Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

Almost makes me want to take up steeks and two color knitting. Almost. Beautiful job. You're a geneeus!!!
Well, that is just blinkin' gorgeous. Doing my Wile E. Coyote voice here, "Samurai Knitter, su-per gen-ius!"
I'll just sit back and fan myself, looking at it. Wow.
Wow. My steeked jacket is saying to your steeked jacket, 'I want to be you when I grow up.'
Good job!
Wow, and what Bells said!
Beautiful...
Awesome! I am in awe.
Huzzah huzzah huzzah... and now, knowing you, I can't wait to see what two projects you cast on in its place...
Gosh that's pretty.
whoa. Now I need to sit down. That's awesome.
that is gorgeous!
But I think I'll stick to socks for now - I still haven't knitted up the superwash purple trainwreck, but it gets stroked on a very regular basis.
Hahahaha, I just noticed my toes are visible in the bottom of that photo. Boy, am I skilled.
