Working on the Gush socks (pattern by Yarnissima)…Starting on clue #4. I have to admit that while I was excited to get started, I’ll be happy to see the end of this pair. The yarn is a little *too* “wool-y” for this time of year, and the knit & purl pattern is somewhat fiddly. I’m […]
Amazingly enough, I actually have a couple of quick pictures to show! Yay! I’m surprised, what with a very busy vacation and then schedule crazies at work, but I’ll take my resource photos where I can get ’em. It doesn’t look like much of anything, but that’s because this is a sorta cast-on picture. I’ve […]
One of the ways we like to celebrate birthdays in our household is to take time off. My birthday, in February, was made more interesting by a case of Shingles. Luckily, Robin’s birthday has been eventful in ways that are more entertaining and include 100% less hospital visits. We have had a great week so […]
Don’t forget your towels today folks! A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded […]
…almost literally, in fact, but we’ll get to that in a moment. That, there is part of my year-round self-sock-club. The blue socks are my February MIL’s Socks, the red pair are March’s Shur’tugal, the multicolours are the second pair of April socks (toe-up with an afterthought heel), and the really bright neon green socks […]
Yes, I know it’s been awhile since I posted. I didn’t mean to go this long, but life has this terrifying way of taking precidence. Since my last update, I managed to finish the March Socks (by April 9th…they took awhile) and I started and finished the April socks. Pictures will be forthcoming! I’m back […]
Day seven: 3rd April. Your knitting and crochet time. Write about your typical crafting time. When it is that you are likely to craft – alone or in more social environments, when watching TV or whilst taking bus journeys. What items do you like to surround yourself with whilst you twirl your hook like a […]
Day six: 2nd April. Something to aspire to. Is there a pattern or skill that you don’t yet feel ready to tackle but which you hope to (or think you can only dream of) tackling in the future, near or distant? Is there a skill or project that makes your mind boggle at the sheer time, […]
Day Four: 31st March. Where are they now? Whatever happened to your __________? Write about the fate of a past knitting project. Whether it be something that you crocheted or knitted for yourself or to give to another person. An item that lives with you or something which you sent off to charity. I don’t know […]
Day Three: 30th March. Tidy mind, tidy stitches. How do you keep your yarn wrangling organised? It seems like an easy to answer question at first, but in fact organisation exists on many levels. Maybe you are truly not organised at all, in which case I am personally daring you to try and photograph your […]
