2026 is off to a slippery start here in Maine with weeks of ice, including several days of being “iced-in”. As the world froze outside, creativity spurred inside! But first, a quick recap of 2025 and “Luxury in Lace”: And now a sneak peek of what is in store for 2026, Multicolored: Multicolored will bring designs featuring two or more colors to your knitting needles! You all know me too well to simply assume it’s designs using the same yarn in two (or more) colors. Yes, that will happen, but other designs utilize different yarn weights in different colors. And at least one design features a fun way to add color to an otherwise solid knit. A multi-designer collection will …
HOTN – I’ve just finished the last project in Sizzlin’ Stitches and am so excited to show off my FOs! Porto, designed by Jill Wolcott, knit in Ella Rae organic cottonWith Porto, I learned a new stitch! Such an exciting experience – Fisherman’s Rib is now in my collection of potentials for future designs. I was asked if Fisherman’s Rib and Brioche are the same – they create a similar fabric, but the methodology is different. Watch my quick review on the differences here. Honeycomb Breeze, designed by Orchard House Editing, crocheted in Amano Yarns organic cottonIt felt like EVERYTHING about this design was new to me. Okay not everything – I have crocheted before, but it definitely stretched …

Last week I wrote and invited you all to join in the #keepWNCwarm event with me. But I also wanted to do something from the designer end of things to say “thank you” to each one of you who decided to support the area I lived in for a quarter of a century! If you’ve donated, please use the code pray4westernnc on Ravelry or Payhip to download your choice of either Downtown Burnsville, Wednesday with Wendy, or Winter Chic. I picked each of these because they are all cold weather projects, but more than that – they all have a particular tie to my own home. Downtown Burnsville – Burnsville, NC was home to “my” LYS… on the long drive …

T-3 days and camera mom and I will head up to our new home in Maine, where camera dad awaits our arrival! Squee with me!!! And prayers are very much appreciated to. Business Effects – I’ll been offline until the computers are moved, which may not be until camera dad’s next uHaul haul, but I’m hoping it won’t be too long. I may (or may not) have cell service up there so may (or may not) be available via email. But that’s the best chance of catching me. Ya, a lot of the technology is still unknown, sorry about that.
