About Me:: I'm the vice president of Knit Picks. Mostly, I do number crunching, merchandising planning and product development. I love that my job mixes the creative with the analytical.

I've been knitting for about 6 years, and I try to learn something new with each project - except for the little projects that keep popping up just for fun, and socks, always socks. I also love to sew, read, hike, and daydream about home improvement projects (I see a big garden in my future).

So, I am working through my lace yarn stash. I'm sorry I keep showing you all discontinued colors in my projects. About a year ago, when we put the discontinued lace yarn colors on sale, I bought a TON (while, not quite literally, but enough to keep me knitting for a long while, obviously). On the upside, this enabled us to bring in lots of new, delicious colors of lace yarn for your enjoyment!… Continue

Finished Lace

I've been traveling so much this summer that I've had time to knit a lot of lace. It's funny how I knit, knit, knit, block, and then the shawl sits for so long before I photograph it. If I was a better photographer, I might get that done sooner.

At 6:27pm on June 11th, 2008, autumnafternoon said…: Don't give up...just when you think it'll never stop raining, the sun comes out and whamo, 95+! I wish I could grow vegies...my backyard faces east so, not enough sun. At our last house I grew 7 different kinds of tomatoes, and all kinds of other vegetables in a zero-lotline backyard. I used the square foot method. Have you ever read that book or heard about it?

At 9:17pm on June 10th, 2008, autumnafternoon said…: Hiya, nice to meet you too! Oh boy, we're getting plenty of sunshine here....that's for sure. Every Spring when it's in the high 60's/low 70's, my garden is just singing...and then the 90's and 100's hit and I swear my poor plants threaten mutiny. I love to "collect" plants and so try to grow one of everything...ha ha! But really, my love is herbs; basils, thymes, oregano, dill, mints, rue, verbena, lemon balm, and so on. I also have an orange, green plum, nectarine, meyer lemon, cumquat, and pomegranite. How about you? What do you grow when the sun starts shining in your area?

At 8:34am on June 9th, 2008, Domestic Arts said…: Really? I thought that only applied to stashes--like the sock yarn stash. (Which may never get all knit up.) However, it doesn't stop me from getting new sock yarn when it comes into the shop. Winning may not be the point.

Happy Knitting.

We enjoy a lot of the same hobies...sock knitting, reading, gardening, and dreaming about future projects.

At 6:42pm on May 8th, 2008, Domestic Arts said…: Though you might like to see the socks as they are progressing. I just posted to my photos and blog. Thanks. DA
