I am trying different patterns of writing, to find which works best most often.
I am knitting my first ever charted lace project (more on that later).
I joined a group of women artists online.
I submitted a knitting pattern for publication (for pay) and had it accepted (YAY!)
I decided to get a DBA and start being an official business person. (note to self, get forms notarized on Monday)
Re: the charted lace pattern. I am making the Ogee Lace Skirt designed by Gryphon Perkins from the Summer 2007 interweave Knits magazine. When my inexperience caused difficulties, I wrote to both Gryphon and the magazine, and received extremely helpful and quick responses from both.
I am using 'Safari' by GGH. It's a suede-to-the-touch fiber of linen wrapped around a nylon core. I chose two colorways, one in blue-purple, the other in green-blue, and am knitting them together as if one strand.
It is quite challenging to knit lace with it, but I am LOVING the results. The slight stiffness of the strands of fiber make the results almost sculptural, and the linen feels so velvety....
I will post an image of it when I am done.
Image is of green lace from the garden. (close up of Monks Hood {aconite} foliage)

You go, Grrrl! Pushing and growing is powerful, alternating scary and elated emotions when I do it myself.
Must be warm weather is growing you as well as the monks hood.
You really are stretching and growing in so many ways. Be proud of yourself, you deserve it! B*B, Ysabeau
