Close Enough
There is no sun. The sun is gone. The sun will never shine again. It will be gray, and probably sleeting, until the end of time. This means I will never get a good picture of this sock. We'll just have to accept this and move on. We can console [...]
Unwrapped
Now that the books with goody bags have found their way to their new homes, I wanted to do a little post to show everyone what was in there (seriously, I've been getting questions from folks asking). If you're one of the folks who is waiting to open your package [...]
Zipping along
The sock has grown. It's funny how that happens when you actually sit down and knit on it. But despite the growth, it still may not be the most exciting thing in the world (a few more inches of plain ribbed sock is still plain ribbed sock). I'm holding out [...]
Smidgen, Snippet, Sliver (plus coupon code)
A year or so ago, I took down a bunch of my early patterns. They were lovely, but they weren't quite as polished as my current work, so down they came. I've been revamping them (new layouts, new charts, updated text, and often new pictures and more sizes) and rereleasing [...]
That’s Better
Oh hey, look, sun. That's a much better representation of this lovely yarn. It's Squoosh Aran by Skeinny Dipping. And yes, this is going to be a fairly staid and reserved sock. A bit of wobbly action at the top, then a nice rib down the leg and foot. There [...]
The Sock You Cannot See
I'm working on some socks for The Boy (compensation for his efforts in the giant book shipping extravaganza that he's about to participate in). I'm using a lovely brown yarn with subtle hints of green and red. It is lovely, and in the right light you can see all the [...]
Shipping Update
So we're in one of those good news/bad news spots. The good news is that I've shipped hundreds and hundreds of books, and lots of folks have started to receive them (and I've even spotted a few finished curls popping up on ravelry). That is so much fun to see! [...]
Oh hey, knitting…
So it's been a while, but some of you may remember sometimes I do this thing where I use two sticks to tie long pieces of string in fancy knots. Then I take pictures of the knots and talk about them on the internet. Which I know sounds odd, but [...]
Nifty
I wasn't going to post today. I was going to stuff envelopes and then rest (doctor's orders...apparently this work all day, get no sleep, be too busy to eat thing I've been rocking for a week or two isn't actually a good long term plan, and I've been sternly told [...]
Going Postal (the old-fashioned way)
Hey stranger, I missed you! Writing about all the book projects (and reading all your lovely comments) has been great fun, but I've missed just chatting with you. I like telling you guys what's going on around here. Though to be frank, what's been going on so far this week [...]
