Provisional Cast-On

This is my first official post as a knitting blogger! This will hopefully be my launch pad for experiments and development experiences. I am an obsessive knitter, and I wish I could do it full-time. Alas, there are bills to pay, and my knitting brings in little revenue. I do make items for sale. Generally I'll produce a knitted piece, show it to my customers, and collect orders. Sometimes, a client will want a modification of some kind, and I'm happy to accomodate!

A few facts about how I run my little mini-business (after all, it's just me, myself and I!):

- I'm located in Brooklyn, New York. I have no safe-guards against money-wire fraud, so I deal locally (think Craigslist)
- I buy yarn in small quantities, so once I run out of a particular yarn chances are I won't be able to replenish my stock
- Keeping the above in mind, once an item is gone, it's gone!
- All my items are made by hand, by me
- I give beginner knitting lessons for the very reasonable rate of $30 an hour in the metropolitan area of New York or in my home. Contact me for group sessions.

Most items I post on this blog are available for sale. If they are not, I will try to make a note of it. If I am working from a design by another knitter, for example, it will not be for sale. I ask that you extend the same courtesy to me. I will try to make patterns available when I can, and note my references as faithfully as possible.
