A Crafty Family

On 28 August, 2011 By Liz
My kids love making things almost as much as I do. My teenage daughter makes chain mail jewelry. She does beautiful work, and has sold quite a bit of work locally. She’s planning to create an Etsy shop (note to self: use this to teach her business skills, marketing and accounting), and just gave her [...]

Knitter’s Library Web Page

On 27 August, 2011 By Liz
Most knitters love knitting books, almost as much as they love yarn and needles. There are hundreds, if not thousands of knitting books in print, and more if you cruise the used book stores. How can a knitter know what books are worth buying? I’ve listed many of my favorite knitting books on the Polymath [...]

Website Changes

On 26 August, 2011 By Liz
You may have notices that the Polymath Solution web site has had a lot of additions recently. First, all of the links work. Links that don’t have pages yet will take you to an “under construction” page. Well, I hope all the links work … if you come across one that doesn’t, let me know. [...]

Just Spinning Along

On 27 July, 2011 By Liz
Years ago, I got interested in spinning my own yarn. I lived in the Washington, DC area at the time, and was a regular at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. I bought a couple of books, a spindle, and some Romney top. During that time, as I was walking the neighborhood with my kids, [...]

Hardware Testing Begins

On 25 July, 2011 By Liz
Now that I’m in the Apple Developer program, and have filled out all the required forms, gotten the certificates and portals (and yes, it sometimes does feel like an odd computer game), I am ready to begin hardware testing of the Knit Suite apps. I got Kitchener Stitch to run on my aged iTouch 2G, [...]

Daughters and Yarn Crafts

On 3 July, 2011 By Liz
My teenaged daughter doesn’t knit. She doesn’t think it fits her image as a folk-metal fiddler with blue and green hair. Sigh. But … she is learning to spin. As in, drop spindle. She picked up a bag of dyed fleece (she did a dance gig at a sheep festival) and got a friend of [...]

Knitting Needles and Terrorism

On 21 June, 2011 By Liz
I always found it amusing that the TSA would want to ban knitting from airplane flights. I can understand that loose needles can be a hazard. After all, I stabbed myself 3 times while knitting a mitten thumb on US 0 double points. Stabbed in the leg. While in a car. [No, I wasn’t driving.] [...]

Website Woes

On 17 June, 2011 By Liz
So, the “corporate” website is up and running, though it will need some cleaning up and feeding … it is a baby after all. I then turned to working on my Knit Suite launch page. If you don’t know, a launch page is the page that promotes a product that does not yet exist; a [...]

The Website Takes Shape

On 5 June, 2011 By Liz
We’re busy adding pages and functionality to the website. Today’s work: adding a page listing knitting patterns for sale. The pattern purchasing system works through the knitting mega-forum, Ravelry, though you don’t need to be a member of Ravelry to order. Payments are made via Paypal. Once there’s a bit of free time in the [...]

Welcome to the official blog of Polymath Solution. We’re in the process of giving birth right now, hope it’s not breech … … Ahh … it’s a blog! Still a bit messy though it will shape up over time.
