Guess where I’m going next week!



Guess where I’m going next week!

For One More Row Press's next publication, Alice and I are going on a recon trip and connecting with our Parisian designer and dyer friends.

I’m off to get a new pair of sneakers, but share your recommendations of anything we shouldn’t miss in the comments.

It was a year, 2017, wasn’t it?



It was a year, 2017, wasn’t it?

Thank you for all the hearts and comments that made up this #bestnine2017

Clockwise from top left:

  • In my happy place at NYS&W @spirittrailfiberworks booth cuddling Zalti yarn in Big Barn Red that Jen specially dyed for @knitfilament
  • in another happy place @knittycity showing off my Persistence tee from @junipermoonfarm (and my pussyhat)
  • at the NY Women’s March with our girls proudly wearing my first @p_ssyhatproject
  • talking to knitters at Knitty City about the Fall issue of Filament while wearing Covert
  • remembering my dear friend Jill @yarnsinthefarms who supported me early in my knitting career
  • punting on the Cam with the big guy
  • in our happy place in Maine with my favorite photographer after a shoot for @poststitch
  • seeing this sweater @themuseumofmodernart was like bumping into an old friend after a visible mending class with @julie_of_jetsetsewing (one of the benefits of living in NYC)
  • center - hero shot from Quadrille, a sweater originally inspired by my dear grandmother’s vest that was her souvenir from Ireland. 
Happy that family, friends, knitting, and resistance all were part of my 2017.

Happy New Year, my friends.

Let’s make history in 2018.
xoxo, Kathleen . . .

Ten years ago today I got off the plane with my toddling daughter and a couple of suitcases to begin a new life in a new place. Who knew that after all the ups and downs of my previous life, I would find my way (back) to this man, so that we could build a complicated, challenging, wonderful life together. Grateful to be #tenyearsanewyorker . . .

Faros is the kind of cardigan you throw on any time - as part of an outfit or over your swimming suit. Knit from the bottom up in a diamond lace pattern that's easy to work and provides natural air conditioning, Faros is great in @junipermoonfarm Cumulus. Did you know that Faros means lighthouse in Greek? There is a lovely lighthouse at the southwest point of Santorini with amazing sunset views - perfect place to wear this sweater! Check out all the travel-worthy pieces in the Santorini collection in the profile link.

Rhinebeck treasures. Not shown: full heart. See blog for deets. #rhinebeck2016 #happyplace

Rhinebeck acquisitions (clockwise from top left): wool trivet and coasters from Dashing Star Farm (I always check out their wool-filled pillows but haven't bought one yet), @soakwash wool wash in Celebration (also good for dainty things), shearling slippers that are the BEST, a big bag of Moth Beware! plus smaller bags and refresher oil, shearling insoles for my LLBean boots, the Miss Babs (out of the paper bag) plus a pretty little stitch market, and a @mason.dixon.knitting swag bag

ETA: Also not shown: tasty treats including ricotta cannoli (get those next year), kettle corn, cider donuts, cocoa loco, and zucchini from my friend's garden.

Knitting Basic Cable with help from @anntudorllc sheep stitch markers (love them). This will be our next The Sweater sweater, so if you're looking for summer souvenir yarn, get yourself a sweater-quantity of worsted wool to be ready. I'm knitting with @malabrigoyarn Rios in the color Reflecting Pool (love it). #kathleeninmaine #sweaterknitting #kdsweater #basiccable

My first visit to @halcyonyarn this summer was a fact finding mission for a future pattern collection, which means I didn't purchase any of this yarn. Yet. For a famous wool shop, they have a lot of great non-wool yarns. #kathleeninmaine #beachknitting

Some Indigo on Light Gray had to come home with me. Love the depth of this color. I'm thinking a Gansey-inspired stole. #kathleeninWI

#kdknitphotohop recap

Many thanks to everyone who participated in the #kdknitphotohop over the past week. It was lots of fun! I got to meet new-to-me Instagrammers and give away some patterns. Here's where we started:
SPARKLE winner

BEGINS WITH K winner

JOY winner
KNITTING winner
JANE AUSTEN winner
HEARTS/LOVE winner
and BIRTHDAY winner
Thanks, again, to everyone who played along! It was so fun that I'm thinking of doing a weekly prompt (seven days in. a. row. was kind of a lot for me, though that could be because it was also the first week of school, the week leading up to my and my husband's birthdays, as well as preparing for Penelope's belated birthday party - summer birthdays can be tough on a kid).

Tomorrow I will announce the yarn giveaway winner for enough Miss Babs Yowza in Oyster to knit the Caught in the Rigging cowl.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy knitting!
xoxo,
