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…

No, there won’t be any really bad images of Nicholas Cage in obesity appliances. This post is really about change. Rob and I have had several long talks about the issues I have with my current color consultation backlog. In an effort to ameliorate that somewhat, he’s been posting Charlotte’s Web colorways to Black Dog…

If you’ve been keeping up with Rob’s blog, then you’re probably already aware that I’ve been churning out Charlotte’s Web shawls of late. We recently hired a very talented woman who’s been helping me pull yarn for them, and with some of the chaos of the move settled (more on that later), I’ve gotten my…

Ok, folks. The Charlotte’s Web Shawl colorways recently posted are all pretty much out of stock. I might be able to come up with something similar, but we’re been inundated with orders on those specific ones, and those dye codes are all but gone. I’ll post more soon to satisfy those hungry for more. In…

Wow! You guys really liked the Charlotte’s colorways. Thanks for all the compliments. How’s this? When I have one handy that I know isn’t spoken for, I’ll just post it. If anyone wants it, be the first to write or call, and it’s yours. I won’t promise to recreate any of them (a: I don’t…

Yup. Things are just as nuts as ever, but I have had a bit of amusement. The letter to the editor of the local newspaper here in Columbus, Indiana (that would be The Republic… or The Repugnant, The Repulsive, or any number of other choice colloquialisms I’ve heard around town for those of you who…

Thanks to everyone who has expressed their support during our recent (and ongoing) zoning upheaval. The outpouring of sentiment has had me verklempt for days. (Kisses, Deb!) But believe it or nor, even with all the chaos and the ongoing business of business to keep up with, I really do occasionally get to knit a…

Sorry guys. I’m totally buried right now. I’ll be back asap! I MISS YOU!!!Matt.
