Francis is Famous

I want to thank Courtney over at Kelbourne Woolens for featuring Francis Revisited on their blog! You can find the entry here. For those of you who don't know, Kelbourne Woolens is the distributor for Fibre Company Yarns. Fibre Company yarns are amazing! Check them out on their website. You might want to consider knitting yourself a Francis Revisited in Canopy Worsted for the holidays.

Bah Humbug!

I feel like a total Scrooge McDuck this holiday season. The tree is actually up, the lights and ornaments on. The first holiday party of the season has already come and gone, but I'm just not in the mood. I am only knitting three holiday gifts, and not one of them is done despite efforts to start and finish them all last month. In fact, I don't have a single holiday gift purchased or completed and I'm busy almost every single day until Christmas Eve, and Hanukah starts this Friday!!!! Bah Humbug indeed.

New Look

So the philosoknitter changed her look. After nearly 3 years I've decided to change things up here and go with a bolder, more modern look. What do you think? The new colors are inspired by my recently ordered business cards! That's right the philosoknitter is going professional and apparently referring to herself exclusively in the 3rd person.

Up coming:

Tracy Raver Photos

So, apparently Tracy Raver's baby photos are all the rage, and I can totally see why, they are adorable, natural and so sweet. But what amazes me are the handknits in many of the photos. They are spectacular, especially the baby "pouches." Where does she get them? And how does one make them? I sent her an email on flickr, so if I am very lucky maybe she'll let me know. Stay tuned.

Update: I found two patterns on ravelry. Baby cocoon pea pod and egg, and hanging cocoon. Also Tracy Raver's site is back up, so here's the link. I'm going to keep working on this mystery. These would make perfect gifts.

What the fug interweave?

Apparently I will not be buying their new "weekend knits" special edition.
