"So," you ask, "what have you done lately?"
(May 2008)
I finally closed down my old website and email account. It will take me awhile to change all the internal pages here that give my old email address, so here's the new one: Judy (at) tiajudy (dot) com.
(9 October 2007)
I've posted a nifty way to do a hem-like side edging on a scarf or shawl, called the Riga Scarf Edging after the city where the model scarf was discovered.
(June 2006)
Two sharp-eyed knitters found some errors I made in the stitch counts in my Baby Cable Cap. I have just posted the corrected version. If you had trouble with the cable landing where it was supposed to, this should fix it--try again!
I've also uploaded a preliminary version of another baby cap, the Frosty Days Chullo. This one is trickier than it looks, since it's a double-thick slip-stitch pattern for extra warmth. Just what you want for mid-summer knitting, eh? Please let me know if you find errors or are confused by the instructions.

Perhaps the ultimate knitting challenge is lace knitting. This section contains my explorations of knitted lace, and patterns for the designs that result.
You're more likely to find curiosities in this section than sweaters. Knitted
balls, socks done from the toe up, doll clothes, and whatever
little puzzle grabs my attention next. All my patterns are indexed here, including those that are also kept in the lace section.
Just handing out some helpful items and explanations I've developed along the way!
While most of what is on this site is based on my own ideas and designs, one of the best ways to get ideas and to learn new things is to knit other peoples' designs. So of course I do a lot of that, too. This gallery displays photos of these pieces.
Here's where to look if you can't find something you're pretty sure you remember seeing on this site somewhere. Half-baked ideas, horses changed in the middle of the stream, passing fancies, and other undeveloped ideas find their refuge on the Dropped Ball page.
Are you learning to knit?
Or teaching somebody? Streaming video of beginning knitting lessons are online free from Common Threads, a local yarn shop near me. They also offer full access to a library of videos of advanced techniques for a small membership fee.
