Cynthia's Place of Knitting & Quilting and Musings: March 2011
http://cynthiawebber.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Cynthias Place of Knitting and Quilting and Musings. My journey into knitting, quilting, and musings about my life. Saturday, March 12, 2011. The King's Speech and Knitting in the Dark. As it rained this morning, a Saturday, cleared up a bit and then when I was out walking Millie, it started to drizzle, we decided that today was the day to see the film. My favourite yarn shop, 88 Stitches. As CynthiaW, you will know what I mean. However, once the film began, I stopped knitting at times so that I wouldn't...

Wrong Side Facing: January 2013
http://wrongsidefacing.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 27, 2013. I had a great time last weekend at Vogue Knitting Live! Here in NYC. It's always such an honor to be one of the keepers of the craft, as we move from one generation to the next. There are so many cool things happening these days in knitting, crocheting, dyeing, spinning and designing. But more importantly how they were able to be in Chicago for October, 2012's Vogue Knitting Live! They couldn't ever fight about. This sweater has been a few years in the making, but it is finally ...

Pick a month to see what we're knitting! Pick a month to see what we're knitting! February 15, 2015 10:24 am. Posted by: Sophia Leave a Comment. I’m in Miami for the entire month of February for my Code for America. Fellowship. We were warned in our January training that this month was going to be very intense and very busy, and I don’t think there’s ever been a greater understatement. So I brought sock knitting with me to Miami. Johanna refers to plain-vanilla socks as “anxiety socks,” a...Posted by: So...

Wrong Side Facing: July 2013

Thursday, July 18, 2013. Sideshow Freaks and Knitting. I've been extremely busy with designing and articulating a new frontier in my knitwear practice, which will hopefully end up as a small collection soon. It's inspired by a good friend of mine who is an acrobat/contortionist with Cirque du Soleil, but more broadly it's inspired by circus sideshow freaks and performers. But first, this is a nice vintage-y shot of two new designs I just finished for Willow Yarns. I've recently begun embracing more of my...

Wrong Side Facing: Acros
http://wrongsidefacing.blogspot.com/2014/08/acros.html
Wednesday, August 20, 2014. I recently finished a small 10-piece collection for TSC Yarns (Tahki Stacy Charles), and I couldn't be more thrilled. I had such a great experience working with everyone, from the generosity of Stacy Charles and his fantastic selection of yarns, to my stylist, hair/makeup and video crew (and of course the models). The entire collection, along with the video produced for the collection, can be viewed HERE. September 18-21 - Block Island Knitting Retreat at North Light Fibers.

Wrong Side Facing: August 2013

Wednesday, August 14, 2013. But what we never planned for was someone so full of rage and pain that they would feel so compelled to rip our beautiful sunflower off its 7 foot tall stalk and tear it to shreds. It's a zen garden, you have to let go". Turns out he was right. Very right. The act of letting that magnificent sunflower go and remembering its short but gorgeous life was a real gift. It allowed me to be at peace with the things this world can be, not the things that it is not.

Wrong Side Facing: September 2013

Sunday, September 8, 2013. It's ok to frog. There is talk about frogging. Knitting has its own language, and not surprisingly, elicits strange looks around non-knitters when something like "Argh. I have to frog this" is said. The "ripper" begins spewing obscenities and sometimes even calling the "rippee" horrible, horrible names. A little dramatic, perhaps, but true. And sometimes it's just a simple "eh, doesn't look good" that suffices. It's all ok. Say it with me now. It's the same reason I don't write...
