Still twitching
This is me, waving feebly from under the avalanche of work that’s buried me these past weeks: I’m still alive! In fact, proof of my continued existence is now on view: go sneak a peek at the fall issue of Stephanie’s brainchild, Popknits. As soon as Stephanie asked for vintage-inspired contributions, I had an idea ready.
This is the Footlights Cardigan, my secret yellow project from the Tour de France KAL, and you’ll be able to read all about it when the issue goes live at the beginning of September. One of the things I’m scrambling to do is to finish a second sample with three-quarter sleeves.
That’s all for now; a manuscript about the fifth wife of Henry VIII and a weather unit for second and third graders still need my attention, and then I’m settling in to finish a sleeve and gulp lemonade as I try to endure the heat wave Portland’s having. (At least the knitting work can be done while watching the Olympics!)

Congrats! I noticed you in the ads in the Fall magazines (I really like the wrap/stole you were wearing in one of them).

Have I mentioned how much I love your sweater? No? Well, I love it. That golden yellow is a favorite color at the moment, and the light, elegant, lovely cut of that cardigan is to die for! And laceweight – yum. I bet it feels fabulous on. I hope the work breezes by.
