THANKS

Rather than write to everyone I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have purchased my videos and sent me such wonderful comments and also thank those of you who watch my free videos and send me such lovely notes. I really appreciate it. I'm trying to get some new videos out, both free ones and ones for sale, but I've been very busy and haven't had much time. Keep looking though and thanks again to you all.

HAPPY KNITTING!

LEATHERHEADS


If you go to see the movie, Leatherheads, starring George Clooney, look for two of my knits. They are both vests, both worn by John Krazinski, whose name in the movie is Carter. We actually made lots of sweaters for this movie, but only two of them got in. I never know what's going to be in or what got edited out till I see the movie. I didn't get any pictures this time, so I'm showing the swatches. One of the vests is in one of the first scenes. The other is in the middle of the movie. Both are worn under a jacket so don't blink or you'll miss them.

A NEW WEB-SITE I LIKE

Friends have started a new web-site. It's not a knitting site, but I want to support it. It's www.bestoftheberkshires.com. For those of you who live in, or visit, the Berkshires in Western Ma. it's a fun site filled with lots of information about what to do there. There is some knitting information in a story about the actress Karen Allen, who has a company that makes knits and a store in Great Barrington, Ma. where they are sold. And they promise me there will be more knitting information about all the knitting stores in the area. Check out the web-site.

SEED STITCH

I put a new video on the web-site today. It's a demonstration of how to knit the seed stitch. The seed stitch is one of my favorite stitches. Why? Because it's easy. All you need to know is how to knit and how to purl. It never curls. It has a great texture. I love to use it as edging on baby blankets and it makes a great scarf. I also like it on the bottom, cuffs and neck of sweaters. It's described in the Stitches section of the web-site, and now as a demonstration on the new video. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
