there were two more stops on our alaska journey—the first was skagway, our northernmost port. it was a really dreary day when we pulled in but i was excited because we had plans to meet up with kim3’s son rex, who is working there for the summer. we had set a time and place to meet […]

i had intended to just continue from the other day with a photo tour of the next leg of our alaska trip, but we were surprised on thursday by the release of the fall interweave knits anniversary issue—exciting because it includes my new design, edmonia shawl, which is knit in bare naked wools stone soup fingering […]
are you hot? i am—the temperatures here have been pretty warm this summer, hitting the low 90s most days and compounded by super high humidity. fortunately i had a nice break from the heat when i taught knitting on an alaska cruise during the last week of july. i can’t even express how wonderful it was to […]
