The first Spring Forward sock has sprung off the needles and the second one has jumped onto my needles. I think that the Duet Skinny is now my new favorite sock yarn. Just the perfect balance of sproingy and smooshy. As well, I have been working on the Embossed Leaves socks in Conjoined [...]

Socks & Socks Again
Posted in Bunny, new projects, new yarn, project photos, yarn stuffs on June 25, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I joined Summer of Socks (SOS 2008) a few months ago with some pretty lofty ideals. See, I have a whole schwack of sock yarn that calls to me to knit and yet, I am extraordinarily distractable and a huge hoarder collector and so I never seem to knit much of the sock yarn that I [...]
No Knitting

No time for knitting in this house. The animals kids are keeping me uber busy. I haven’t had a spare minute to knit the last few days and therefore, have nothing to show for it. However, I did get a great package from my Loopy Ewe/ Ravelry swap pal, who coincidentally owns Keegan Lane Yarns. [...]

But red socks are for me. According to Ravelry, I cast on for the Serendipity socks on April 22. Let me just say, for the record, that I am totally and completely in love with these socks. Truly, madly, deeply in love with these socks. I finished the first one in record time and am now crusing along with [...]

Seriously! What the heck is going on with our weather? On Thursday, Bunny was out riding her bike and we were contemplating taking off the training wheels this weekend. On Friday, the bike looked like this. I have also been knitting. However, since going back to work, I have much less time to [...]

Last night was knit night at my LYS and it came complete with presents and cake. This truly is the birthday that keeps on giving. Thanks to everyone that wished me a Happy Birthday. It was nice to celebrate with good friends. And, can you believe that for my b-day, my good friend gifted me some Sweet [...]
These are a Few of my Favorite Things

I don’t have much in the way of knitting to show you today. I am working on the Entrelac Baby blanket (remember that?) which doesn’t really get much more interesting as it grows and I have hit a snag (again) in the SOTS II lace pattern – once again, I have tried to tink back [...]

So much has happened in the last nine days. We have all had the flu, myself and Monkey included, which has contributed to the lack of blog posting. Also, I have been gearing up to teach my sock class 101 that I committed to teaching at Make One on Monday nights. Concidentially, I taught my [...]
On the Wagon…

I have owned the same watch for the last, um, decade or so and it was a gift from a very ex-boyfriend and was quite possibly stolen by said ex. I like it well enough, but lately, it occurred to me that it might be time to get a new watch. So, with that intention [...]
Baby Steps

It’s finally been cool enough for Monkey to wear the baby sockettes that I knit for her out of left over sock yarn back in April. I absolutely love these and they kept her little feets super snuggly and warm while we were out at the lake this week. I am so glad that they [...]
