Wandering eye
The sock has continued to grow. It's actually even a bit longer than this now (I finished the gusset and got about 8 rows into the foot proper in my last fit of nobility. But I fear for its future, for I have an idea. An idea for something to [...]
Three is the magic number
In February and May I talked about the first two Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet books. it was unreasonably fun to go back and reminisce a bit about making them, and so I wanted to be sure to talk a bit about Volume III as well. Just like last time, I’ve put [...]
Clearly a sock
Yes, more progress! No it's not done. Won't likely be done for another month at least. Because I'm lazy and shiftless I have lots of things competing for my time I'm taking my time and enjoying the process. Yeah, that's it. That's totally it.
Bite sized goals
I'll be over here giving myself the 'tiny steps add up' pep talk, mkay? We knitters are awfully good at that. Entire pairs of socks are tens of thousands of stitches. That's far too hard to think about. I will, instead, be thinking just about this next row here. Possibly [...]
Curls 2
So, guess what happens next month. I'll give you a little hint. Not quite enough? How about this! I've got a wee little stack of advances in (and oh my are they lovely). I'll be getting ready on this end (and working out a little scheme to get advance copies [...]
Small steps
No, no the cabled socks are not done. The cabled socks likely won't be done until it does something drastic like start to snow. But there has been progress. And you know what, some days forward momentum is all you can really ask for. So we'll call it a win [...]
Not just rhubarb
The shrub thing really is a sickness around these parts. I did rhubarb and strawberry just a little while ago, and now I've got some cherry going as well. This really is ten minutes of chopping, two minutes of stirring with the sugar, 30 seconds of glugging in the cider [...]
Midpoint
As predicted, a bit of time tucked up at home with the sock was just the ticket. First it was very nearly a sock. Then it was quite definitely a sock. Now all it needs is a mate. It's anyone's guess when that will happen. I'll likely need a few [...]
Enchase
So you know those itty bitty twisty cables? The ones that are so tidy and perfect and downright methodical that you just sort of turn yourself over to them and go happily along for the ride? Yeah, that's what Enchase are all about! And, full disclosure, tiny cables like this [...]
Well Begun
Well then, that's the first big step for next year's book all sorted. The last of the yarns are in, and they're lovely. That's sweetgeorgia's Cashluxe Fine in Terra Firma. And that's their Superwash Sport in Goldmine. Both delightful, as sweetgeorgia always is. Both already swatched and properly sorted into [...]
