28:06:42:12…that is when the world will end.

October 1, 2011 by Maire in Patterns / 4 Comments

As promised, a pattern release!  You can download it now on Ravelry. I will admit to being rather excited, as it’s the first pattern work I’ve done in quite a long time. It felt good to dig into page layout again, though next time I don’t think I’ll give myself such a tight deadline. 28:06:42:12 is […]

I really don’t have much of anything to show this week…and that’s mainly because the pattern is coming along, tickety-boo, and that means no peeking until I’m all done and ready to release it. I’m aware that the timer is running down (boy, am I aware), so I’m knitting as fast as my little fingers […]

New Sock Pattern coming soon: 28:06:42:12

September 26, 2011 by Maire in Patterns, Whimsy / 5 Comments

I figured I would make this an official post rather than a hint in the sidebar of the website for October’s Skinflint Sock Club project. I’m very close to finishing test sock #1 for my new pattern release, 28:06:42:12. If those numbers sound familiar, it’s because that is when the world will end. I will […]

Babywatch 2011

I know, I know…with the exception of yesterday’s post (which was a special event, yes), updates have been light on the ground. But I have an excuse…I’ve been busy! While The Yarn Harlot was taking part in Babywatch 2011, we have been doing a bit of the same.  First off, a co-worker of mine was […]

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 […]

What was that about muffins?

What was that about muffins?

September 1, 2011 by Maire in Hobbies, Whimsy / 2 Comments

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 […]

This week’s work & a trip to the museum

August 24, 2011 by Maire in Hobbies, Wanderings / 2 Comments

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. […]
