All that and he fixes cars too…
My car is, well, I don't want to say elderly. Perhaps proto-vintage is a better term. He (His name is Theodoric and he does not truck with nicknames. In fact, he prefers you to use his full title, Theodoric King of the Ostrogoths, but I don't encourage this.) will be [...]
Dippers
I am, for once in my life (and much to the surprise of anyone who has met me), done ahead of schedule. Yes, that's right, the Dippers socks are done being knit, done being photographed, and the pattern done being written. You may find the pattern here. You may also [...]
The Vapors
No I'm not dead. I am, instead, alternating between knitting and having the vapors. I think the vapors are underrated and are a perfectly valid coping technique for many of life's ills. I am, as they say, bringing them back. Between fits of the vapors I'm knitting away, and have [...]
Dippers
I'm pleased to announce the official name of the newest sock. They are now and shall henceforth be known as Dippers. The first sock is done and the pattern is 90% finished. It goes out to the noble and startlingly attractive test knitters/proof readers tomorrow, and should be up for [...]
Super Stealth Knitting
What's that Mr. Security Guard, you'd like to look in my purse? Sure, go right ahead. That? Oh, that's my knitting...would you like to see? Out comes 3/4 of a sock and scads of yarn. Thank you Mr. Security Guard, I will enjoy the concert. Now it's hardly my fault [...]
Just. Keep. Knitting
I have to learn to knit faster. Alas, I feel this is likely accomplished most successfully by spending more time knitting, and neither my wrists nor my schedule allow for any more time spent with yarn. Generally, if I knit every day, and knit faithfully on just one project (ha), [...]
Slant
As promised, the pattern for Slant is finished. The Ravelry page is here, and the pdf of the pattern is here. Thanks to everyone who said nice things about them, and special thanks to the valiant knitters who bravely tested out the stitch pattern instructions and pronounced them intelligible. One [...]
The Yarn Shop Next to the Brewery
The full phrase is "the yarn shop next to the brewery is open late on the night of the homebrewer's meeting." It has become our household's way of saying serendipity. I realize that the phrase 'the yarn shop next to the brewery' is much longer than the word serendipity, but [...]
Clamorous Rabble
Alrightly then, it seems you folks like your socks. I shall heed the outcry and have a pattern up promptly. I've got a draft written and it's in the hands of another fantastic test knitter. How about a sexy glamor shot to tide you over till then: Yeah baby, who [...]
What’s That? More?
To everyone who has said something nice about Popped, thank you. To those who have pointed out some spots where I was unclear (or possibly even downright wrong) an even bigger thank you. I appreciate the suggestions and have changed the pattern to reflect them. In the meantime, I just [...]
