I finally got to cast on for Eunice with the yarn y’all choose way back in May. Great pairing! These pics don’t really do the socks justice. In fact, they look a bit like a giant squid. See the creepy eyes? Hopefully the next photos are a little less squid like and a little more [...]

I have overextended myself a little lately and consequently, I have been forced to rush a little to meet some deadlines. We spent the weekend landscaping. It was some tough, let me tell you! Another project taking up a lot of my time is the Cookie A. KAL project #2. For some reason, I decided [...]
Sweater-itis

I’ve caught the sweater bug again. I guess it was only a matter of time really. So, I cast on for Jane and hopefully this will sufficently scratch that sweater itch. There isn’t much to it yet. But, I like it. Yes, I do. And, I am still waiting to cast on with the Koigu [...]

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…
Socks, Begun.

Dudes, I think these socks may be cursed. It’s too soon to tell, just yet; but look at the yarn barf that I ended up with yesterday. But, fear not, all is right with the world again. I got it rewound (only took 6 tries, seriously!) and have cast on for Glynis. I love this [...]
Too Much; Too Much

I have so very much to show you. I have been such a busy girl this past week. The yarn? Hazel Knits in 117 Chuckanut Drive. Bought while on vacation in Seattle (the first time) and cast on the other night. Didn’t even know these were a self-striping. I suspect the dyer didn’t actually plan [...]

An new vest cast it’s way into my heart the other day. This is going to be the U-Neck Vest from Fitted Knits when it’s done. Right now, it’s just a bunch of circular ribbing. And, at the guild meeting last week, I scored a skein of Wollmeise 80/20 Fluffy Wildthing in Indischrot from blogless [...]
Casting Off; Casting On

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 [...]
Did I Mention

Last night, I turned the heel on the new STR sock club sock and in a flurry of knitting, worked my way almost to the toe. I loved the slipstitch (purl) heel so very very much that I stopped mid heel to snap a few pictures for posterity. The heels are made by slipping knit [...]

I know last week I was all about the new Cat Bordhi sock, and while I had the best of intentions to stay loyal to that sock, this week everything changed when I went to the mail. And found this: I haven’t loved a kit this much since the Monsoon kit that came out in [...]
