Where do you find your design inspiration?
Inspiration comes from the different seasons with colour playing a big part. I also have a love of vintage patterns and have quite a collection. My youngest is know 10 and she inspires me with her ideas.

I mentioned that I was taking part in the Indie Designer Giftalong 2014, right?
Guess what, I won a pattern of my choice from 80skeins in the Name That Designer game!
I'm so excited, I usually never win anything...
Anyway, I chose the Leaf on the Wind shawl -- as a Firefly fan, I've had the pattern on my wishlist for a while already. And isn't it pretty?

Tell me about yourself
I have a cat that thinks he’s my husband. I have a husband who I started dating when I called in to a college radio show I knew he helped with and dedicated a song to him. Music has always…

It has been busy over here since the Giftalong started, I’ve managed not to spend all my time on the Ravelry or Pinterest. What I mean is that I’ve taken food and sleeping breaks, and work breaks. I haven’t managed to do much knitting!
I’ve been having fun repinning some cool things over on Pinterest, I’m enjoying the opportunity to browse some designers I haven’t encountered before. I’m in love with a children’s cardigan by Jenny Wiebe – never mind for the kids – I want one for me! I seem to have a thing about colour-blocking at the moment – Michelle Meyer has a gorgeous shawl which is definitely tempting me too.
Today I’ve mainly been looking at mittens. I have some lovely fibre from Hilltop Cloud – a gradient shading from white to dark gray.
My favourite mittens were sadly chomped by the dreaded moths so I’m on the lookout for a new pair. I haven’t spun the fibre yet so I’m not limited by yarn weight. You can see my current favourites on my Giftalong2014 favourites board on Pinterest.
I have a few mittens and wristwarmers included in the Giftalong too: Planetarium Wristwarmers, Buttons! Mittens, Hildasay Mittens and Voar Wristwarmers.
And don’t forget – you can find all my #giftalong2014 patterns here, and I’m chatting about the giftalong on Twitter and Instagram too!

Apparently I cannot count
I had planned a to complete a full month of blog posts for November in honour of not only NaBloPoMo but also Wovember!
However, some things have got in my way. Primarily my inability to schedule posts successfully. It is not 2015, nor is it January, February or March of 2015. When I’m scheduling posts, I really need to make sure I’m correcting the day not the month… Oops!
Rather than publish a…
