More Test Knitting, Preparing For A Seminar & Hollywood Calls Again

Just off the heels of test knitting for Mary Anne Oger (great to work with her!), I received an email from a machine knitter/blogger in Germany asking if I would test knit.

I like a challenge and really love test knitting so of course I said yes.  The pattern is for a single bed fully lined mitten.  Kirsten sent me the pattern and off I went.  All done in sock yarn (I used my odds and ends).  Great pattern and well written.  The mitten is much like Diana Sullivan's "Footnotes" (I was honored to test knit for Diana) but, a bit different.  There are endless possibilities for patterning or color work one could incorporate in this mitten.

As soon as the pattern is available I will post the information here.  Kirsten has recently started a very nice blog, stop by and visit:

As I mentioned a few months ago, I will be teaching at Rocking Horse Farms (RHF) in September.  Starting to get my information together and so look forward to a trip to Minnesota where I can see some lush greenery!

Also, I was just contacted by a major movie production company  in Los Angeles asking if I would accept a commission to knit sweaters for an A list actor (very famous) that would be used in an upcoming film.  I promised to get back to them as need to decide if I want to take on that project.  Exciting to say the least!

Updates And A Great Looking Machine Knit Trim

Time seems to fly doesn't it?  I've been busy with my full time day job but still knitting away.  Just started a soft pink vest and knit a bit every night.  Was starting a lace scarf for a lady who seems to love and wears some type of one daily.  As you know lace is not always cooperative and the yarn has to be perfect (for what is in my mind)...so, that continues in between projects.

Rocking Horse Farm in St. Cloud Minnesota has asked me to teach at their September seminar.  I'm working through the topics  they want me to teach.  It will be fun, you can visit them here:  RHF

I gladly agreed to test knit a new pattern for Mary Anne Oger.  The yarn arrived yesterday and once she has time to finish the pattern (and send it off) I'll be creating sparks on the machine to get it done quickly.  If you would like to visit her website click on her name above.

Lastly, Diana Sullivan, in celebration of her more than 10,000 YouTube subscribers and over 3,000,000 views has posted a  beautiful tailored edge trim video on her blog & on YouTube.  I can see this trim on so many items.  Click here to check it out: Latch Tool Cast On Trim
