I have a finished object to show you! My Dr Who socks are done!  I'm pretty happy with them (I matched the start of the stripes up perfectly!)  The heel could fit better, but they're good enough. 🙂 And I'm working on my cardigan still. Both sleeves are done and I've started on the body!… Continue reading FO Friday

I'm still here I promise! I'm plugging away at pattern submissions mostly. I've had several rejections lately, but I'm not letting that get me down! All of the ideas are really good, I think, so I'll be pulling them back out later to self publish. Or they might get sent into another call if a… Continue reading Checking in…

This time on my resubmits!! 🙂 I got my box back a week ago (yay!!), and had a few things to redo, but really not much!  My sweater and hat (and related patterns) all passed, as well as my reports and book/magazine reviews.  Whew!!  I just had three swatches to redo or fix, and one… Continue reading More waiting…
