I am one of those people that hate to swatch. So, I am glad you don't mind it, because I love your designs! Looking forward to the new book, and best wishes to you.

Your designs are so lovely and well constructed. You seem to whip through your knitting so quick. Could you do a post on your knitting method at some point? I have been knitting for 7 years but feel like I'm still quite slow only producing maybe 10 knits (mostly small gloves, cowls, etc) each year. How do you balance family, work, and knitting and manage to produce so many beautiful knits?<br /><br />Happy New Year!<br /><br />SaraSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850964042716865380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4099017900459007016.post-19186262799223220072013-01-03T07:14:18.431-08:002013-01-03T07:14:18.431-08:00I love seeing other designers' creative proces...I love seeing other designers' creative process!
