In the past year I have been blessed with AMAZING opportunities (some are even still to come in their reveal)… However, with these “jobs”, all super-wonderful, comes the challenge of balancing motherhood and designing.  Being a momma wins hands down – every.single.time!  My kiddos are only little once, and I truly, 100% percent, feel called to being present my home (and they will only like me for so long).  As I take stock of what I want to be and where I want to go this year, I really want to focus more on self-publishing, rather than publishing with larger companies…  This will give me less deadline oriented opportunities, AND the creativity and flexibility to focus on what I want to knit!

I have been kicking around an idea for an e-book – simply spun – featuring four or five simple patterns that highlight handspun yarn, but then showcase a commercially spun yarn as well – just to make things, well, simple…  Some of the recent spins I just might use:
