My Requests For A Wool Tassle Were Ignored

But this one works too! It's been a turbulent 2 years - too quiet around the blog on my part and all-too unquiet everywhere else! Thanks for sticking with me as I powered through my MFA.


I'm taking a week off (from everything), then I'll be headed over the pond to go bananas at UK Ravelry Day. I'll be teaching alongside Meg Swansen, Wooly Wormhead, Debbie Bliss, and many others whose presence I am absolutely honored to be in!

Here's to a new chapter - one where there is much more time for knitting!

    Congrats on your sterling accomplishments. And the future holds more time for stepping out to meet new knitting friends, I hope.

    Wow, what company you will be in! Your the new star on the block.

    Enjoy and looking forward to your new future.

    Congratulations! I just finished most of Girasole. I am at the knitted edge point. I loved working the whole thing. Hopefully, I can figure out how to do this edging. I have never done one, and I just don't 'get' what I'm supposed to do. Once, while pre-reading directions for a lace shawl, I told a friend that I didn't understand what I was going to do. She gave me good advice " just do it. It will come to you as you knit it". She was totally right, so when I get some quiet time, I am going to sit and start knitting.. it will come to me..
    I look forward to more wonderful things from you now that you aren't studying.

    Habitat Hat: I just purchased this pattern on ravelry, and I’m so excited about starting it. I have a question, if I wanted to make it a slouchier tam-type hat, would it be possible to repeat chart A a second time? Would the stitches line up, because it looks that way.

    Way to go - maybe this is a dense question, but MFA in what?? I'd love to continue on after my BFA, but family first.

    Jared, congratulations on the MFA. So much hard work, so much time and concentration, but so much talent! You are (along with a couple of others, I am enthusiastic in many directions) my idol and I love your blog and your photos and your knits. Did you do an MFA show? Is there a link please please please?

    Fabulous! Congratulations! I love the tassel display. I will say that I have on occasion *added* extra danglies to my mortarboard during a commencement ceremony. I bet any tassel designed by you would have been much more fabulous. That said, the one you earned is fantastic. All best wishes on the next stage of your journey.
