Seems like it’s been a while since I got some time to sit down and type up a proper blog post. But, it’s worth the wait, let me assure you. Remember all those pairs of socks I was contracted to knit? In case you don’t recall, I was actually contracted to knit nine pairs of [...]

Something Grey

It’s been really hectic and quite crazy here at ChezThib. That Big Festive Holiday is almost upon us and consequently, there hasn’t been much knitting. Given the serious lack of available time, it seems that there is nothing better than a little blocking and finishing to make one feel a sense of acomplishment. Here is [...]

I am in full in frogging mode. Yesterday, this: Became this: And this: Became this: And, while I worked up the nerve to spend some time doing demolition, I drank a little, and did some creating in the kitchen. I made Cheddar Pumpkin Muffins. Hooray for pumpkin [...]
A Good Frog

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 am still knitting. In fact, I finished a cowl that I can’t wait to wear with a black sweater. I managed to find a beautiful, and more importantly, willing model. I knit this out of some of my new favorite dyer – Madelinetosh. This is her 80/10/10 MCN sport base in the color Sugar [...]
Afraid…

I realized something about myself this week right after I picked up the Slipped Hours Sweater. I realized that I am a big, fat, chicken when it comes to knitting sweaters. I love the idea; and believe you – me, I have enough sweater quanities of yarn to prove that statement. And, I like the [...]
Socks, Socks, and more Socks

I finshed another pair of socks. Well, I actually finished two pairs, but one pair still needs to be blocked. I think perhaps tonight might just be the night. Pattern: Embossed Leaves by Mona Schmidt Yarn: Wollmeise 100% merino (Were you expecting anything else?) We are all busy fighting off colds, making quiche, and going [...]

It’s been over a month since I last blogged. Wow. Time flies when you are this busy. What’s kept me away? Work, work travel, and contract knitting. I knew it was time to cut down on the work travel when TG and I had this conversation two Monday’s ago: Me: Hi honey. I will be [...]
I’ll Take the Bronze

In the interest of full disclosure, I didn’t make it. I was one and a half sleeves away by mid day today and that’s when I noticed a fatal flaw. Somehow between 10PM and midnight last night, I had crossed a cable in my sleeve the wrong way. And, there was no going back without [...]
