Sweater Seaming

Tuesday, 30 October 2007 8:43 A GMT-05

On Monday we got back from a long weekend in NY, and I'm still worn out!  I dragged poor Neal to a couple of Sniffapalooza events, including a breakfast with guest speakers at Bergdorf Goodman, and another breakfast at Bond No. 9.  He w

In Stitches

Wednesday, 17 October 2007 8:15 A GMT-05
On Day Two of Stitches I took a class on reading and writing charts with JC Briar.  You all know how charts make me a little crazy, but JC's explanations and extremely well-thought-out and thorough hand-outs made them seem quite a bit less i

I saw this one recently and thought it was an interesting mix of old and new titles. Forgive the poor capitalization - I cut and pasted it and am too lazy to correct everything.  I've left lots untouched, but that's not necessarily beca

Happy October!
