Third Time’s the Charm
I've cast on three new projects since I last spoke with you. Three! There are two pairs of socks and one pair of fingerless mitts loitering about in various stages of completion. Despite this alarmingly promiscuous knitting, not one project uses the La Luz. I had the best of intentions, [...]
Resurrection
I promised to bore you with copious details of a new project. Now I'm not quite ready to cast on, but we all know that casting on is not the first step in a project. Before you cast on, you need to find some yarn. I've got some that's been [...]
Move On
Move on, nothing to see here, keep going, move along. Lots of knitting, and yet not a thing to show. I've got three, count them three finished pairs of socks and a fourth sock on the needles and not a thing to show you. As soon as the current deadline [...]
Perfectly Normal
I think I'm running out of yarn. Not in general (perish the thought) but for this particular sock. In this situation, it would be perfectly normal to: knit 1 full round, rip it out, carefully measure the amount of yarn used, and do the math to determine how much yarn [...]
Not Empty
Now for some actual knitting. That empty box over there, the one under "On the Needles?" It's a lie. The needles are not empty. They are, in fact, quite full. Alas, almost all the current knitting is secret, so I can't show you pictures. I'm realizing now that this was [...]
Progress, Part the Second
So there I was, feeling awfully pleased with myself. I had made socks, two whole pairs. They fit. They were lovely. I was quickly approaching smug. You know those lists you see detailing why you should knit socks? The ones that talk about the practicality and the comfort and the [...]
Progress
I get a fair number of people asking me how I learned to design socks or asking if I've been knitting for ages. This is very flattering, but I feel the need to confess. I've only been knitting seriously for about two years. I'll explain. About seven or eight years [...]
Driven to Distraction
I painted my fingernails with a deeply immodest shade of glittery red polish, and I'm finding the constant flashes of shimmery awesomeness seriously distracting. I try to look at the stitches on my needles and am sidetracked by the shiny. It's possible I'm just easily distracted (um, it's more than [...]
A Shameful Lapse
It's the last day to get any of my sock patterns for $4.00. The sale ends tonight! So while we were on our impromptu pizza run, we just sort of happened to stumble into two yarn stores. They were (more or less) on the way home. And really, it's not [...]
Better Late than Never
I've been dreadfully delinquent and shamefully slow in posting the winner of the truly scrumptious Liberty's Yarn. It's all my fault, and I don't have particularly good excuses. I'll go pick knots out of laceweight for penance. Without further delay, the lucky winner is Tamara. I'll be in touch to [...]
