The good news is that I just turned in my extra cute summer cardi jacket pattern will be going live on Craftzine tomorrow. I’m really happy with it! It’s made of CotLin. It’s girly but not fussy, easy on the yarn, and I’m itching to make a bunch of variations.
The bad news is I had a very hard time getting decent pictures on my poor, decrepit, 1999 camera.
There’s other bad news, unrelated to the jacket, but I don’t want to talk about it because 1) it’s boring to anyone but me and Ron; 2) It’s my fault for taking people at their word instead of being totally cynical and suspicious (but I’m not really cool with treating everyone I encounter like they’re either stupid or lying); 3) It’s entirely beyond my control; and 4) I don’t want to start bawling again. Which, it turns out, I am actually about to go do right now.
Also I have chigger bites and they suck.
I hope everything turns out O.K. The jacket is really cute. Congratulations!
Hey, I am delurking to tell you that I “found” you in 1997 via the Dick List at Disgruntled Housewife … then lost track of you for a while … then found you again in 2009 through my rediscovery of knitting. It was a very nice surprise, the old, the new, the knitting, all that. I thought you kicked ass back then and even more so now. I know that you will get through whatever it is and still keep on keeping on :) Hope life becomes less sucky! Love the cardi!
Hi there! Love this sweater and several people asked me if I would make one for them – told them I needed to check with you lst to make sure that it was ok to sell it.
Thank you for putting this great design out there for us!
