appropriating their designs. I added a little beadwork to dandy it up.

Don’t see the jacket in that strip yet? Just wait.
I’m working on a patter from “The Knit Stitch” by Sally Melville.
Update 3/24/2003:
Sorry, that’s “pattern”. I’m working on a “pattern”, not a patter. My verbal skills could use some [...]
At long last - here’s a photo of the Aran sweater. See, I haven’t just been sitting around idle.
I’ve been sitting around KNITTING!
The little beaded leather thingies at the bottom are the knitting abacuses (abaci?)
