I finished the Mushroom sweater on October 22, 2009. I don’t know why I haven’t blogged about it sooner. It fits like a dream. I swear. I used less than four balls of Malabrigo and added about 3 inches of length. I normally have to do this because most patterns don’t [...]

Wow, I just realized that it has been almost a month since I last blogged. How did that happen? I may never know. Would you like to see what I have been doing? I knit me some Monkeys out of Wollmeise 100% sockenwolle in Terra di Sienna. I started a couple of Kitty Pi’s And [...]

Success! Two socks, knit on the same needle; finished at the same time! Pattern: My own 64 stitch ribbed socks (this time with a slightly larger gusset to accomodate recipients higher instep) Yarn: Arucania Ranco in orangish color (Ravelry lists this as a sport weight. It is so not.) Needles: US 1 (2.25mm) More details [...]

The Marlene Socks are finished. Digging these. I made these exactly as the pattern called for, using sport weight yarn. I know there are a lot of you out there that have made these in fingering weight. I don’t get it. How could it even be possible that they would go over a human sized [...]

Hey, remember the Clapotis that I posted about back at the beginning of May? Well, I am finally at the dropping stitches part. I had forgotten how liberating dropping stitches can be. I really didn’t like Manos at first. I kind of felt like it was the uglier cousin of Malabrigo. Sort of the black [...]
The first Cookie A. KAL socks are done. A huge thanks to all those who voted. The pairing of yarn and pattern couldn’t have been more perfect! I will be casting on for the second pair of the KAL on Monday, June 1, so you have until Sunday night sometime to get in a vote [...]

New Pedicure: New Sock: Finished baby sweater: Get your sweater details here. p.s. I wrote most of this post last night and when I woke up this morning, it was snowing. Perhaps I angered mother nature when I threw caution to the wind and dared to get a pedicure…

The VaVaVoom Vest is finished. Done Like Dinner. Finito. I have pictures, finally. And, I like it… It fits like a glove and works so well over a black dress shirt and pants. Too bad that winter is nearly over. It almost makes me miss the snow… p.s. The sock yarn vote in my previous [...]

Yesterday, I finished a Sock Monkey. Don’t you just love the bows on her ears? While I love the finished product, I did not love the process as much. I don’t know why, but the whole thing seemed fiddly, tedious, and n0t at all portable like a good pair of socks usually turns out to [...]
