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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

Wow, I just realized that it has been almost a month since I last blogged. How did that happen? I may never know. Would you like to see what I have been doing? I knit me some Monkeys out of Wollmeise 100% sockenwolle in Terra di Sienna. I started a couple of Kitty Pi’s And [...]

Well, thanks to Claire, I can officially say that I have a new obsession and my cup runeth over. Actually, my obsession is your gain as my cup runeth too far over. I will be bringing these to the guild meeting Wed night. Here is just a little taste of the excesses of my riches. [...]
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 [...]

Success! Two socks, knit on the same needle; finished at the same time! Pattern: My own 64 stitch ribbed socks (this time with a slightly larger gusset to accomodate recipients higher instep) Yarn: Arucania Ranco in orangish color (Ravelry lists this as a sport weight. It is so not.) Needles: US 1 (2.25mm) More details [...]

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 [...]
