I hadn't been to the Knitting Factory in years -- so long that in the interim, they closed that 'new' location and opened a Brooklyn venue instead. The openers were I Fight Dragons , who played 'real' instruments as well as various Nintendo controllers (beeping from the standard gamepads, as well as a Power Glove and Power Pad, and Rock Band guitar). The 5 men all wore superhero t-shirts, and the woman...

There has been a decided lack of current knitting progress here lately, have you noticed? That’s because I’ve been doing some stealth knitting this week. I did start my second Diamond Lace sock — see? That’s what it looked like on Sunday, and that’s what it looks like today. But I ought to be able to return [...]

OK, so I'm up off my death bed. Only just, mind you. I doubt I'll be running a marathon in the next while, but at least I can function again. And, I can knit again! Yay! It was horrible to be separated from my friend the knitting needle for so long. I felt bereft and empty. I found this pic on my camera of the Liberty Bell Afghan all parcelled up and ready to go in the house in Florida for my sister...

Saho Nogi, Editor of Needleprint Nihon, has written the following blog for us: When I was a child, my mother showed me a Sennin-bari and told me the story of the women who made the knots. I have always remembered it - and what it stands for. Sennin-bari is needlework which once existed in Japanese war history. Based upon the Shinto beliefs of Imperial Japan, it originates back to the Sino-Japanese...

Thank you for your support in my endeavours to be AT ONE with the wonkiness! Actually, I got so excited by the garland made for Emma, that I made a similar one for my niece's 21st Birthday with yet more RAW EDGES. There is LIBERATION in the wonky and raw and unfinished.... If, like me, you are a slave to the PRECISE then do have a go with the garland, or indeed any other creation which allows you to...
