I did a post back in 2008 showing how to read an EOR (every other row) knitting chart. If you are interested you can see the video on Youtube. The PDF file that goes along with the video can be downloaded here: Knitting from Charts. I hope you find the video useful, whether you already know how to read a knitting chart or not.

…and so, I have finally added two new dresses to the collection on my Etsy shop. One is another adorable Auburn dress. It is navy blue and has Auburn across the front. The other dress is probably the most classy and detailed dress I have made to date. The detail on this second dress is awesome. These two dresses have been finished for a while, but had to wait for life to calm down and photos to be taken.
Now that I am back from teaching Hand Quilting at the Estes Park Fiber Festival (which was enormously gratifying) and I now have one graduate class, instead of three, on my plate, hopefully, I can get back to smocking, knitting, sewing….etc. It felt really good to get back into the teaching mode at the festival. I really love it when I can see students actually understanding and improving their skills throughout the duration of the class. Thanks to my minor afternoon contribution, I can say that there are 20 more people out there who have a better understanding of the art of hand quilting. Fabulous!
Now, on to the dresses. I have the fabric in the stash for an Alabama Roll Tide dress, but have yet to put a needle to it. Also in the works is an Auburn toddler bubble outfit that is just adorable, complete with paw prints. So, if you haven’t yet visited my Etsy site, please, please, please do. I would really appreciate it!
As always, comments are welcome and appreciated!

If you live anywhere in the southeastern United States you probably follow, or at least are aware of the SEC and it’s rival schools. I thought I would get a jump on things by starting some orange and blue dresses for the fall football frenzy that is Auburn Football. Below is my first dress for the season and the images are linked to my Etsy shop, in case you want to browse more. Enjoy!

Just finished the next order in line and thought I would show it off. One of my customers ordered an outfit for a newborn to 3 month old baby that had to be in a western theme. Here is what I came up with…Like it?
