About Me:

I'm the newest member of the Knitpicks Design Team! I've been knitting since I was a little girl, I knit English, love wool, and used metal needles until our Zephyrs came out and I was finally reunited with my first needle love, acrylic! (yes, it's true.) I look forward to getting to know you all!

Fraternal Twins

For some reason, I'm rebelling against my summer knitting.

Last weekend, I didn't want to work on my socks, or my lace, or my cotton tshirt projects. They all require concentration that I didn't have, and trying to work on them just felt tedious and frustrating. So I cast on for a… Continue

Finally Done!

With my City Tweed Sweater, that is!

I'm very, very happy with this piece. What else can I say? It was a long project, but enjoyable at every step of the way, the yarn is luscious, the sweater is warm, but thanks to the lace patterning, not stifling, and I'm wearing it today even tho… Continue

I finished the sleeves for my Oblique, finally!

I can't wait to start on my first sweater once my Christmas knitting is done - its my incentive to keep on track! My plan is to use City Tweed but in DK since I am in GA... so far the Comfy Cardigan is my pattern of choice.

Thank you so much for the help for the Little Bubbles sweater. That is exactly what I was doing wrong. I have never had to M1 increase that way before.
Now I can knit on.
Thanks Again,
Terah

Thanks for responding so quickly. I realize that the KP crew has been extremely busy, what with all the "new" stuff you are offering, new KALs, new colors and weights of yarn. I'll keep my eye out for the pattern. Susan

Has KP put the Little Bubbles Set pattern on the webpage yet. I've been watching for it, and have ordered my yarn. I was just curious when it would be available.

thanks, Susan

At 4:26pm on February 28, 2009, Susan the Blue Lake Knitter said…: I just noticed the new face on the staff page. Welcome to KP - though a little late. Hope you enjoy this as much as everyone else seems to. I've only been knitting a few years, but love it. I just started learning to spin, and am inspired by the variety of projects, yarn and ideas presented by KP.

Again, Welcome!
