Crafty Detour

The Crafty Musings of Heather, Ida, and Sarah

Playing Catch-up

August28

Ida,

I know what you mean about slacking off. It must be this time of year, because I have fallen woefully behind in just about every project.

Good news, CSI is still on track. I’m glad to have had a head start, I’m definitely seeing the benefits now! Other projects in the pipeline have been languishing as well.

Ideas seem to spring up in the least expected places. I think it has to do with relaxation. When you step away from problems, your brain continues the process. (I could digress into a whole post on parallel processing and neural nets, but I won’t ;) ) For me, ideas come best in the morning when I still feel too tired to do any real thinking. That usually means in the shower or on my commute to work.

Maybe it happens at this time of year because we are trying to hang onto the last threads of summer. School is starting, and with that comes busy times like Holiday knitting!

Have you started Holiday knitting? Is it too soon to ask? I can image a round of grumbles at the thought. I’m not quite ready, but I am ready for AUTUMN! I’ve had enough of the heat for one year, bring on the snow!

Love,

Heather

Heather, Ida, and Sarah welcome you to Crafty Detour. What is Crafty Detour?

It’s kind of like a podcast, but without audio. A place where Knit-a-While, Sairy Knits, and Digitalnabi come together to provide a three part perspective where other blogs usually only provide one. It’s truly a detour from our usual blogging which we will continue to do on our own sites. CraftyDetour is a joint venture that will enable collaborative projects in the future.

Heather is the creative director for The Alpaca Yarn Company. She also designs knitwear, teaches, and blogs here: digitalnabi.com. She’s web programmer by day, a designer by night and a knitter always.

Ida is a knitter, foodie, freelance editor and author, and the publisher of Knitting Purls. She is apparently addicted to blogging. You can follow her on Knit-a-While, The Thinking Knitter, and The Evolving Sock Knitter.

Sarah is a researcher/analyst for a stock indexing company – a job that keeps her on her toes! She has been knitting since starting graduate school for Applied Statistics in 2005.  Sarah knits, spins, and dyes yarn and roving for her etsy shop: Stitches ‘n Rows. Her personal blog is Sairy Knits where she tries to blog about finished objects, test knitting, her fat cat Haley, food, and whatever else is on her mind when she can remember.
