Bits and Pieces
Published On: August 10, 2012

There is absolutely no coherent theme to my life this week.  This means there is very little in the way of cohesion in the blog posts either.  Sorry guys, it’s that sort of day week life.   So, in no particular order:

Rabble Rousers is up on amazon now if you happen to feel a terrible itch to buy it there as opposed to from me directly (sometimes it’s easier for folks overseas, so I like to have both options for everyone).

The marvelous Carol Sulcoski has a review of Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet (plus one to give away) if you’re feeling the need for one.  And since she says it there, I’m guessing it’s no longer a secret and I can share too.  I’ve got a pattern in her upcoming book, Sock Yarn Studio, which comes out in October.  I’m just itching to see this book, I have a sneaking suspicion it will be awfully nifty!  Stay tuned for more about that as we get closer to October (oh god…can we please hold off on October…I’m not ready for the fall yet).

Despite the crazy week, I have made progress on the sock.  Remember what it looked like last time?  Remember what the finished one looks like?  Yeah, the partially finished one looks like the finished one down to about the ball of the foot.  That means I’ve got 2ish inches of plain foot and a toe to go.  With luck, and maybe some sort of mild sedative, it should be done this weekend.

And just as a reminder, this is the last day to leave a comment (scroll down to find the post) to win some of Handmaiden’s ridiculously amazing Silk Twist.  Comments close tonight and winners (plus one more giveaway) are announced early next week!  In the meantime, you can still get Whippersnapper (my favorite Plucky Knitter pattern) for free with the purchase of any other pattern through the end of this weekend.  Details in this post if you’re interested.
