Random Fiber Ramblings: my fingerless gloves

http://sanityknit.blogspot.com/2004/12/my-fingerless-gloves.html

And other assorted hooey. Sunday, December 12, 2004. This is the "prototype" pair - I'm really pretty proud of these. I tried several patterns, and they all pretty much sucked bilge water, so I designed my own. :-) I made them with Briggs and Little Canadian Regal from Schoolhouse Press. I used size 3 dpns. I'm trying to write down the pattern as I knit them, but it seems that I'm the only one that understands the directions! Posted by Kim at 6:11 PM. Subscribe to Post Comments [ Atom.

Random Fiber Ramblings: Secret Pal!

http://sanityknit.blogspot.com/2009/08/secret-pal.html

And other assorted hooey. Thursday, August 13, 2009. I'm still trying to put my Knitting Camp and vacation posts together, but I wanted to show you what my Secret Pal sent! Is reproducing many of the vintage patterns - this one is from 1899. I've been intrigued by these for a long time - I've had this site bookmarked for ages, but I've never actually bought any of them. I love vintage and antique patterns! Thank you, Secret Pal! Posted by Kim at 7:34 PM. Subscribe to Post Comments [ Atom. Im working on i...

Random Fiber Ramblings: Camp!!!

http://sanityknit.blogspot.com/2006/08/camp.html

And other assorted hooey. Tuesday, August 01, 2006. I'm home and (mostly) recovered from Knitting Camp, and I have to say - Meg and Co. I went to Camp 3 - the Oft-Timers camp - and I am so happy that I did! Warning - this is a VERY photo-heavy post! This is the view from my seat. Diane is on the right (more on her later! And on the left is Emily Ocker! Yes, THE Emily Ocker. Emily is a wonderful, funny lady, and she tells the most interesting stories! Camp 3 is structured quite differently from Camp 1.

Random Fiber Ramblings: Sidelined...again

http://sanityknit.blogspot.com/2009/08/sidelinedagain.html

And other assorted hooey. Saturday, August 15, 2009. I've been sidelined for a couple of days now, with the end *hopefully* in sight within the next week or two. The reason? Itty-Bitty, my smallest cat, REALLY didn't want a bath. He turned his head and sank his teeth into my right thumb joint. He's normally a very passive, mellow cat; he just freaked out and reacted. It turns out that cat bites are one of the most dangerous (and painful! Posted by Kim at 7:06 AM. I hope you feel better soon. Dear Kim, pe...

Random Fiber Ramblings: Margaretta Bear

http://sanityknit.blogspot.com/2004/09/margaretta-bear.html

And other assorted hooey. Friday, September 10, 2004. This is a duplication of the 1959 Margaretta letter sweater for my Dad's 45th reunion next weekend. I spun it from white and dyed corriedale, and then designed and knit the sweater. There's a "1959" duplicate-stitched on the left shoulder. The "M" is felted, and then stitched on (just like a "real" varsity letter! My first attempt at design! They're going to raffle it off at the reunion - I'm kind of hoping that my dad buys all of the tickets! Thigh-H...

Random Fiber Ramblings: All Knitting, All the Time!

http://sanityknit.blogspot.com/2005/07/all-knitting-all-time.html

And other assorted hooey. Wednesday, July 13, 2005. All Knitting, All the Time! I've been home for a day and a half, and I'm still having a hard time putting the words together to describe my experience at Knitting Camp. I can't believe how much information my brain was able to absorb! I have so many ideas swirling through my head, I don't even know where to begin. Well, I *should* begin by writing all of these ideas down before I forget them! Or a Elizabeth/Meg/Joyce book was there! The people at School...

Ageblind: Corporations Are Learning Disabled

http://ageblind.blogspot.com/2009/08/corporations-are-learning-disabled.html

Collaboration, the end of retirement and the evolving world of work. Saturday, August 1, 2009. Corporations Are Learning Disabled. Spend sufficient time in a large corporation and you are likely to discover that your employer is a slow learner. The larger the company, the more severe the problem. CEOs generally attribute the glacial pace of change to the size of their enterprise; for example, the CEO of my former employer compared moving the company in a new direction to turning an aircraft carrier.
