Seems like it’s been a while since I got some time to sit down and type up a proper blog post. But, it’s worth the wait, let me assure you. Remember all those pairs of socks I was contracted to knit? In case you don’t recall, I was actually contracted to knit nine pairs of [...]

Something Fishy

I managed to get Bunny to slow down long enough this weekend to take some pics of a hat I finished earlier this year. It’s the Dead Fish hat from Knitty. I knit this hat out of some scrap Malabrigo and some hand spun that I had lying around and I think you will agree, [...]

Somehow, in the earlier part of this year, I managed to commit myself to 9 pairs of socks on contract. Which, when all is said and done, is frankly, a lot. A lot of socks. And, I have been slogging along on these in between some other light knitting to keep myself sane. I have [...]

I am still knitting. In fact, I finished a cowl that I can’t wait to wear with a black sweater. I managed to find a beautiful, and more importantly, willing model. I knit this out of some of my new favorite dyer – Madelinetosh. This is her 80/10/10 MCN sport base in the color Sugar [...]

I finshed another pair of socks. Well, I actually finished two pairs, but one pair still needs to be blocked. I think perhaps tonight might just be the night. Pattern: Embossed Leaves by Mona Schmidt Yarn: Wollmeise 100% merino (Were you expecting anything else?) We are all busy fighting off colds, making quiche, and going [...]

It’s been over a month since I last blogged. Wow. Time flies when you are this busy. What’s kept me away? Work, work travel, and contract knitting. I knew it was time to cut down on the work travel when TG and I had this conversation two Monday’s ago: Me: Hi honey. I will be [...]
Off. Like M’bra.

So, TG and I are hopping off into the Skies and heading out to the city of beads. That’s right, we are headed off to New Orleans for almost Mardi Gras. And, no, despite the title of this blog post, I won’t be showin’ my 38 longs and collecting beads. We are going for the [...]

I’m Looking for Something in Red

I really need to get my butt in gear and take some pics of my knits in progress as there are a few noteworthy projects on the needles right now. But, honestly, it is so dark by the time that I get home that I just can’t seem to bring myself to take any photos. [...]
Here Fishy Fishy Fishy

I have a sore throat. So, I thought the right thing to do would be to get in a blog post before the thing that is to be a head cold takes over my body and I am no longer able to make sense at all. I knit a fish. It is also a hat. [...]
