Chamfer, Again
Alas, I was scandalously remiss in not telling you more about yesterday's Chamfer socks. Perhaps most importantly, I should tell you about the yarn. It's Dream in Color's Everlasting Sock. Which might just be one of my new favorite sock yarns. It's made up of 8 tiny, tightly twisted plies, [...]
Chamfer
As promised, the orange(ish) spiky socks (they look a bit too pink in these shots, which is totally my fault, but it's snowy out there now and I don't feel like braving the elements to try again). These have been named Chamfer, and I'm quite taken with them. I'm actually [...]
But it’s…Pink
There's a reason I knit on dpns. They generally put an upper limit on how many stitches are in a row or round. I know myself, I know I'll get awfully bored if something is much more than 100 stitches around (which is about where my hats come in). Yet [...]
Helper Cat, Part II
Having seen Levon's efforts to aid household order as in the previous post, Barry decided to get in the action too. He absolutely refused to leave the socks alone so I could get a picture of them. Instead, he sat beside them. He patted them with his paw. He laid [...]
Helper Cat
The Rearranging Of The Bookcases is something of a yearly ritual around these parts. The goal this time was to get rid of a few of the less necessary books (book accumulation is the family curse, and if I don't set strict limits I'll be buried) and so make a [...]
Goodies
It's been a little while since we had a giveaway, hasn't it? Let's fix that! Way back when, I mentioned that Suzan at Barking Dog Yarns was using one of the patterns from The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet as part of her new sock club. The February shipment just went out [...]
All is Lost
It is possible that I've spent too much time proofreading in the last few days. I'm not sure, but it seems likely. The hissy fit I just threw because I could not find the particular green pen that I'm using to make corrections on this print out might be a [...]
Blooming
I generally kill houseplants. Well no, I generally just avoid buying houseplants. I have no good places for them, and I worry the cats will either destroy them or be destroyed by them. The ones I can't resist usually die quickly in protest of my mistreatment of them. But not [...]
Sample Cards
Have I explained sample cards to you guys? They're rather nifty, and not something I knew about until I started designing. I just got another one in the mail, so I thought I'd take advantage of this shiny new addition to my drawer of goodies and tell you about them. [...]
No Discernible Purpose
Every now and then, I need to knit something... unofficial. Something I have no intention of using in a pattern. Something mindless. Something I can pick up for 5 minutes here and there between other endeavors. This is it. It's Yarn Harlot's One Row Scarf, worked in some (almost) yarn [...]
