Not Dead
Do you remember that feeling you'd get in school right before you handed in a big paper? The absolute conviction you left something out, or put two pages in the wrong order, or that some really important word doesn't mean quite what you think it does and you used it [...]
Totally A Sock
I've checked, this is totally a sock. It has all of the sock parts you need to officially declare it a sock. Even non-knitters could successfully identify it. The only question is how long will it take me to do the second one. We all know it will be a [...]
Growing
The sock continues to grow! Funny how fast that plain bit in the middle goes...there might be something to all those folks who like more sedate socks. But the plain bit is rapidly approaching its end (which is good, because while it's fast, it's not exactly holding my attention). We'll [...]
TNNA
Well that was fun! I'm back from TNNA. (It's the big industry trade show. Yarn companies, tool & notion makers, and publishers go there to show off what they do, and yarn stores go there to see what they might like to carry in their shops.) It was a blast. [...]
Attention Span
The sock now has its very own leg and heel flap (and lovely ones at that). I've figured out how I want to handle the foot and the toes. I'm quite confident these will be cozy socks. Alas, knowing how I want them to look means that I'm completely and [...]
Socks…I remember those
Somehow (we won't dwell on how), I've managed to go something close to a year and a half without casting on a pair of socks for myself. Now, part of this is due to the state of my sock basket (full) and part of it is due to my calendar [...]
Commerce
Last time we chatted about the critters of the Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival. This time, let's talk about the loot. Now, I'm normally rather restrained at these events. I just don't go through much yarn (and when I do knit something, I like it to be in a yarn [...]
Critters
You know that thing where life sort of conspires against you and you decide you Simply Must Leave For A Bit. There's really not any choice about it, you just need to Flee. Yeah, well, that's been going on. So last weekend, I fled. I went down to the Kentucky [...]
Sybaritic (plus giveaway)
Remember Sybaritic? I know at least some of you do! You've been asking about them ever since I took my early patterns down for a revamp. Well now they're back and better than ever (new pictures, new charts, new layout, and an extra size). I realize I likely shouldn't be [...]
Woven
I have an unreasonable fondness for knitted fabrics that look woven at first glance. It's one of the reasons I love this curl. It's got all of the structure of a woven fabric with the stretch and bounce of a knit. The back of it is even pretty too (always [...]
