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 [...]

A Little Help Here Please
Posted in new yarn, Socks, yarn stuffs on May 10, 2009 | 7 Comments »
It seems as though I have a little problem with indecision. A big problem, actually. See, I signed up for a knit along for Cookie A.’s new book; Sock Innovation. And, the idea is that we will KAL one sock from the book (in order) each month. But, I have a problem with which yarn [...]
This Morning…

I woke up ready to try it again. Like anything was possible again. Last week was super rough. Seems like there is enough of this feeling going around right now. People seem kind of broken. Maybe it’s the holidays. Doesn’t it seem like, as an adult, it’s Xmas all the time? Really. In knitting news, [...]

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 [...]
Flashing the Stashing

So, I figured that I would flash some of the Duet and other yarns that I got whilst in Seattle in a pathetic attempt to distract you from the fact that I still haven’t taken any photos of the car. See, TG has taken the car and parked it in the garage. Turns [...]
…And We’re Back

So, we flew down to Seattle, WA on Thursday of last week to buy a car from a dealership in Bellevue. Then, we spent five days in Seattle and surrounding areas playing before we drove the two days it took to get home. What did we do? Well, let’s see, we bought lots of yarn… [...]
Ravelympics

I finished the second of the five projects that I entered into the Ravelympics. Remember this WIP from last year? Yarn: Misti Pima Cotton Silk in Eggplant, Green, Blue, and Cream. I think I used about 2 skeins each (this stuff has fabulous yardage) to make this crib size. Needles: US 7 Denise [...]
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? [...]
Is it Tuesday Again?

I have been on the fence lately about lace knitting. I keep buying lace yarn, because I want so much to be a lace knitter. However, I am forced to face the fact that my lace knitting spends more time in the time out basket than in my hands. Oh well, I shall persevere. As [...]
Needle in a Haystack

Have I shown you the dpn tubes that I picked up from a friend? I loves these. I actually lost a needle a few weeks ago. I stood up to go plug my meter and when I came back and sat down, the needle from one of my socks was gone! Seriously. So, to combat [...]
