A Work in Progress

So aside from all the good news in my last post I've been a very busy bee. It is my last semester as an undergrad and in the BFA world that means thesis time. We actually had to write our papers last semester which was a bit of a challenge, not knowing exactly what our final project would be. It took some convincing of my thesis adviser, but there will be knitting in my thesis. I am planning to create between 6-15 original knitting designs, make them and layout a book and ebook based on them as a collection. It's going to be a time consuming challenge, but I have a schedule and it's much easier to work on homework when it's something you want to do anyway. Unfortunately all this new pattern knitting leads to not much sharable blog content, but I have been spinning for various projects so I have some yarn to show you and a baby cardigan for an expectant friend.

Exciting Day!

My first profesionally published pattern came out today in Knitty! And if that wasn't awesome enough I got an email from a different publication saying they were picking up another of my patterns. I am absolutely giddy!
