First, before I do anything else, I’m going to show how this month’s socks are going, since I couldn’t get it together for my weekly Wednesday update. I totally blame work for this, as the rotations screw with my brain. Robin had to remind me on Thursday night that he wasn’t going to need a […]
I mentioned that there probably wouldn’t be any pictures of muffins on my blog right? I lied. I found a low-carb muffin recipe and decided to give it a whirl. Ingredients? Cream Cheese, Eggs, Splenda, Vanilla and cinnamon (just a little tapped on top for a bit of zest). They’re currently cooling on the counter, […]
This is what it looks like outside, so there will be no wonderfully naturally-lit photos this week. Instead, you get to marvel that my carpet has actually seen a vacuum cleaner in recent days (I love my Dyson). I’ve gotten quite a bit of work done on Robin’s “Theoretical” sweater. He has named it the […]
Not too much to report on this week. I spent some time putting heels in some striped socks, so there should be a Finished-Object post on Friday (If I can remember to take photos, of course). I’ve gotten some work done on the current design sock-in-progress. I do have another design floating through my brain, […]
So on Wednesday (but published on Thursday for you folks who are sticklers) I alluded to the fact that the Camouflage Socks are finished (well, not exactly allusion, since I outright stated it, but it was a good opportunity to use a $20 word in a sentence) And with that, the official August socks are […]
(I wrote this yesterday when it was actually Wednesday. But I hadn’t had time to take the pictures, so consider this my WIP Wednesday on Thursday) I was going to show off my work in progress like I try to do every week…and then I finished my Camouflage socks. No, you can’t see the pictures. […]
I was pleasantly surprised today by our local Michaels. There is usually one small aisle of yarn, and a bit of pegboard with some notions on it. A few months ago, I recall them posting signs indicating that they were going to upgrade the section of yarny goodness. There’s a heck of a lot more […]
I will admit that the title is due to an offhand comment made at work this evening, and probably has nothing to do with the rest of the post. Hooray non-sequiteur? I spent a goodly sum of the weekend knitting away at the first of the August socks. Once that sock was finished (in an […]
We’ve been having all kinds of weird weather lately. Everything from sunny & hot to stormy with hail. This is what I drove home in this evening. I have to admit, I had a bit of a blast plowing through all the water that was gathering on the road! We had ourselves a bit of […]
Time to get on with the August Socks! My Skinflint Sock Club socks of the month are Hermione’s Everyday Socks by Erica Lueder. Yes, I’ve knit them before, but they’re worth a repeat. When you knit them according to direction they make wonderful Lady Socks, and when you upsize them slightly to 72 sts around… […]
