Fool’s Gold is in the Fall 2009 Knotions.

Let me know what you think about the video format.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve written this post in my head or tried to log into my blog to actually do it.

I’m flat burned out.  I need a break from a bunch of things and a 6 week blog silence proves this.  I have lots to show but don’t feel motivated to say it.

I want to focus on my designs and regroups, so I will be lengthening this blogging break to 6 months.  I hope to pick up again in August, refreshed and ready to share all that has been bestowed upon me.

If you want to keep up with me, check ravelry or flickr.

Sorry guys,  I got back from vacation and got sucked into some design ideas and I am chasing them down.  You can find me a bit more on ravelry.  I need to nail down Churchable for some FO post photography because they are just stacking up like cordwood here.

I love ya’ll and I know a few of ya’ll miss me since I haven’t posted in over a month and a half.

No promises but I will try to get a FO post up late tonight.  ::kisses all around::

Please make sure your RSS feed is routed through http://feeds.feedburner.com/PursuitOfFiber. If you have the feedburner feed for POF, then when I make changes and switch software and finally come to a place where I am happy you will not have lost me. The blog will still be on my website Pursuitofiber.com, but I am changing how I publish and how the archives are managed. If I can’t use it easily then how can I think that you the readers enjoy using and reading the blog.

No worries. I am still knitting and maybe we will have a Finished Object Week when I get back to show you the wonders that have happened here in chez POF.

I am starting to design for my mystery project. I have the industry standard measurements, which don’t give me enough details. So I would like you my readers to help me, you can do two things. 1. measure yourself (details will be below) I promise I won’t share this 2. post on your blog asking people to come over and help.

So pull out your tape measures and help. You can send me the details at EotasteATgmailDOTcom with all the little bits pulled out and changed of course or in the comments and I won’t post the comment. Mark the subject line Garment measurements. Thanks in advance.

Hey Everyone,

Do you know what all that is in the picture? Well of course you do. Do you know what it means? Well I do it means work.

I have been diligently following some bizarre leads (ie not from my usual sources). I had one random knitter at Madrona suggest that I go volunteer for this company that is a mere 45 min and 25 miles from my house. I ignored this sock knitter that was fondling Kogui, because who was she but some random knitter. Well back in march I bought the Yarn Harlot’s book Casts off to amuse myself since humor was needed in those dark hours ( I had as of yet never read one of her books). Halfway though the book I glanced at the cover and stared in shock. This was the random knitter that suggest I go talk to a yarn company. Um oops. After getting back in the routine of being home and no longer caring for Meemo (my MIL), I went on a small PDX yarn crawl of my own making. I stumbled into Farm House Knit Shop. I petted the yarn. Bought some yarn and talked to the owner, who suggested that I apply for a job at the same yarn company. Well I bounced along said path of application and eventually met Tina of Blue Moon Fiber Arts.

I had no clue what kind of job I would be offered, but I was willing to take anything. What art school graduate does not want to work in their chosen field? Well I got what to me is a dream job. I get to play with yarn all day and imagine and bring to actuality designs that are dancing in my head with Blue Moon Yarn. So Yes I am now a designer for Blue Moon Fiber Arts.

What this means to you my dear readers is that I will not be posting as often. I will try to post at least once a week, but I will let you know when a deadline is close and you will see me slip into the dark world of knitting my fingers off to create something. Hopefully something people will like.

These pages will hold mainly knitting and sewing pieces but don’t be shocked if weaving, spinning, tatting, crochet, needlepoint and assorted other techniques pop up.
At the beginning of February, I hope to have my loom up and running.
