It’s Here!

and I’m dancing around my apartment!

Shawl Geometry cover-large

It’s the ebook for the Shawl Geometry blog series.

You can learn more about the ebook, and buy it over here.

But why should I buy the ebook when I could just follow the blog?

A couple reasons actually.

  1. immediacy: you get the FULL Shawl Geometry series. Immediately.        The blog series is scheduled to finish the last week of July. When you buy the ebook you get it all right now.
  2. convenience: you can access it offline. Print pages to stick in your knitting bag, or scribble notes all over.
  3. ease: you don’t have to dig through tons of blog posts to find the shape you’re looking for. In the ebook they’re all in one place, right at your finger tips.

and for $23 it’s WAY easier than reinventing the wheel.

Who doesn’t like an almost FO?

I’m always working on some project or another, and most weeks I talk about what I’m working on Wednesdays as part of Tami’s WIP Wednesday project. You can see past WIP Wednesdays … right this way.

 

I’m THIS close to being finished with by brown and green shawl knit out of Plucky Knitter yarn.

I’m thinking just a couple more rows before the bind off. YAY!

While the colors on this second photo are awful, you can see the garter/stockinette detailing better.

And because of the garter/stockinette patterning, I think the back is just as interesting as the front.

I’ve spent the past week editing away on the Shawl Geometry book. I’m super excited!

Creative energy is up

Creative Energy Fortune

But what would happen if you* knew that creative energy was up all the flipping time?

*in this post you really means me, and (maybe) you too but only if you want it to

 
What would you make? What would you create?
What would you put out into the world that didn’t exist before you?
And that wouldn’t exist without you?

What if you thought creative energy was always up?
And that the variable was you* not it?

*me

 
What if the variable in the equation

you* + inspiration + time = art

*remember, you meaning me, and you if you want it

 
wasn’t inspiration, or time, or creativity, or ideas, or your muse, or any one of a million other things? But rather the thing that changed and moved and shifted was you?
Then wouldn’t you* become the thing keeping your art from existing?

*me

 
And with that little bit of fortune cookie inspired musing I’m going to go knit so that I have a better chance of having a knitting based WIP Wednesday for you next week.
