The title quote popped up on my iGoogle today, it’s by Bill Watterson who wrote the Calvin and Hobbes cartoons. I thought it pretty fitting! You may have noticed that I’ve been away from the blog. I certainly have not been taking a break, however. January brings the time of year that all self-employed people [...]

For my non-knitting readers (or those who do knit, but are starting to get the feeling that WIP’s aren’t going to turn into FO’s in time), I’d like to mention my little custom scarf knitting service. Choose two colors, and I will knit up (on my nifty manual knitting machine) a beautiful striped rugby scarf, [...]

One of the fun bits of being in the fiber business is that you get to receive very large boxes of stuff. I know my children appreciate it, as they get to make a number of box cars, space ships, etc. Well today is my birthday, and whether I subconsciously worked it out this way [...]

Although it may seem that all I’ve been doing is Star & Stripes, I have been tossing in skeins and tops of other colors when I had a spare few minutes! Here’s the fruits of my labors, and my project this afternoon is to get them all listed in the shop. Enjoy the eye candy! [...]

Whew! The past two days has been rather hair pulling, since my host was attacked by a virus on Thursday afternoon. I didn’t have access to this blog at all, and I was forced to download and delete the virus myself several times so that I could get warning and such up on the website. [...]

What are you doing to conserve and help our Earth? Although it seems tough to do the big things (like hybrid cars and solar panels), even little things help make a difference. To honor Earth Day, I’d like to share with you some of the ways ThePaintedTiger has gone ‘green’. 1. Packaging. Yep, I gotta [...]

One of my fun new-ish products is the Fillet of Sole sock blanks. I started them on a whim to win a contest at Yarny-Goodness, and have now adopted them into my regular line. I like painting them, there are things you can do with color that just isn’t possible any other way. Lately, I’ve been [...]

Ready for a picture marathon? November was NaKniSweMo (National Knit a Sweater Month), and I tried to participate in the effort (along with other fans of Stash and Burn). I worked away on my Einstein Sweater, and did manage to get the skirt portion completed. I’ll count that as victory, and the project is set [...]

It’s that season again, so it seems like a good time to mention the original side of ThePaintedTiger….. custom knit striped rugby scarves. How is this done, you may ask? You simply choose two colors from my list of Red, Burgundy, Orange, Yellow, Gold, Green, Hunter, Blue, Navy, Grey, Brown, Cream, White, and Black (other [...]

Here on what we affectionately call the ‘Pool Table’ (green was all they had at the store, and our oak table couldn’t withstand the boy without impervious vinyl…) is the June shipment of SSSYC, including pre-orders for Stars & Stripes, Forever. Rainbow Brite Stripe pre-orders should ship next Friday, but the weather is continuing to be [...]
