Proof of Concept
So the weekend bit didn't work out. It was cold and rainy. I am valiant enough to hang about in the snow to get pictures, but not the rain. The snow came back today, so I dashed out for a quick snap, just to prove that they really are done. [...]
Taunting
Graupel are done, and they are taunting me. There they lay...finished...blocked...totally ready to go. And yet, they are not on my feet. That's because I don't have good pictures of them, and the rule is 'no wearing the socks till they're photographed.' At least it's a weekend, which increases the [...]
Because Just Knitting Them Isn’t Enough
You have to darn them too... I mentioned the other day that three pairs of socks had worn thin in the heels. I considered just chucking them, but The Boy professed a fondness for his, and I (grudgingly) acknowledged that it was far less work to darn them than to [...]
Elfrida
As promised, new socks! May I introduce Elfrida? You may have noticed that these don't follow the same naming convention as the rest of my socks. That's because they are part of Penny Rose Yarns' Wicked Women sock club. They are named for a real live wicked woman, and you [...]
To Those Who Wait
The newest pattern is coming out on Tuesday. Until then, I shall be suspiciously quiet. I could say that it's all part of a master plan to build suspense, but it's much more likely I'm just lazy.
Fine Line
I must now attempt to walk that fine line between discretion and rashness. Let's see how I do. I can tell you that I have a new sock pattern coming out. That really shouldn't be a surprise to any of you, and it certainly isn't breaking any vows of secrecy. [...]
Winners

They Come in Threes…
Over the past week or so I have had three, yes three pairs of socks wear out at the heels. One of them is an early pair of The Boy's (made during that period of deeply unsuitable yarns I mentioned earlier). The other two are mine and were made a [...]
One Down
One to go. I'm fairly madly in love with these. They started out as something calm and quiet and soothing and have transformed into something bordering on obsession. I haven't actually knit on anything else since I cast these on. The second one is now on the needles and I've [...]
Use the Good Stuff
At its heart, knitting is just using sticks to tie string into an overly complicated slip knot. It really doesn't take much in the way of tools. You certainly can go out and buy a closet full of supplies and gadgets, but you don't need to. All you really need [...]
