Thanksgiving Pizza and Other Tales
I believe in traditions. Traditions are important. They help remind you who you are. Now that said, I really don't believe you need to borrow anyone else's traditions, you're far better off making up your own. And so it is with the Thanksgiving Pizza. About a year before The Boy [...]
Sale
I...um...accidentally fled the country in search of the Traditional Thanksgiving Pizza. I'll be back home later this evening and will explain all that, but in the meantime, I'm having a sale. All sock patterns are $4.00 from now until Monday evening. Avoid the lines and the infuriating Christmas music, stay [...]
And the Winner is…Delayed
Thanks so much for all of the really lovely comments about the most recent socks! They seem to be a favorite, and I can't wait to see them knit up in lots of lovely yarns. I had every intention of announcing the winner of the prize yarn today, but the [...]
Sybaritic
The sun came out on Sunday, and The Boy was gracious enough to go outside on a little photo shoot. I spent quite a lot of time sitting on the porch railing trying to keep my toes still, and he spent an equal amount of time cheerfully tramping through the [...]
Frilly
The pretty frilly fluffy pink socks are going up Monday. At least that's the plan. If the sun comes out some time tomorrow, the plan has a very good chance of succeeding, as the pattern is all finished except for a final picture. In the meantime, you get a depressing [...]
Deep in the Heart of Texas
Well I didn't get eaten by (or even see) a coyote. I did, however, see an armadillo (dead), a donkey, a few sheep, horses, cows (all alive), and several goats (quite lively). No, we didn't go to a petting zoo, these were just all hanging out by the side of [...]
Packing
I believe I may have a problem. I am going on a trip. I leave tomorrow morning and return Monday evening. I have three socks that need toes, and I had planned to bring them with me. I've just realized that this is likely not enough knitting. I have two [...]
Up and Away
Lots of little bits today, and no overarching theme. Is scattered a theme? No? Could we pretend it is? First, some business. Today's lucky winner is Darcy! She will be getting a skein of lovely yarn from Dicentra Designs in her favorite color, Opal Creek. I'll be in touch to [...]
Bedizen
Bedizen is up! These are shamelessly frilly, fluffy, girly socks -- because sometimes that's exactly what you need. It's hopeless to fight it. The stitch pattern is unapologetically lacy and swirly. It looks complicated, but it is actually surprisingly simple. The pattern repeat is only 4 rows high, and it [...]
Shameless Solicitation
...the kind with yarn though, not the kind with criminal charges and embarrassing social diseases. So, I'm planning out my knitting for the upcoming year. Yes I realize there's a bit of a disconnect here. Half a year ago I was agonizing over whether it was ok to charge for [...]
