The new Interweave Knits has started to arrive in mailboxes, I guess, because mine showed up this morning. Lo, and behold . . .
It's my profile of Mary Jane Mucklestone.
They used the photos I sent them, which made me feel pretty good (I am no Jared or Michelle). But I cannot take credit for the great shot of Mary Jane herself; my own were pretty miserable. Mary Jane's friend, Emily Rogals, took that particular shot. I'm better with inanimate subjects, like yarn, and afghans (like this one on her couch)
)
or moodboards (like the one in the article, or this one in her "hidey hole" thinking space:
)
Her whole house is a kind of mood board really, not cluttered in the way that such a fact might suggest, just composed in a manner that I found to be riveting, and made me vibrate with excitement to get home and knit some myself. It was a wonderful day, way back in March. Thanks again, Eunny, for asking me to do this, and to Mary Jane, for all the tea and laughs.
I loved the photos - and the article!

I haven't seen the article yet, but the photos here are nice! I love that mood board. I didn't know there was a name for it. My friends call mine a disastrous mess.
