In the meantime, I thought I’d share a few updates! I had the MOST fun at the Paper… Continue reading

fall/winter 2013: moon pulls
The ideas that came together to form Moon Pulls have been bouncing around in my head since the beginning of this year. On a quick trip to Iceland just after Christmas, I picked up some Lopi in a few beautiful colors. I wasn’t sure exactly what I was going to make with those skeins of… Continue reading

fall/winter 2013: nikoline
Next up in my series of posts about the F/W pieces is Nikoline! These socks feel particularly old-fashioned to me, and that’s probably the result of reading a lot of Annemor Sundbø.

Meanwhile, it’s crunch time for me in getting the Paper Tiger Fall/Winter 2013 collection patterns finished and prepped for publication, and the samples ready for a photoshoot!

knitting in japan
Dispatch from Japan! I’ve been here since Tuesday, and this is mostly a vacation, but I couldn’t resist doing some yarn-related exploring while here. A few months back I read a feature in Amirisu magazine, a wonderful bilingual Japanese/English online magazine based in Japan, about new local yarn stores in Tokyo. At the top of… Continue reading
