OMG, Terri, what the Ache Eee Double Hockey Sticks have you been doing?!

That’s a loaded question. What HAVEN’T I been up to? If you want the snarky version, I got trapped in @MayorEmanuel’s time warp continuum thingie. If you want the non-snarky version, I’ve been thinking.

Yes. Thinking.

You can start breathing again, thanks so much.

The part of Being A Writer that I don’t like, is that people ask you, what are you working on these days? And you have to come up with an answer that’s just a hair more respectable than sitting in my chair with an iPad in my lap and wondering what I should do next. Eventually you have to tell them what you’re writing, because you’re a Writer, and Write is a VERB.

I don’t know how anyone else manages to come up with stuff, but I take a good long time Thinking, and when I have a cogent thought? I type it up. It’s very simple.

So, I’ve been sitting here in my chair with an iPad in my lap, wondering what to do next, and also, I have been publishing another book.

I think I forgot to mention that. Go to http://norwegianknittingdesigns.com/ amd take a look. It’s up for presale, and I’m very proud of that. Vincent the Printer Guy (if you remember me, you must remember him) should bring me a proof tomorrow.

Then AFTER that book, which you should all buy because it’s a reprint of a FANTATIC vintage book that practically saved traditional knittingin Norway from the ragpile. AFTER that, I decided that what I should type up next is all of the thinking I’ve been doing.

My working title is The Knitting Way, and it will be a series of MEDITATIONS which will sound a whole lot more like meandering than anything formal, and the knitting that inspired them, or was inspired BY them.

Also, I think I might write a history of the yoked sweater.

You’ll notice the blog here is a shambles. I had a falling out with my hosting company when they refused to let me access my data anymore, because the emails to retrieve my hacked password were not coming to me. So I showed them. I moved. The DNS is still up in the air, as we speak, so in the next few days I’ll get things cleaned up here.

Follow me if you’re on Twitter. @terrishea. And I’m in Ravelry. terrishea. I’m fairly consistent in the use of my name.

Ok. So I’ve been thinking, oublishing, and knitting. And tweeting.

What have you been up to?

  1. How good to see a post from you, Terri! And the book is at the printers — how great is that?

    I’ve been knitting. And editing. And lately, reading – reading really cuts into knitting time. I thank God for audiobooks.

    Wow! The sweater looks great! So glad to be able to see the finished product.

  3. Hi Terri! Just thought you might like to know…. there’s already a book called “The Knitting Way” (available at Amazon). You can follow it on FaceBook – http://www.facebook.com/theknittingway.
    And I’m all for more books on ‘thinking’ about knitting! Hey, as one writer to another – Keep On!
    Happy stitches
