Greatly Exaggerated
I am assuredly not dead. Busy, yes. Dead, no. Thanks to the folks who emailed to check though. I do like knowing that if I ever should be dead, someone might notice before the cats have the chance to nibble on too much of me. Hopefully The Boy would notice, [...]
Testing
The current project is about to go up for testing on ravelry. If you are just dying to make these (and willing to risk the occasional typo for the chance to make them before I officially release the pattern), this is your chance. I've still not decided if I like [...]
Greenhorn
The pattern for Greenhorn is up. You've seen these as they grew, so I won't bore you with too many details. The short version goes 'two sizes, mirrored left to right, nifty heel construction, worksheet to let you use the construction elsewhere.' I like them, and you might too. Go [...]
Beeeeeeeeeeeep
This has been a test of the emergency porch-cast system. Had this been a real emergency, I would have brought more yarn. And more beer. Those of you who've been around a while may recall that last year we hired some nice men to transform our backyard (previously affectionately, if [...]
Up Next
Greenhorn should be out Wednesday or Thursday. The socks are finished (you already knew that), the pattern is finished (you probably knew that too), and the testers are finished. And let me assure you, these were tested out the wazoo. I've had several people make each size and each side [...]
Nifty!
Do you remember a month or so ago when I was wailing and gnashing my teeth over the distressing lack of mitt blockers in the world? Ok, perhaps not actually wailing, but certainly carrying on in an unbecoming fashion. Well, it seems that there are some people who, when confronted [...]
Maybe…
Hmmmm. Maybe it's not so bad. I suppose one doesn't generally hang socks side by side and stare intently at them. At least I don't. I tend to put them on my feet and go about my day. And while my feet generally remain in fairly close proximity to each [...]
Do You See That?
I tried to pretend it wasn't happening. I tried hard. But alas, I can no longer ignore it. Look at those stripes. On the left, big stripes on the top and little stripes on the bottom. On the right, little stripes on the top and big stripes on the bottom. [...]
Dear Madam
To the person who wrote to me insisting I: hurry up with the pink mitts already be sure to release them as a free pattern explain how to use worsted weight instead of fingering weight describe how to work them back and forth instead of in the round I'm afraid [...]
Promising
Well this seems as though it could be rather promising. I really do like them both ways, though the inside out version is currently slightly in the lead. I'm actually starting to like the reverse stockinette sole too. Apparently some people make all their socks that way because it makes [...]
