She-Knits podcast #50 (isn't that my jubilee podcast?) is an interview with Lisa Shoyer who is senior editor of Interweave Knits, editor of Knit Scene and co-editor of the special issue of Interweave Felting Issue. I got to bug Lisa for an interview as I was in the process of knitting up my projects that are going to be in the upcoming Interweave publications (am so excited I still can't believe it). Hope everyone enjoys it!

I am, as mmarker (on Ravelry) put a flaming ball of creativity....well I know I am at least a flaming ball of something. I do feel on fire with trying to get ready for TNNA whilst trying to really get everything going with my wholesale business. I keep thinking of more and more and more bags....I haven't even touched other knitting...well actually I am knitting one other kind of thing, but thats for a Knitty submission...yes....once again I am putting myself in that position again........

Here is the new girl in town, her name is Jane and she is far from plain, a little slip stitching heaven from a mother of seven. Jane is available as a pattern or kit.

I am a so nervous .....

40 minutes more. I just finished knitting the project for Interweave Felts...and now I have just put it in the washer...and I am so afraid it won't work out how I want it to. The thinkg with felting is it is not an exact science. The thing with this project is the amazing yarn that we agreed upon my using is vastly different then what I created the original project in. I had to do multiple swatches and wanted to do another but was concerned that I wouldn't have enough left for the actual project. I know this sounds weird but sometimes when I am designing and doing the knitting part, I get these little feelings that come out of nowhere i.e. "this is the last row" or "add another few sts."...almost like voices "if you build it they will come" kind of voices. I did have some of that while knitting this project but there is just this unkwn factor of it still being an unfamiliar yarn to me and that i never actually knit a swatch with the exact dimensions but rather guessed form what I did and didn't like on the swatches as to how to proceed. 34 minutes more.

#43 Is this happening?

New podcast is up...Epiode #43 Is this happening... Find it on i-tunes uner She-knits Podcast or find it HERE

My exciting news is out! Sheknits is being published not only in Interweave Knits 08' but in Interweave Knits Felting Issue as well! I still can't believe it. I'm more the thrilled. Now I have to learn how to develop an additional persona called confident and assertive Sheknits. I need to learn how to market myself. This is my breakthrough moment...right? So I need to jump on it...and put on my big girl panties and figure it out and and and.

Suggestions?


I am knitting on the same custom orders, having finished one Melly Bag which is currently still in the wash. I just finished another bag that I am going to submit...it really interesting and I've not seen anything like it before. I have Central Park Hoodie on the needles awaiting some attention. I have a silk scarf and Wicked languishing on some needles.
