I was all set to come and show you a pair of finished socks today. But, then last night, I realized I had made a fatal flaw in the socks just before I started my decreases for the toe. I made the error just after I finished the heel and somehow totally managed to ignore [...]

The Slog

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 fully expect to cast off the right front of my Fireside Sweater tonight. See how far I have come in just two and a half days? And, I was totally right about this yarn. Soft, yet sproingy. Perfect. See you in another day or so for a check in.
A Round of Applause Please

I started another clap. This one is being knit out of the Wollmeise; but this time I am using a color called Krauterbeet. It’s also not for me. Once I finish this clapotis, I have only one more pair of socks to knit and I can call the contract knitting quits. Wish me speedy needles.
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. [...]
Throwing Caution to the Wind

A new sweater jumped onto my needles a while back. It’s being knit in fingering weight and has a gajillion stitches. So, the progress has been slow and not very picture worthy to date. This morning though, I decided I had enough of a sweater to really show off the amazing color that is the [...]
It’s Been Awhile

I haven’t had the posting Mojo lately. I think I have been spending too much time on Ravelry. I did cast on for a pair of socks though. These are being knit out of that new fangled merino/cashmere/nylon blend that all the kids are raving about these days. You can’t tell that these are Sunshine [...]
Mush-swoon

Oh, so it’s a cheezy title for a blog post. But, seriously, this sweater is making me swoon. I am totally enamoured with the baby cables and velvety softness that is Malabrigo. I know it doesn’t look like much yet, but as far as sweaters go, I think this one will be a hit right [...]
I Am Learned

Check these out. Notice anything different? Yes, they are pretty. And yes, you may have guessed that they are being knit magic-loop style. But what you may not have noticed is that they are both being knit on the same circ! At the same time. I picked up this handy new way of knitting socks [...]
I Saw Some Yellow Leaves Yesterday

Long after the gardening gloves are put away for good… …after the flowers have wilted and died… …and not long after the last steak has been BBQ’ed… It will be Sweater Time again! Yup, it’s that time of year again where my thoughts turn to falling leaves, Halloween, and dare I say it, SNOW! I [...]
