The Daily Skein is written and run by me, Cailyn Meyer. I live in Snoqualmie, Washington with my husband and two cats. Although my cats enjoy chewing on the cables of my circs and my husband can’t quite understand why I need more yarn, I spend a lot of my time knitting. I love all sorts of other crafts too and hope to spread that joy around with my blog. I intend to offer all the knitting/crochet/other projects/patterns I create for free. I’m currently obsessed with knitting (hence the title,) so that will be the main thrust of the blog for the foreseeable future, but there will be other crafts as well.
I also enjoy such varied and sundry activities like biking, kayaking, hiking, and skiing (seasonal, of course.) They’ll probably show up here sometimes too.
Here’s a picture of me and DH (stands for “dear husband” in most forums; I haven’t decided yet if I want to use his name on the blog since it’s a craft blog and all) at Whistler on one of the rare sunny days!
A friend showed me your site yesterday. I really appreciated the Puzzle Ball pattern. My kids loved their (gift) ball when they were little, and now I can finally make some for friends. The directions are well written (all the pix were really helpful) and sound reasonably easy. Here’s hoping…
FYI – For years I was a knitter, but after living in Arizona for many years I got away from that. More years doing counted x-stitch, and now quilting (hand piecing and hand quilting.) Using a sewing machine is new for me, but I’m having fun. My quilts sure work up faster than when it was all done by hand.
Who knows what’s next?

For the queen of diamonds glove patterns when it says to drop a stitch, do you just drop it off the needle? Could you please e-mail me with the answer?
Thanks,

Hello! I run a newsletter for some spinners and knitters in NH, and was wondering if I could put your mouse pattern in my newsletter.
Thanks and Happy New Year!
Thank you for asking, Jess; that would be wonderful! I’d love it if you could include my blog’s address in the newsletter, too. I’m happy you like the mouse pattern; I have to make a new mouse soon since the first has been so “well-loved.”
