This is my blog for my new business. I've been knitting since Feb 2009 after a break of 15+ years. I first learned from books but picked up again since my friend dyed the most beautiful yarns and I just couldn't collect them. I started to spin in Aug 2010 on a spindle and then on a Hansen Minispinner since Oct 2010. I started to weave Sept 2014 on an Emilia Glimakra Rigid Heddle Loom. I've been test knitting since 2011 and a sample knitter since 2016.

Knitting Process
I have a tendency to use a lot of index cards. Lost of times there is no need to print out a pattern. If its short I can just write it out on an index card which goes right into the project bag. Here is one. I write the needle size so I can remember where to return it. Some are so well used that the needles doesn't have the size on it any more. I also write down how many rows and any changes so I can note it down on my Ravelry project page. I helps me if I do the same pattern and a few people have found it helpful seeing my notes. This pattern didn't tell me how many decrease rows so I wrote it down. I also noted the hours so I can figure out my rate to price my handknits. Here is the finally project.
