Marooned
I'm delighted to announce that Marooned is out and ready for your needles. These are the socks I worked on while we visited San Francisco this summer (yes, yes I did bring a sock blocker with me in my suitcase) and took pictures of at the beach. I confess, I'm [...]
Progress
The first sock is nearly done. It would actually be done if I were the more decisive type. I (as predicted) went with the option where I worked on the needles to make the foot all swirly and keen. I got it all figured out, liked it, even took notes, [...]
Now for the Hard Part
The gusset decreases are done. Now I have to decide if I will a) keep going straight as established all down the foot or b) send it swerving off on a new path. And if I go with b, I then have to figure out if I will 1) do [...]
Hypnotic
Ok, so apparently I'm not the only one who likes these. You seem smitten too. The Boy was home this morning, so I pressed him into service as foot double so I could grab a quick snap (I mention this so you know those are his furry legs, not mine). [...]
Uncharacteristic
I'm doing something odd. I'm knitting a plain sock. A very plain sock. A nearly alarmingly plain sock. See? (And because you'll ask, yes, it's String Theory, of course it is!) I can't tell if this is a passing phase, a new trend, or a sign of some sort of [...]
Lounging
This is what the weekend was like: Feet up, pajamas on, kittens installed, woolly socks present and accounted for. Ah, about those socks. Let's see if we can get the darling Levon out of the way (he steals the show after all) and take a closer look at them. Yes, [...]

I've been told I should have a Thanksgiving sale. Since I'm nothing if not obliging, I thought I'd do just that. How about some details! From now through the end of the day on Tuesday, all my downloadable patterns are on sale. You can get 10% off 1 item, 15% [...]
Do the Shuffle
Yesterday afternoon, for no apparent reason, I got a total bug up my butt. I decided that I had...simply had to rearrange all the books in my office. I've got five tall bookshelves in there. Until yesterday, four of them had history books, and the knitting stuff was smushed into [...]
How Very Odd
Every now and then, I find myself strolling through the Library of Congress' webpage. These things happen, it's perfectly normal. (It's actually their flickr page you have to watch out for, it's easy to get sucked in and find you've lost an hour). Sometimes, on these little strolls, I come [...]
Nudge
I find myself completely unmotivated. I have 30 rows and a toe until I'm done with the second sock of the pair. That's two good stretches of knitting. It should be easy as pie. But I apparently do not want pie. Instead, all I want to do is swatch. I've [...]
