Process
I am a firm believer in order of operations. Having a set of steps (and then following them) helps ensure things get done the right ways and that things don't get missed. Given that, it should come as no surprise that the books (or at least the patterns for the [...]
One Down
The first sock is done! See? All the way done, right down to the pretty little toes. And don't worry, the little bars of yarn all lay a bit straighter when my foot (as opposed to the blocker) is filling the sock out. That's String Theory Merino DK in Didgeridoo. [...]
Scoundrel
And now, the result of yesterday's little adventure (that is, the pretty pictures that will likely show up in some format in the pattern, as opposed to the one that shows off the moment of 'look, train!' that yesterday's post featured). And just so you know, these socks will be [...]
I Play Chicken with the Train
I'm not sure what you were up to at 6:45 this morning. If you are a sensible reasonable person, you were likely tucked up in bed, sound asleep. If you are one of those alarmingly industrious types, you might have already been on your way to work. If you are, [...]
Because Math is Fun
If you've been around for awhile, you may recall that a scandalously long time ago (back when Silk Road Socks was first up for order), I went on Lara Neel's charming podcast, Math4Knitters. Well now that there's a new book, it seemed only fitting to swing back by and chat [...]
Remiss
Yes, yes indeed I have been remiss. My magical socks? The super fast ones? Well they are indeed quick, but they are not quite self knitting. I'll likely finish up the first one this weekend. In the meantime, I think I've figured out why this yarn seems to be magic. [...]
Sockupied
Some time last year, the charming Anne Merrow, editor extraordinaire of Interweave's Sockupied, got in touch and asked if we could hatch a plan. Um, yes. The answer was definitely yes. So we plotted and planned. Swatches were made, yarns were procured, patterns were written, and socks were knit...all in [...]
Unabashed
You know how I said each book ends up with its own distinctive palette? Well, all the yarn for the next book (yes, yes I am already deep into the next one, that's how it works) is here now, and it appears the colors for this one are sherbet crossed [...]
Promising
I'm unreasonably taken with this sock. Let's get a picture up to show you what I'm talking about. The yarn is drop dead gorgeous. It's String Theory Merino DK in Didgeridoo and I love it to distraction. It's a smidge more purple in real life, but it was early in [...]
That’s Better
Last night I found myself feeling restless. I couldn't settle. I might even have been flailing around like an over-tired two year old. Then it hit me. I needed to knit. Not a swatch (swatching for the next book is well underway, and I like doing it, but it was [...]
