Testing
The lovely gray ribbed socks I posted about a little while ago (scroll down, the pic should still be on this page) are now up for testing. If you want to make your own, swing by the testing group and volunteer.

You guys have heard me say all sorts of nice things about Suzan at Barking Dog Yarns. I used her yarn for Peregrinate and Foliate, and I absolutely love it. I've also used it for two of the projects for Book the Second. So when Suzan told me she was [...]
You Know You’re A Knitter When…
We seem to go to two different sorts of shows. There's the buy your ticket ahead of time, get an assigned seat, wear grownup clothes, sit quietly, watch attentively, applaud politely sort. Like the Tuvan throat singing concert. Very grown up. Then there's the the buy your ticket at the [...]
Awkward
So apparently there is a knitting version of awkward adolescence. I tried to put this hat on Alphonse and show it to you that way. It just looked goofy. But I'm pretty sure it's going to look nifty once it grows up and gets a little bit taller. You'll just [...]
Baaaaah
I like Heifer International. They do good things. Every now and then, I give them money. As a result, I seem to be on their mailing list. The other day, I got a nice fat envelope from them. Inside was a stack of holiday cards. Really cute holiday cards. Now [...]
Look, Knitting
Just in case you were worried I'd not been knitting, I've got a tiny reminder. I'm awfully pleased with these. They're orderly somehow, almost stately. I'll cast on the second one in a day or two, and might even finish them up this month (an unheard of level of knitting [...]
Cheating
I have a complicated relationship with my furnace. I deeply resent turning it on every year. It's not even that it's all that expensive. It's just I feel that I should be tougher than that. I shouldn't walk around whining that my fingers are frozen stiff when it's 55 in [...]
Shameless Abuse of Power
I think I may have made an error in judgement. Not the kind that gets you arrested or even sued. But the kind that leaves you swearing at yourself and at your knitting. You see, I started a hat. That wasn't the error. The error was not checking to see [...]
Wrap Up
1) Holy hell that was fun -- watching professionals work is really inspiring. Also a tiny bit envy-making. But mostly inspiring. I feel so good about having hired a real live grown up to come take the pictures for this. 2) Man oh man was that tiring -- try to [...]
All My Bags Are Packed, I’m Ready To Go
I am (finally) all packed and ready for the photo shoot tomorrow. That's Box 1. It contains model releases, shot lists, a wee knitting repair kit in case something goes wrong, and lint roller. Oh, and knitting. A fair bit of knitting actually. You can see tiny snippets of about [...]
