Long after the gardening gloves are put away for good… …after the flowers have wilted and died… …and not long after the last steak has been BBQ’ed… It will be Sweater Time again! Yup, it’s that time of year again where my thoughts turn to falling leaves, Halloween, and dare I say it, SNOW! I [...]

This may well be my last post before Sock Summit. So, without further ado, here are the finished Eunice Socks. All the details here. I still say they look like tree bark socks. There is still time to vote on the next pair of socks in the Cookie A. KAL. So, go vote, damnit! Check [...]
Working Through It

Last night, I turned the heel on the Eunice socks. Then I tried them on and TG said that they looked like tree bark. I think he’s right. At least they don’t look like squids anymore. I have also made quite a bit of progress on the Jane sweater. Not many photos of this one. [...]
The Ayes Have It

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 [...]
Obsessive

Last night, my husband told me I am obsessed. With yarn. To which, I of course told him; I am so not. I mean, when you look at this definition, it doesn’t sound so nice, right? ob·ses·sion n. Compulsive preoccupation with a fixed idea or an unwanted feeling or emotion, often accompanied by symptoms of [...]

The Marlene Socks are finished. Digging these. I made these exactly as the pattern called for, using sport weight yarn. I know there are a lot of you out there that have made these in fingering weight. I don’t get it. How could it even be possible that they would go over a human sized [...]

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 [...]
I’ve Got the Clap Again, Baby

Hey, remember the Clapotis that I posted about back at the beginning of May? Well, I am finally at the dropping stitches part. I had forgotten how liberating dropping stitches can be. I really didn’t like Manos at first. I kind of felt like it was the uglier cousin of Malabrigo. Sort of the black [...]
The first Cookie A. KAL socks are done. A huge thanks to all those who voted. The pairing of yarn and pattern couldn’t have been more perfect! I will be casting on for the second pair of the KAL on Monday, June 1, so you have until Sunday night sometime to get in a vote [...]

Well, it looks as though you all were bang on regarding the Lilac Mist Squoosh sock yarn that you choose for Glynis. See how pretty? Given that you all were so right the last time, let’s see if you can work your magic again and come up with something just right for this months sock. [...]
