Assistance
The morning had one goal. Now it's not exactly a small goal, but it was something that could reasonably be accomplished if I was diligent. The goal was pictures. Pictures of the slippers, pictures of a technique I want I want to talk to you guys about, and pictures of [...]
Present
Last week, after finally convincing myself that it was really really really ready to go, I sent KCC3 off to the printer. This is always the point where I start to get a bit queasy. It's the combination of knowing that any mistakes I've made are now destined for immortality [...]
Yearly
The time has come (a bit late this year, I confess) for The Annual Preserving of the Lemons. I won't recap the directions (I did that last year, should you want to make your own). I'll just flaunt the results. That's all the meyer lemons I was able to scrounge [...]
True Love
Barry is a helpful and trustworthy kitten not normally prone to fits of yarn abuse. After I'd carefully laid out the rainbow of yarns to take the picture I showed you last time, he sauntered over to see if he could be of any assistance. I informed him I had [...]
Rainbow
Aww, you guys are very kind. Thank you for all the lovely comments on the anniversary post. I still can't quite believe I get to do this for my real live grownup job. Now that KCC3 is just about to head off to the printer, I find myself wanting to [...]
Five years in
Five years ago, with very little in the way of a proper plan, I flung this website up as a place to host my first attempt at a sock pattern. One year later, I had a book contract. A year after that, Silk Road Socks was out. A year after [...]

I don't believe in rushing. I'm firmly convinced that when you rush, you make stupid mistakes. If you feel like you should hurry, it's probably actually time to slow down and take a breath. Which is why, despite the rather frantic pace of the last few days (as explained by [...]
Opportune
You know how sometimes an opportunity sneaks up and pounces, all bright and shining and obvious, and you have no choice but to seize it? Right. That's not what's happened here. Instead, the faintest glimmer of an interesting opportunity has twinkled, dimly, off in the distance. It's the sort of [...]
Sharing
The mitts (the ones meant to match The Boy's new hat) are done. Now, because The Boy has a deeply unreasonable lack of love for woolly mitts, these are not for him. They are for me. Definitely his loss. P.S. These are up for testing over here if you're itching [...]
Scribble
I am not known for my patience. I do not enjoy waiting, and I do not do it well. So the less said about the time between when I heard about the sharpie and alcohol thing (Friday afternoon) and when I actually got some markers and started scribbling (Saturday afternoon) [...]
