It’s coming! It’s coming! I got a call from Taiu at Koigu this afternoon, and she was packing our box in preparation for shipment. WOOHOO! Of course, that only means that it is on its way, and it’s kind of a mixed blessing since I’ll be off to Michigan tomorrow and won’t get to play…

Me. That answer your questions? Didn’t figure, but it’s a start. Just as an addendum to Rob‘s post earlier today, I, as the other half of ThreadBear would like to point out what I see. We do deeply appreciate our clientele, and while we do have volume overloads on some things, I believe that in…

Well, at this point, I’m sure everyone has heard that we’re moving to Michigan, so I won’t dwell on that. If you haven’t heard, check out Rob‘s recent posts. As for me, I’m gearing up for the last big push before the move. I’ve put color consultations on hold until we get more Koigu in…

We had a wonderful time at TNNA with everyone, but there are definitely those moments when I just had to think of the Las Veges tourism commercial and smile. Rob and I joked about the image of the grandmotherly Asian woman writing a postcard home from Las Vegas, realizing what she’s written, then hurriedly running…

Hey, y’all. How ever’body be? Life’s finding its groove again at 703 Hutchins. My nose isn’t quite the Niagra it’s been, and Rob seems to be feeling damn-near chipper. I’ve gotten a few more preset shawl kits together at the business site, and things seem to be moving along nicely with the move. Don’t get…

You better believe it. We’re back, and the Charlottes are up. I’ve got four up now, and I’ve got several more in the bin behind me. I’ll get pictures up as quickly as I can, but it’s definitely first come–first served. There won’t be any previews, and there won’t be any holds. If you want…

It’s been a very long but quite wonderful weekend. We took an impromptu trip to Lansing to visit friends, and had a spectacular time. Sarah had been asking us to visit for a while and was kind enough not only to rearrange her entire household to make sleeping arrangements for us but also to throw…

Hmm… go figure. Me? Make a mistake? Yes, yes. I know. It surprised me, too. On my last post about Sigma decreases, I somehow got Sarah’s instructions turned around in my head. Dyslexia’s a bitch, ain’t it? Anyway, it should read as follows: Option 1: Row 1: SSK twice, k to last 4 sts, k2tog…

Anne Boyer of Charlotte’s Web Shawl fame modeling the Sigma that hangs in our shop. Amy Singer of Knitty asked me to look over a recent question on the Sigma Tank pattern that I wrote for Knitty’s Summer 2003 issue. The issue turns out to be one that has cropped up a couple of times…
