Mid-summer update!

Hi everyone!

Summer has been delightful so far! Here’s an update on where I’m at:

My Typha shawl is about to come out in the Fall 2010 Knitscene.

I’ve got another pattern coming out soon in an online pub (you know the one…) and a third possibly getting into the following issue.

My first full garment design has been commissioned for a print mag for next year, and I’m waiting for the yarn to be delivered.

I have two garments on the needles that may become self-published at some point, along with a few hat and cowl ideas.

I’m preparing ideas to become online video lessons (a class for knitting Piper, another for the textured swatch class I taught for years, a third for the advanced vintage sewing techniques translated to knitting that I’m teaching live this fall at Vancouver’s Maiwa textile symposium.

I’m reading through Shannon Okey’s KnitGrrl guide to professional knitwear design, and preparing a review for a future podcast.

..and, our home renos are at a point where I’ve just been able to clear out a room to become my office, and my sweetie has just bought a bunch of gorgeous birch-faced plywood to turn into pretty boxes that will stack and become shelving for all of my yarn collection, in my future craft studio! Wooot!

In hooping life, I’m mid-summer festival, getting ready for the Vancouver Folk Music Festival next weekend (I volunteer in the Info Booth, and am organizing a bunch of hoopers and jugglers to perform/teach in the Little Folks area) and also planning workshops for the fall.

.. and life is good!

How are you? What’s happening in your life that should be shared and celebrated?
