The Art of Yarn: June 2011
http://theartofyarn.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 20, 2011. My Words.Your Story. In an interview I recently watched, Maya Angelou said, "Words are things.". She was speaking of the power of words to hurt, help, inspire, heal, soothe, aggravate, incite, disrespect, and liberate ourselves and others. Words are not just something spoken and floating around in the air. They take hold in your head and your heart. They become a part of us. They are powerful indeed. What a strange thing blogs really are to me. It seems everyone has words to share ...

The Art of Yarn: February 2011
http://theartofyarn.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 17, 2011. I have many friends who started off as students. My dear friend Jan J. is among them and I can't imagine how it is we didn't meet years before. I say this because she and I seem to have a connection that was obvious from the beginning, but not spoken of often. It's just there. We have moved to a state of disconnect, don't you think? Moving with the times and acknowledging the advantages we have at our disposal, instead of fighting it. Spending time commiserating with friends ...

The Art of Yarn: May 2012
http://theartofyarn.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 16, 2012. I called myself a knitwear designer long before I ever officially typed out my first pattern. Why would I do that? If you can't see it, no one else will. I have been writing my own patterns for years, keeping notes and ideas in what I'd like to officially call my 'knitting journals', but more accurately they are a hodge podge collection of notebooks of all shapes, sizes and colors, containing everything that has run through my knitting brain over the last 15-20 years. I originall...

The Art of Yarn: March 2011
http://theartofyarn.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 24, 2011. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature,. Nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits. In the presence of fate is strength undefeatable. Anyone familiar with that world? Believe me, I am. I have been there a few times before. The particular 'on your own'. If you know me at a...

The Art of Yarn: January 2011
http://theartofyarn.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Go after it with a club! That's it. 2 little items 2 years ago. My knitting bags and baskets are always full of works in progress (WIP), but evidently I do not find much time to plan and knit for myself. In the last 2 years I have finished countless projects for the store, for gifts, for classes, and so on. And I feel quite satisfied with that part of my knitting life. Yes, in fact, things have been rolling along nicely. I was heading for knitting purgatory! What do I need?

The Art of Yarn: July 2011
http://theartofyarn.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 2, 2011. I ride my own. I find myself saying this a lot. I smile when I say it. It's a standard response to questions like:. You have a motorcycle? You don't ride on the back of your husband's bike? Yep, I am a motorcycle mama.a biker chick.a knitting biker or a riding knitter. I smile because of the labels and the images this brings to people's minds! I can just see the wheels turning as they try and piece it together.as they size me up and try to make sense of it. This is the perfect bik...
