What’s the opposite of progress?
The sock grew and grew. It needs just about an inch more foot before it's time for the toe. But my motivation has, as expected, picked up and gone elsewhere. I've not actually knit a stitch on this in close to a week. The plan is to staple myself to [...]
Still Smitten
Yup, this yarn in the mail thing never ever ever gets old. These lovelies are from Anzula, and I suspect grand things are going to be happening with them! That's dreamy in Gravity. And that's Squishy in Cardamom. And oh my are they lovely. I swear those folks can do [...]
Tiny bubbles
So it's summer, which means I can't go to the grocery store without bringing home more fruit than any two people can eat. And when you have a whole bunch of extra fruit (and you've made your fill of pies, because really there has to be some limit), clearly the [...]
Tidy
The tidy socks of tidiness continue to be unreasonably satisfying. They've reached that 'looks properly like a sock' stage of things, which is always rather motivational. Oh and the other side will do something like this. Of course now I just have to motivate myself to put in the rows [...]
Latterly (plus giveaway)
Half the trick to knitting is balance (balance knits with purls to keep things from curling, balance cables with plain stitches to keep things from squinching up too tight, balance increases with decreases to keep things from changing size). Latterly are a perfect balance between lace (fairly entertaining lace at [...]
More Tricks
Somehow the nifty little magic trick swatch has gone and turned itself into nifty (if rather larger) magic trick socks. Or at least into the start of socks. Funny how that happens! Yarn is some Dirty Water Dye Works' Marie that I got on our trip back in 2013. it [...]
Tiny Magic Tricks
So we all know knitting is already magic. You've got sticks. You've got string. Then you waggle your hands around and you have fabric. But some knitting is extra magical. Sometimes what looks like calm, quiet, stately ribbing on one side? Looks like a knitting dance party on the other [...]
Still Fun
The happy yarn barrage (goodies for next year's book) continues unabated. Today's lovelies are from Malabrigo. We've got some Arroyo in Reflecting Pool. And some Twist in Sealing Wax. And yes, for those playing along at home, that is rather thick, and it might not be what you'd expect for [...]
Haul
So last time I showed off (just a bit) of the pretty from the trip to Maine. But I know you guys are here more for yarn than for general travel festivities. And don't worry, there was yarn. No really I checked. There was. First up, a bit of Malabrigo. [...]
Influence
So a little while ago, a friend said something along the lines of 'have you seen this yarn?' I allowed as how I had not and took a look. It was indeed lovely. Then I happened to notice that the yarn company happened to be vending at the Maine Fiber [...]
