Scattered
Hi all, you'll have to pardon me if things are a bit scattered for a day or two. We're back from our trip. We went up to Rhinebeck, and then on to Maine for a bit of a vacation. We had planned to wind our way back slowly and arrive [...]
Book Yarn, Part V
Next on the list, The Plucky Knitter. I first encountered Plucky Knitter yarns at Sock Summit. I fell for them immediately, and I fell hard. I may possibly have walked to the register cradling the yarn in my arms, as there was too much of it to simply hold in [...]
Book Yarn, Part IV
And now, String Theory. I confess, String Theory's yarns are new to me. I kept finding absolutely gorgeous projects on Ravelry, falling madly in love with the yarn, clicking through to see who had made it, and seeing String Theory's name over and over and over again. Eventually, I took [...]
Book Yarn, Part III
Today, Malabrigo. Now while I'm guessing no one was surprised to see orange yarns in the last Book Yarn post, I bet the same can't be said for blue. I've long been...let's say hesitant...about blue. It just seemed like such a safe choice when there was all that orange and [...]
Sock Yarn Studio Review (plus Giveaway)
Am I the only one to procrastinate with housework? I swear my house is never cleaner and my dinners are never more delicious than when I have some sort of deadline looming. A few weekends ago, when I should have been doing any of a host of things more immediate [...]
Book Yarn, Part II
Next up, Black Bunny Fibers. Now I believe my position on the whole orange issue has been well established. Namely 'yes please' and 'let's do that again.' So I don't think anyone will be surprised to see colors like this in the next book. On the right we've got BFL [...]
Book Yarn, Part I
It's become something of a tradition around here to talk a bit about the yarns I'm using in the books before they come out. I'm a firm believer in continuing traditions (and I don't want to leave the blog quiet while I'm off fondling sheep stealing yarn visiting Rhinebeck, so [...]
Packed
I've taken a middle of the road approach. I've packed the socks in progress. I've also packed blockers to finish them, so hopefully I'll get pictures of them (and of the ones I finished back in August) while we're away. And of course I have a wee knitting tool kit [...]
Packing
I'm getting stuff sorted for Rhinebeck, and I'm facing the perpetual problem of all knitters. Packing clothes is easy...packing knitting is hard. This is especially true at the moment as I have precisely one pair of socks on the needles. Not a single other thing. And it's the second of [...]
Mix and Match
As explained the other day, I've only got about 70(ish...the ish is important) yards of the handspun pseudo-yarn. I want to pair it with something else to sort of stretch the goodness. I actually have a plan for (more or less) what I want to do. And do feel free [...]
