Lookie here! Finished socks! Sorry the picture’s a little blurry. The lighting wasn’t great, and while I tried to clean it up a bit, I think all I succeeded in doing was making the blurriness more obvious. It’s a pretty good representation of the color, at least. This was a fun pattern. While it was [...]

I just realized that I didn’t apologize in advance for not having a post on Monday. It was a holiday in the US (Labor Day) and I just didn’t feel like doing anything typical. So instead of writing a blog post, I spent time trying to teach my family how to play Rock Band (with [...]

As I write this, my boyo is playing “Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet,” and between that and the second of today’s WiPs, this is a very twisty blog post. (Or at least it is to me.) I guess the first thing to show today is the progress I’ve made on the second of the Artichoke socks. [...]

So, here we are at another WiP Weds. And this time, I’m back on schedule! I am once again working on what I had planned to: the Artichoke Socks! I am now to the heel flap, and still enjoying every minute of knitting this project. I’m also looking forward to wearing them! In addition, I’ve [...]

So, did any of my blog readers go to Sock Summit this year? (I know there’s a possibility… but it depends on whether the ladies in my S’n’B have recovered from Sock Summit…) I did not. It seems silly for it to be on my coast and such a KNITTING EVENT and not go, but [...]

A quick reminder before the WiP part of the post… if you go to Monday’s post and comment with the name of a song to cheer me up, or a request for cheering of your own, you will be entered to win homemade cards! And you can enter daily for more chances! This week has [...]

Well. After telling you all that I needed to adjust my Artichoke Socks because of my row gauge, it turns out I didn’t need to after all. So I had to rip back a little bit (AGAIN) and continue the instep pattern decreases as written. (This is really a good thing, as the faster decreases [...]

Well, my WiP list is down by one! This is good news. (But it means that I still have two pending FO posts for you… I guess you know what you’ll be getting for the next 2 Fridays in a row…) Since the Emergency Backup Socks have been completed, the Artichoke Socks are my new [...]

It seems that, while I love casting on new projects, I go through phases where I just want to finish things. I am in one of those phases. Don’t get me wrong, I love many of the projects I’m working on. (Maybe that’s why I want to finish them? I want to be able to [...]

I’m a sucker for mysterious things. This makes it odd that I don’t enjoy reading mysteries more than I do. Actually, I suppose it makes sense – I like my mysteries to come with a known happy ending. And mystery books don’t do that. To a degree, mystery knits don’t do that, either. However, if [...]
