Hand painted yarn for the soul

This is me


knitting: a method of constructing fabric by interlocking a series of loops of one or more yarns


zen: a religion, a philosophy, or simply a practice depending on one's perspective

What is the sound of one knitter knitting?

It's about yarn, it's about the people, it's about knitting in public in a peak oil society.

And about being a Sexy Knitter - it's not just for grandmas!


It's also about sharing the love by having a free pattern for your edification (but not profit):

    hi there, I'm your sockret pal! Thanks for posting the questionnaire - v. helpful. Also, did you get the email I sent you? I am concerned you didn't - maybe it got sorted to your spam folder? It's from Sockret Pal if you wouldn't mind checking... just want to make sure you a. had a way to contact me and b. knew I was on the case!
