I finished the Hedera socks today. It would have been sooner, however, I couldn’t find my darning needles for a few days and it’s very hard to Kitchener stitch a toe without a darning needle. So, here they are in all their glory! Pattern: Hedera (Ravelry Link) by Cookie A. Yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy [...]

This is what you get when you pair the prettiest yarn in the world with a fantastic pattern; sheer joy. Really. I loves these socks. Yarn: Hand Dyed by my good friend, Miss Spinknit. This yarn is the product of my very favorite type of dying process – the over-dye. They appear to originally have [...]
Shocking, Indeed

Well, I finally have a FO to show you. Even Bunny is shocked… As I mentioned in my previous post, these were finished while I was recovering from the eye surgery and I finally had a willing model (or two) and some time for photos. Mind you, getting the photos was another project in itself [...]
Christmas Redux

This last month has really kicked my ass and now I am very behind on my Xmas knitting. Between everyone here having the plague (in which I lost 2 weeks!), Monkey getting up again at night (in which I lost countless hours of sleep and knitting time), and general work crap which kept me too [...]
Winner, Winner… Chicken Dinner.

The winner of the skein of yarn is Debbie! The correct number was actually 68. Yup, 68 ends to weave in, all at the end! So tedious, but totally worth it when I cover Monkey up at night and know that she will at least be snuggly warm for the next 39 seconds or so… until [...]
This Morning…

I woke up ready to try it again. Like anything was possible again. Last week was super rough. Seems like there is enough of this feeling going around right now. People seem kind of broken. Maybe it’s the holidays. Doesn’t it seem like, as an adult, it’s Xmas all the time? Really. In knitting news, [...]
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like

Christmas. Baby. The itty-bitty red thing is done. But, since it’s going to be a present, all I can give you is a sneak peek. See, I told you. Red, cabled, small. And, on the home front, things are well. Although, it would be great if someone could explain six year olds to me. [...]

On Rhinebeck (Ok, Not Really)
Posted in FO's, project photos, Rhinebeck, Scarf, Socks, Travel on October 24, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Wow, so I really screwed the pooch messed up and forgot to take any pictures of Rhinebeck. I have pictures of New York, Brooklyn, New Jersey, and even Woodstock, but no pictures, what so ever of Rhinebeck. I think at that point, I was just plain delirious and perhaps a little high on wool fumes [...]
