Lady Wynwood #7 early release Kickstarter

I worked on my first Kickstarter and it got approved! It’s for the Special Edition Hardcover of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 1: Archer and the release of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster. I contacted my graphic designer about the Special Edition Hardcover of vol. 1: Archer—it’s going to be SO beautiful! The Kickstarter focuses on the Special Edition Hardcover, but it’ll also include vol. 7: Spinster so that it’ll sort of be like a launch day for vol. 7, too. A third special thing that’ll be in the Kickstarter is Special Edition Paperbacks of all the books in the series. They won’t be available in stores, just in the Kickstarter (and later, from my website, and also in my Patreon book box tiers if I decide to do them). The Kickstarter is not live yet, but you can follow it to be alerted when it has launched. (You may need to create a free Kickstarter account.) Follow Camy’s Kickstarter

Monday prayers

Captain's Log, Stardate 12.26.2005

Oops, I was too busy yesterday to do my Sunday prayers. My husband and I led music for worship at church, so we were up bright and early.

Anybody have prayer requests? Leave them in the comments and I’ll be praying this week. You don’t have to be Christian to leave a prayer request. If you’d rather not advertise to everyone on the blogosphere, just leave an unspoken prayer request.

Not to be mean or anything, but if you don't email me or comment to update your prayer request, I'm only going to pray 3 Sundays. I've got a couple fly-by prayer requests and a growing list.

Lord God, thank you for this opportunity to come before you. Thank you for Christmas, for this season to remember your love for us.

Please be with Squirl in India. Continue to bless and protect her.

Give Pammer your strength and peace this season, despite all her cares and worries. Please provide for her. Help the car continue to work well.

I pray Julie's lumps are benign--give wisdom to the doctors, and I pray for no delays or complications. Please heal her leg, shoulder and wrists, and help her husband's recovery go swiftly and smoothly. I pray against the spiritual warfare in her life, and ask you to cover her with your peace. Lift her spirits with an awareness of you watching over her.

Please be with Heather and protect her from spiritual warfare.

Give Dineen rest and peace. Rejuvenate her for the new year.

Bless Robin during this busy season. Provide Emily a protector, and grant her your peace.

Give Ronie more of you in all she does.

Help Ron continue to persevere in his writing.

Please lead Gina to the right agent, and continue to give her peace during the waiting.

Please give Crystal direction and affirmation for her writing.

Help Mir continue with her writing and push through. I pray for healing for her ears and her left eye. Please also infuse her with energy and focus.

Give Paula your peace and joy.

Please help Megan be more productive in her writing time. Please give her confidence and your direction and affirmation for her writing. I also pray you guide her to the right crit partners.

Please comfort Robyn during this time.

I lift up Lori to you and pray for whatever decision she needs to make with her ACL injury after the MRI in January.

Help Donna's next book be yours and not hers.

Help Gail continue to recover from knee surgery smoothly and quickly. Be also with her daughter Brenda during chemo, and I pray you will help treatments go smoothly with minimal discomfort.

Help Janice transition smoothly, and give her wisdom with her daughters. Please provide for her, Lord.

Please give Heather G. wisdom and guidance about her friendships and self-esteem, and please guide her to a good church.

Give wisdom to the doctors Malia goes to about her knee. Please heal her.

Help Yim recover smoothly and quickly from her wisdom teeth surgery.

Please help Mimi's manuscript be put in front of the publishers you desire, and guide her husband to the right ministry job.

Father, please heal Amber from her severe injuries. We lift her up to you. Please cover her with your power.

Please help me continue to heal from my surgery, and help me be productive and disciplined with my writing time.

Father, cover your people with your peace, courage, and love, wherever they are and whatever they face in your name.

Lord, you are holy. Amen.

Thanks, Camy-girl! I so appreciate your prayers. Praying for your healing too.

I would love prayers for direction in my writing for 2006. What agent? What editor? etc. Thank you!

Happy New Year!

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th

Toilet seat cover

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Update August 2008: I wrote up the pattern for this with "improvements"! Here's the link to my No Cold Bums toilet seat cover ! Okay, remember a few days ago I was complaining about the cold toilet seat in my bathroom? Well, I decided to knit a seat cover. Not a lid cover, but a seat cover. I went online and couldn’t find anything for the seat, just one pattern for the lid by Feminitz.com . However, I took her pattern for the inside edge of the lid cover and modified it to make a seat cover. Here it is! It’s really ugly stitch-wise because originally I made it too small and had to extend it a couple inches on each side. I figured I’d be the one staring at it, so who cared if the extension wasn’t perfectly invisible? I used acrylic yarn since, well, that’s what I had, and also because it’s easy to wash. I’ll probably have to wash this cover every week or so, but it’s easy to take off—I made ties which you can see near the back of the seat. And

Psalm 119:11

Psalm 119:11 I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. Dear Lord, Thank you for your wonderful Word so that you can speak to our hearts and help us to know you. Thank you for showing us who you are and who we could be through the Bible. Thank you for guiding us to live in righteousness. Please help us so that we may not sin against you but put you above everything else in our lives. Amen Psalms 119:11 わたしは仰せを心に納めています／あなたに対して過ちを犯すことのないように。 親愛なる主よ、 私たちの心に語りかけ、私たちがあなたを知ることができるように、あなたの素晴らしい御言葉をありがとうございます。聖書を通して、あなたがどのような方であり、私たちがどのような者になりうるかを示してくださってありがとうございます。私たちが義に生きることができるように導いてくださり、ありがとうございます。どうか、私たちがあなたに対して罪を犯すことなく、私たちの人生において何よりもあなたを優先することができるように助けてください。 アーメン

One-Skein Pyrenees Scarf knitting pattern

I got into using antique patterns when I was making the scarf my hero wears in my Regency romance, The Spinster’s Christmas . I wanted to do another pattern which I think was in use in the Regency period, the Pyrenees Knit Scarf on pages 36-38 of The Lady's Assistant for Executing Useful and Fancy Designs in Knitting, Netting, and Crochet Work, volume 1, by Jane Gaugain, published in 1840. She is thought to be the first person to use knitting abbreviations, at least in a published book, although they are not the same abbreviations used today (our modern abbreviations were standardized by Weldon’s Practical Needlework in 1906). Since the book is out of copyright, you can download a free PDF copy of the book at Archive.org. I found this to be a fascinating look at knitting around the time of Jane Austen’s later years. Although the book was published in 1840, many of the patterns were in use and passed down by word of mouth many years before that, so it’s possible these are

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures
