I Checked
It's not every sock that can say it was knit on during a Tuvan throat singing concert. Really it may be a fairly small percentage of socks that can add that to their resumes. But the gray ones can. And it was darn nifty. Though I must say, if you're [...]
Crisp
As promised, actual socks on the needles. This is the first cast on with some of the Sock Summit yarn. It's Plucky Knitter's MCN Primo in the color Barely Birch. This is a nice thick yarn, and the socks are going to be perfect for wearing around the house when [...]
Hint
When someone rings your doorbell and hands you a kitten, you might want to try hard not to see the kitten. Instead, you might want to see the very tall stack of vet bills (all carefully timed to coincide with other expenditures like house painting and vacations and car repairs). [...]
Still Kicking
Sorry for the sparse posting. I'm here and fine, just a wee bit swamped. All the projects for the book are re-blocked, tagged (there is a chart...a giant organizational chart...it's kind of cool), oh so carefully laid out, and tucked safely in a box ready for the big day. I'm [...]
Warm Up
You remember the (ever so slightly crazy making) reign of painterly doom. They did lovely work, but while they were here, I just could not pay attention to one thing for more than an hour or so at a time. It just wasn't happening. So in celebration of a short [...]
Brrrr
It is 58 degrees in my dining room (the warmest room in the house). I think it's time to break out the woolies. Handy that the new mitts are all done and ready to wear. They'll be out tomorrow.
Tick Tock
Folks, have you looked at a calendar lately? I'm less than two weeks away from the book's photoshoot. Do you have any idea how cool that is? Do you have any idea how nerve wracking that is? The balance between cool and nerve wracking shifts from moment to moment. To [...]
And Then They Fell Down Raining Fiery Death on All
Some things in this world are simply true. It doesn't matter if I remember them or not. It doesn't matter if I like them or not. They just go right on being true in blatant disregard of how I think the world should work. For instance, I am a big [...]
The Stars Aligned
Several things have happened at once. I'm home during daylight (not that rare). The Boy is home during daylight (much more rare). The weather is pleasant (quite unusual). I have finished knitwear to photograph (nearly unheard of). The combination means that there is a very good chance that all three [...]
Your Turn
I'm meeting with the photographer for Book the Second on Thursday. We'll be having a planning meeting, wandering the halls of our photo shoot location, and generally plotting how to make this book extra awesome. I have my list of 'things to ask' and 'things to insist upon.' But I'm [...]
