Victory Dance
We did it! Thank you all for your votes. You pushed me into the lead. For those of you who want to join the knit along, the Sock that Rock group is here. Knitting starts on the first of July and ends on thirtieth of September. As promised, I'm going [...]
We’re Off to the Races
The voting on the Socks That Rock knit along is neck and neck, and closes on Monday. If you think you'd like to knit Dippers as part of a knit along, I'd love to have your vote. You can vote by going here (Ravelry link) and clicking the love button [...]
Who’s Next?
Embonpoint is being tested, and the pattern should be out next week. I'm mailing the socks off to Schaefer this morning and will do my best to demonstrate the firmness of character and stoic resolve for which I am known (in other words, I shall try not to weep in [...]
Double Dipped
It seems Dippers is getting a bit of attention. A Socks That Rock group on Ravelry is considering using it for their next knit along. I'm thrilled! The idea of seeing it knit up in so many of the lovely Blue Moon colorways is rather staggering. Just in case it [...]
Luscious
Embonpoint is done, and I love them! They are marvelously smooshy and fantastically photogenic. See? They are getting shipped off to Schaefer this week. With luck, the pattern should be available shortly. I can't wait to start seeing these made.
Nearly There
Embonpoint is coming right along. The second sock is more than half done (and is quite a bit smaller than what I normally make -- I'm aiming for an 8, instead of my usual and much more impressive 11). With a bit of luck they should be finished this weekend. [...]
Ferment
This past weekend featured a brief jaunt to Washington D.C. to visit Savor, an "American craft beer and food experience." Should you ever wish to sample a hundred or so sorts of beer in the space of five hours, this is the event for you. I am generally pro beer, [...]
Calumny
Calumny: ˈka-ləm-nē noun - a misrepresentation intended to harm another's reputation I checked my email this morning and was more than a bit surprised to find that I had received 300 new messages in the space of a few minutes. Surprise quickly gave way to dismay as it became clear [...]
Sock Summit
After much wavering, equivocating, and down right shilly shallying, I have come to a decision. I will be attending Sock Summit 2009. Eep. I will be getting the wee pretty button later, but right now their computers seem to be a bit busy doing other things (like fending off the [...]
Baaaaaah
I went to the Great Lakes Fiber Show this weekend and displayed astonishing self restraint and admirable fiscal responsibility. I bought a mere six skeins of yarn. Quite noble. I must have been too distracted by the squee-worthy critters to engage in commerce. Sheep are both cuter and smellier than [...]
