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 [...]

Right now in my house, a weird thing is happening. TG and Bunny are kickin’ it old school and enjoying a bit of gaming action, Sega style. Seriously! Bunny has been begging TG all week to pull out his old Sega gaming system and get it hooked up. See, this past weekend, she found some [...]

So, today I shirked work to spend some time on the things that are important. Things like Bunny’s first day of school. And, I put aside my swap socks to work on my Undulating Waves Scarf. Still no photos of the car, I know. I really have no excuse. Maybe next time.
Flashing the Stashing

So, I figured that I would flash some of the Duet and other yarns that I got whilst in Seattle in a pathetic attempt to distract you from the fact that I still haven’t taken any photos of the car. See, TG has taken the car and parked it in the garage. Turns [...]

So, we flew down to Seattle, WA on Thursday of last week to buy a car from a dealership in Bellevue. Then, we spent five days in Seattle and surrounding areas playing before we drove the two days it took to get home. What did we do? Well, let’s see, we bought lots of yarn… [...]

I finished the second of the five projects that I entered into the Ravelympics. Remember this WIP from last year? Yarn: Misti Pima Cotton Silk in Eggplant, Green, Blue, and Cream. I think I used about 2 skeins each (this stuff has fabulous yardage) to make this crib size. Needles: US 7 Denise [...]

The Sweater of Infinite Joy(Ravelry link) is blocking. In it’s place, I have cast on for another, substantially smaller sweater. I am working on this sweater for Monkey. The pattern is free from Elann and I have been eyeing it for a long time. I had some left over Mission Falls cotton and so in [...]

Erin came out today on a brand new site for free knitting patterns. Go check it out if you haven’t been there already. It’s an amazing site and from what I have seen so far, I think it’s safe to say that this will be another invaluable resource for knitters and designers. In other news, [...]
