The pink mystery thing is starting to take shape. It should now be patently obvious that it is a Sock Monkey a la Blue Moon. This is one of the two kits that I picked up at Rhinebeck and I am trying to get all sock monkeys finished for Christmas for the small people in [...]

Rhinebeck Revisited
Posted in Book Review, Bunny, Life, Monkey, new projects, new yarn, Rhinebeck, Travel on November 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Have you seen this? Pure genius! I bought this at Rhinebeck because I loved the colors and thought that the intarsia strip that is designed to run down the center of the sock was interesting. Little did I know I had so much more to be excited about. The kit, designed by the Tsarina of [...]

I am currently in the process of trying to pare down my WIP’s. See, every so often, something comes over me and I realize that my start-itis has gotten way out of hand and I have so many projects on the needles that I can’t keep them all straight. So, I start working on the [...]
On Rhinebeck (Ok, Not Really)

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 [...]
On Being Prepared

I am getting close to being finished a number of projects; the simple Malabrigo 2×2 rib scarf, my Olive Branch Yoga hoodie, and now, the Go With the Flow socks that I started at the beginning of September. Of course, this leaves me with the ultimate knitters dilemma; what to knit on the [...]
Match-y Match-y

Look what jumped onto my needles. Now that the Malabrigo Mitts are done, I decided that I needed a matching scarf to keep me warm (and stylish) this winter. Truth be told, this scarf, although simple, has been a serious pain in my butt. I actually cast on for it 4 times, [...]

The Malabrigo mittens are finished. They took about 3 days and are the perfect blend of style and function. Pattern: Jack-in-the-Box Mitts by Robin Melanson from Knitting New Mittens and Gloves Yarn: Malabrigo Worsted in Alpine Pearl (these took just under one skein) Needles: US size 6 for the cuff and size 7 for the rest [...]

I am almost finished with the Olive Branch Yoga Hoodie. I was a bit worried this morning when I realized that in about 10 rows I would be done and I have not once, ever tried this sweater on to see if it will fit. So, in a fit of panic, with the thought of [...]

Have I shown you this yet? The wall that TG built is finally done! This wall has been under construction for at least a year and a half and I am so very proud to say it is finished. Well done, husband. Well done. Oh, and the sweater that I put [...]
On Life

Ok, so life has been a little unkind lately. Not so much in a full on kick you in the teeth sort of way, but more so in a hey, check out what’s important to you and make sure you make time for it sort of way. Again, with the cryptic, I know. More details? [...]
