I almost just answered this one yesterday withOUT being tagged…so I was really happy today to see that Sherri actually DID tag me!
Random things:
1) My favorite color is red, but I’ve been knitting with a LOT of purple lately. And on Knitty Gritty, I wore a purple sweater, my glasses are purple, and the sweater I was working on was purple.
2) I LOVE ginger. Candied ginger, ginger in tea, lotions that smell like ginger, and my favorite BPAL is a ginger scent. (Gingerbread Poppet)
3) I keep reading Crime and Punishment only up to the crime. I love Raskolnikov so much that I can’t stand to think of him in jail.
4) I have two 14 year-old cats who are still happy and loving life.
5) I’m thinking more and more about actually going to my 20th high school reunion. Whenever I sign a copy of Fitted Knits for someone, it reminds me of signing yearbooks at the end of the school year.
6) When I knit sweaters from other peoples’ patterns, they never look quite right. I’m still not a very good seamer or direction-follower.
7) When I was about 22, I was ‘discovered’ by a modeling agency at a grunge club in Des Moines, IA. (I did some modeling for fashion students at school, but decided to be an academic, rather than a model.)

BPAL does ginger like nobody’s business — lots of my favorites (Sudha Segara, Kumiho, Pumpkin Queen) have ginger in them. Although Shub, sadly, smelled like Atomic Fireballs and dirt on me.
Stefanie,
This is the only way I could figure out to contact you… I read that you are tall - I’m 5′10″ and I want to thank you for your fabulous Fitted Knits book! What a pleasure to find pattern written that don’t quit at the largest size being a 38″ bust!!! Although I’m not overweight, I have a large frame, broad shoulders & tire of having to do a lot of math just to try to make something fit.
Your book shows that it is possible to make beautiful handknits that have style & detail and shape that aren’t a size 4!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Your new fan,
Joy
Dear Stefanie,
I hate seaming as much as you do, and was wondering why so many of the patterns in your book have sleeves that are knit flat and then seamed. Would it be poosible to knit them in the round?
Thanks,
Emily
