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 [...]

Mush-swoon

Oh, so it’s a cheezy title for a blog post. But, seriously, this sweater is making me swoon. I am totally enamoured with the baby cables and velvety softness that is Malabrigo. I know it doesn’t look like much yet, but as far as sweaters go, I think this one will be a hit right [...]

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. [...]
Everything’s Coming Up Roses

Still working on the endless stockinette that is Jane. Coming right along. Miles of stockinette? Check. Rewarding and easy to knit; requiring little thought? Check. Worth it in the end? To be determined. And, worst of all, nothing particularly interesting to talk about today. The kids are all well behaved. I am cleaning closets this [...]
Sweater-itis

I’ve caught the sweater bug again. I guess it was only a matter of time really. So, I cast on for Jane and hopefully this will sufficently scratch that sweater itch. There isn’t much to it yet. But, I like it. Yes, I do. And, I am still waiting to cast on with the Koigu [...]
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 [...]

New Pedicure: New Sock: Finished baby sweater: Get your sweater details here. p.s. I wrote most of this post last night and when I woke up this morning, it was snowing. Perhaps I angered mother nature when I threw caution to the wind and dared to get a pedicure…
Making Good on a Promise

The VaVaVoom Vest is finished. Done Like Dinner. Finito. I have pictures, finally. And, I like it… It fits like a glove and works so well over a black dress shirt and pants. Too bad that winter is nearly over. It almost makes me miss the snow… p.s. The sock yarn vote in my previous [...]
