Make A Note
It's hard to know when the last cool day of Spring happens. You don't really notice it until it's come and gone. It's easier to notice the first cool day of Fall. Yesterday, for me at least, was that first cool day. I was sitting in my office reading, and [...]
A Surprisingly Knitterly Place
Being now armed with a toe, Socky felt ready to venture out on more explorations. Having enjoyed Ironworks Distillery on Wednesday, he was interested in finding another similar facility. Before we set out to locate such a place, we decided to stop in to the grocery store. You see, a [...]
Gramercy
As I explained once before, I started designing socks mostly through an (oh so fetching) combination of laziness, bossiness, and inability to follow directions. I kept it up because knitters seem to be disproportionately awesome and kept making me feel good. Designing has turned into an important part of my [...]
Purely Medicinal
After Tuesday's trying experience with the rocks and sea monsters, Socky was a bit out of sorts. Luckily, there was a facility nearby that had just the cure for his ills. The Ironworks Distillery was, by happy coincidence, conveniently located just down the street from our lodgings in Lunenberg. We [...]
Stick
I have found the coolest stick in the (admittedly rather long and illustrious) history of sticks. It is twisty and gnarly and has funny colored bits and spots for critters to hide, which is all well and good. But, and this is what makes it the coolest stick ever, it [...]
Peril
On Tuesday, Socky went to the shore. He clambered over rocks, frolicked in tidepools, and generally enjoyed the ocean air. Alas, all was not well. There are perils in the deep, and Socky was menaced by sea monsters. He lived to tell the tale and will be back to relate [...]
One or the Other
So apparently I have time to either knit, or to write about knitting, but not both (at least not unless I let my commitments to either personal hygiene or basic housekeeping practices slip even further, which isn't really a viable option at the moment). I can assure you that my [...]
Somewhere Something Went Terribly Awry
So I have seen lots of examples of brioche stitch, and tend to think they look rather nifty. Then the other day I read a two sentence description of the gist of the process. Armed with this rather scanty information, I decided I could do it. I had seen a [...]
I Really Meant It
Yes, tentacles. Grabby, twisty, vaguely menacing tentacles. I strongly recommend you don't knit your own. They're maddeningly addictive. You'll need at least three, likely more (I'm hoping I'll be able to call it quits at five, but I'm by no means certain). You'll find yourself peering at your leftover bits [...]
A Scandalous Absence
I know. It was a shameful lapse. It came without warning. It lasted too long. It's just been that kind of week around here. There hasn't been any one dramatic upheaval, just lots of little unexpected changes. It's just been...busy. Alas, not that satisfying kind of busy where at least [...]
