Inktober, Week 3

October 28, 2017 LauraLeave a comment

This week I continued Inktober despite traveling on vacation.  I did end up using different tools – I took my Ink Joy Gel Pens and my Marvy Le Pens with me.  In general I was less happy with this week’s drawings. I’ll share a secret – I usually sketch what I want really lightly in… Continue reading Inktober, Week 3

Inktober, Week 2 – 2017

October 20, 2017 LauraLeave a comment

This week’s standout for me was the Flamingo Pink – I loved the ink and I loved the drawing itself (I can’t claim credit for the idea – Google images helped a lot!)  I also had some help with Fire & Ice – I’ve included both versions as my niece decided I needed some help… Continue reading Inktober, Week 2 – 2017

October 18, 2017 LauraLeave a comment

Recently Stitchcraft Marketing contacted me to see if I would be interested in knitting something out of Zen Yarn Garden’s Gradient Sets.  I spent a little while looking at the sets, deciding if I wanted a tonal set versus a more variegated set, and whether I wanted to do a trio or a quartet.  I finally settled on… Continue reading Knit Me: Zen Yarn Garden Gradient Sets

In one of the recent Tea Runners boxes I found a delicious looking tea from the American Tea Room called Organic Bliss.  I was actually surprised to see that the American Tea Room has locations in Los Angeles.

Inktober.

October 9, 2017 LauraLeave a comment

Recently I have been getting more into fountain pens and inks.  So I was excited to try and participate in this year’s Inktober challenge. Originally I thought I would just practice my penmanship and use a different ink color every day of the month. But then I read the actual initiative and realized I was… Continue reading Inktober.

Welcome!

Hi! I’m Laura. As a California girl transplanted to the Midwest, I fully embraced spinning and knitting to keep warm. My love of fiber arts has lead me to become a knitting tech editor, host of a weekly video podcast and a knitwear designer. My goal is to produce beautiful fiber projects and help other designers produce well-crafted patterns — free from errors!
