Mending
Somehow...and I have decided not to dwell on how (though I have refreshed all of our moth traps just to be extra cautious), a pair of The Boy's socks got a hole. Right up at the top where you are absolutely not getting any serious wear. I've never actually dealt with a hole involving the cast on edge, but I decided it couldn't be that different than a hole anywhere else. Step one is find yarn...these were the options the stash offered. From left to right that's two yarns from a Frabjulous Fibers color morph on Cheshire Cat in the [...]
Countdown, day 5
Today's pattern is Xanthophyll. You can get it on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. What's going on? I'm doing a countdown sale. Every day through December 24, I'm putting one pattern on sale. I'm starting with socks and then moving on to quicker projects (think slippers then hats then cuffs) as the time gets shorter. Each sale lasts until 11:59pm eastern time that day. I'll be posting about it here on the blog as well as on Instagram and Twitter. If you want to be sure to see today's sale, you can either swing by the blog [...]

Flip flop
So these are sort of fun...while you're knitting them, they look like this: And when you turn them inside out, they look like this: And the idea is that when you wear them, you first turn them inside out and then fold down the cuff, so you'll see this: But with more of that lovely purl 3, k1tbl ribbing (from picture 2) carrying down the whole foot. It looks awesome, but it keeps you working on the knitside for the whole sock (which I prefer to working that much reverse stockinette...though maybe someone out there likes to purl more than [...]

Countdown!
I've heard a rumor one or two of you have realized that you planned to do a bit of holiday knitting...and that the holidays are well nigh upon us. I'm not actually cool enough to solve that problem for you, but if picking patterns is part of the hold up, I might be able to help with that! I'm going to do a little countdown sale. Every day, from December 1 through December 24, I'm going to put a different pattern on sale for one day only. We'll start with socks (because some of you folks turn out socks in [...]
Once more into the breach
So first there was a swatch... Then there was a slight change of plans (same company, same base, just went with the solid instead of the multi)... Then there was a cast on (yes, scandal, I cast on over two needles, yes I know the lecture, yes I'm going to keep doing it)... And in no time at all there's a bit of a sock... A familiar looking sock (yes, it's the same stitch from Constellate, it was too much fun not to use it again). Yarn is from Mineville Wool Project, their merino cashmere nylon base, in the color [...]
