I do, I do. Yesterday I bought my first skein of Lisa Souza, in the Violet’s Pink Ribbon, of course. Part of the proceeds goes to help one of my favorite podcasters with her medical expenses, so send good wishes Violet’s way, and go buy pretty yarn from Lisa.
When Scout asked this summer if I would be interested in writing an article she’d pitched, I agreed. I had so much fun interviewing different hand painted yarn artists, and I hope you enjoy reading the article. I wish I could have been even more comprehensive–every day I run across hand painters who are new to me whose work I love.
I’ve published a few poems (the first was about the American hostages held in Iran, published by my local weekly…I started young!), some prose work, tons of pr crap (paid practice), but having an article in Knitty is exciting to me. It’s a publication I love (who doesn’t?), and it is so much fun to write about my other obsession: fiber. If you’re visiting me for the first time from Knitty: hi and welcome!
There was an enthusiastic response to the idea of The Organized Elf, so I’m working on a blog for us. I don’t want to wear out my welcome with my usual source for fantastic banners as she is already stretched pretty far, so if anyone is interested in making buttons, I’d love to have them. Maybe one of them will become a banner for our year-long project. Scout tried to school me on the art of buttons and banners last year, but I spent some time getting frustrated last night, unable to recall my lessons. I’m a bad student!
Thank you AGAIN.

Congratulations on your article!
Congrats on your article! (going to read it now…)
It’s a great article! Yet another handdyer here 🙂
Fabulous article! Congrats! 🙂
Love your blog header: Audrey Hepburn/Holly Golightly. Who could ever be so stylish!?
Just read your article. How exciting to be published, and the writing is wonderful. I’m still totally into the elf project, but alas, I have no concept how to create banners, buttons or other such technical items. Enjoy your weekend.
Congrats on the article! I am off to read it right now.
Congrats on the article! It was a great read. You and Scout work very well together!
I loved reading your article. I have two skeins of Scout’s Yarn, one that she custom dyed for me in the colors of the Green Bay Packers. I love her yarn. I think I will try some from the others you mentioned in your article. Good job!
whelp, you force me to continue to try my hand with this sock business. I don’t mind failure, I just hate missing out on all the beautiful adornments I can place on another part of my body! Thanks for your article, it is fun to read and all those colors make it yummy to look at too!
Yay Bev! Published in Knitty! Way to go!
