Silk Road Socks
Soooooo, this wasn't supposed to happen till tomorrow, but...well...um...it's out now! I'll come back and bore you to death with each of the individual socks over the next few days, but for now, you can go to ravelry to see information (and pictures) right now. You can also go to [...]
Magic Hat
Do you see what I meant when I said this hat had the power to keep me sane? Look at the top of that hat. Pretty damn nifty if I do say so myself. Tidy and orderly and soothingly regular...the sort of hat that could well be expected to keep [...]
Conspiracy
I have become convinced that the universe is conspiring against me (this is rarely a good sign). It seems quite clear that something out there is trying to gather up the last tiny scraps of my patience and sanity, tear them up into teeny tiny shreds, and sprinkle them over [...]
Not A Sock
I think the sock gods are angry at me for my recent hat dalliance. I keep overhearing murmurs that sound like 'three good years of faithful friendship' and 'ungrateful upstart' and 'feckless dilettante.' All of which is my way of saying that take two from yesterday may also be a [...]
Try Again
So someone pointed out to me that it's hardly fair to complain about my failures and not show them. Evil I tell you, but I can see her point. There is a certain train wreck aspect to knitting blogs, and I am foolish to try and stand in its way. [...]
Good News, Bad News
Good News: It's snowing! We haven't gotten much snow this winter (apparently it's all gone to the east coast), and I've been feeling cheated. Bad News: The snow is making my normal laziness reach absolutely epic portions. All I want to do is start a pot of soup, snuggle up [...]
Other People’s Knitting
Was there someone in your youth and childhood who would occasionally take a shamelessly sanctimonious tone and say 'virtue is its own reward' when you complained about having to do something? Yeah. It never really worked as motivation for me either. I much prefer a more tangible reward if I'm [...]
Apparently I Just Can’t Knit
Yesterday saw the (slightly more vicious than was perhaps strictly necessary) ripping of the two-headed hat. This morning I cast on for the second version. Yesterday's hat used 8 repeats of the stitch pattern. A bit of measuring and swatching and needle swapping had led me to firmly believe I [...]
I Really Should Know Better
You know that little feeling...that subtle nagging feeling that says 'that might not be quite the right size?' Yeah. I should really learn to listen to that feeling. The hat I was working on? The one I was three inches into? The one that seemed to be just eating up [...]
Winner
Congratulations to Linda who won the yarn, and thank you to everyone for your lovely comments. I, personally, do not believe in the black/gray/navy winter coat. I feel if I have to wear a coat, it had better be bright and colorful. I have a pale blue light weight coat, [...]
