on sarafinaWho's behind this site?
Here I am knitting in the stern of Sarafina, our sailing home for five years. Stretched out on my knitting bag is Hobbes, the ship's cat. My husband and I sold nearly everything we owned and moved aboard a 36' sailboat. I started out with several skeins of stash and gradually accumulated a bin full of yarn cleverly disguised in the stern berth as "linen storage." Knitting was a great companion on long passages from Maine to the Bahamas. We moved back to land in Essex, Connecticut. As well as bringing my stash ashore (with room to expand), I came back into my knitting group, a group of eleven women we call Knitbliss...ah bliss. The A to Z book was created for them with my love of drawing, knitting, design, and with my joy at having room to work, in a place that wasn't rocking and rolling.

What's on my needles...

Block by block the Forest Path Stole for my daughter is growing. It's a very satisfying, although slow, project. Just when I think I have the three botanical patterns in hand I end up with an odd stitch or an extra hole. For a view of the whole piece, so far, click on the photo.
