Because we all know that what the world needs most is another knitting blog. It's true!I guess I should start by saying that, though this blog will probably feature many crazy opinions shot out by yours truly, it's really meant as a journal for my designs. I must not let it become a diary for what I drank last night or who shot who or what skin disease I think I have today. Nuh uh. My employers might read this, yo! So while I'd love to have all my thoughts and emotions preserved for future generations, I'll have to bank on them being able to stick my head in a jar before I die. Then Kirsten's Head can post personal blogs well into the 22nd century! Hooray!
Edit: eh, who'm I kidding with this "only design journal" stuff? I already have non-knitting clap trap all over this freaking blog. Still, I'll try to keep it from getting too personal and awkward. People still have to be able to look me in the eye at work, right?

Ha! This blog is going to be awesome!! I like your mission statement.
And no worries about the ripping, like I said, I'm embracing the ripping. And I'd messed up the increases so I was happy to have a do-over. It's really, really fast knitting and I feel like test knitting MUST include ripping =)
Welcome to Blogging! Scarily addictive!
P.S. In your user pic it looks like...you got a haircut?
Alas! This is an old picture. But thanks for noticing!
Hi Kirsten,
Did you ever write instructions for a top-down version of the Child's Park sweater? I noticed that you made the sample top-down, but the instructions I bought from Webs were for bottom-up construction. My project for today is to try to make my own top-down instructions using Barbara Walker's book _Knitting from the Top_ and the stitch counts from the Child's Park pattern. This will be my first foray into top-down knitting, so if you have any notes or advice from your own top-down experience, I'd love to have them.
Thanks!
Heidi
(a big fan of your designs)
