Of all the patterns I’ve released to date, the most popular by far is the Kudzu Shawlette. As of this writing, it has 207 finished projects in Ravelry — a order of magnitude more than any of my other patterns. I wish I knew what helped it make such a splash — surely being published [...]

Cast-On Monday: What are YOU working on?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Cast-On Monday, readers write the blog, Remily Knits on May 21, 2012 | 2 Comments »
Guess how many new projects I cast on in the last few weeks? Other than my little pink pig, zero. I have a good excuse though! I’ve been working hard the last week or so on getting proposals ready for two different calls for submission. For Classic Elite’s Spring 2013 call, I’m submitting a cute [...]

I have succumbed to hexipuffs! My goal for 2012 is to make one hexipuff each day … but of course I started in February, and sometimes I miss a day, so my tally so far is a mere 20 of 366. I was also hampered by a distinct lack of the right kind of sock yarn. I [...]

Last year, my son started 5th grade at IACS. About halfway through the year, his homebase teacher invited students and parents to teach a weekly class during homebase time. Last year’s classes included ASL, Crime Investigation, Greek Mythology (my son was in that group!), and I offered to teach knitting. My little group did [...]
Get Thee Some Organizers

Ever since we moved into our house over a decade ago, I have used the “back counter” in our dining room/kitchen for crafts. For a long time, it was all-scrapbooking, all the time. Having everything “out” but also “out of the way” made all the difference with toddlers in the house — I could do [...]

Lately I’ve been teaching more and more knitting classes. I taught a “first lace project” class at the Andover Bookstore using my Kudzu pattern — thus turned out to be a bit more ambitious than I intended, but my students rose to the occasion admirably. Then I designed my Steek This Coffee Cozy pattern for [...]

Last year at about this time, I joined a group on Ravelry called “52 Projects in 52 Weeks.” The group description runs thusly: The goal is to start (and finish!) 52 projects in 52 weeks. You can knit, crochet, spin or dye. Mix and match, it’s your choice. The goal of the group is to [...]

Help fund a great knitwear design company! Cooperative Press KickStart is on now! One of the first places that accepted one of my patterns was Cooperative Press. My pattern for a baby girl sunsuit will be published in their “Fresh Designs: Baby” book, due out later this year. The photo shoot with child models hasn’t [...]
