Good Things


There are so many good things lately that I have been very happy and excited about...

First of all.. on a personal note.. our little guy is now 2 months old and is all smiles these days.


Just a smiling face sitting atop a pair of shoulders. No neck in sight. :)


Aside from that, I've felt re-enthused about my knitting and have been working on a new design!


Squishy elegant cables are always a treat.

Also. I am planning out a trip to Santa Clara, California at the end of February because I am going to be a vendor at Stitches West again this year! The neckless baby and I will be sharing a booth again with Lisa Sanchez from Becoming Art. Crazy? Yes, probably. But it will be fun.

See.. so many good things.

I was going through a little NNK withdrawal yesterday and happened to listen to the podcast where you talked about Stitches West and your insane pattern preparations. I hope this time is a lot calmer for you. Happy knitting!

What a beautiful baby!! When mine was that age he had no neck too. Course he also had no eyebrows... Actually he kinda still doesn't have eyebrows.

I can't wait to see your new design it looks like it's right up my alley! ♥

Delightful ... baby, new design, and your upcoming travels!

A babywrap, Alana!
I used it all the time when I was on fairs and had my baby with me.
I just wrapped her around my body and I sold more than other years. It's a perfect attraction for people too :p
Just invest in a babywrap... not only for the fair. ;) it's awesome to carry your child around :)

wait. wait. you're coming to stitches and bringing the baby?! I wasn't even going to stitches. And, I don't think a baby needs a neck when they are that cute. Just sayin'

Alana, so very glad things have calmed down and you are able to enjoy that precious little boy and come up with more patterns for me to buy and knit. It was a great pleasure to meet you last year and it would be fantastic to say hello to you again. Hope to see you real soon.
