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 [...]

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 [...]

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? [...]
