Last week’s WIP Wednesday showed this single, solitary, cast-on that was barely recognizable as a toe. This week, I have a bit more to show. Yep. That’s a full sock and a half. Okay…a little more than a sock and a half. More like a sock and three quarters. That’s what an illness in the […]
Yesterday was the start of the Skinflint Sock Club, and I cast on at lunch hour, as soon as I had time (my time before work was taken up with the administrative duties and playing with the ball winder & swift). By bed last night, I’d managed to get about three inches knit. No, that’s […]
So February has finally arrived, bringing us one month closer to Spring. It’s also the first month of Sock Club, in which I tell you what to knit, and you knit it (wow, that sounds bossy!). My choice for February? MIL’s Socks by Sue Grandfield. It’s a free pattern on Ravelry at this time, so […]
You’ll have to pardon the less-than-stellar lighting and angle on the picture, but it’s definite proof that I managed to finally get the January socks done. I stuck in a piece of waste yarn & ripped back the first sock so that I could re-knit the cuff, then did the same k2p2 cuff on the […]
Everything is new at the beginning of the year…resolutions, intentions, diets, and yarn & fiber clubs. In rapid succession, I heard about at least 2 to 4 sock/yarn clubs starting back up, all with different “hooks” to encourage you to sign up ASAP. My knee-jerk reaction? “Who the heck can afford THAT?” The husbeast has […]
Looks like I’m slightly back on track for this week! I’ve been somewhat ultra-organized (yet at the same time, not) for the past week. I managed to get a podcast up, only to be thwarted by technology (drat you, technology!), and then decided it was time to do a facelift on the site theme. Still […]
Listen Here! This podcast was originally recorded on Friday, 21-Jan-11. Sorry for the delay! For some reason, the podcast host wouldn’t accept my file until I re-exported it. Weird… 🙂 Once again, Chelsea has joined me for the podcast! What’s on the needles? Chelsea: – Grrlfriend Market Bag: Sugar & Cream Cotton in Black – […]
Listen Here! On The Needles: February Lady Sweater: On the last couple of rows of the yoke before separating out the armholes and getting into the lace pattern! Noro Shawl: Got a few rows done last week, but as it’s gotten longer to get through, it’s getting a little harder to sit down & concentrate […]
There must be something in the air because it appears I’m not the only one having issues with “involved” projects (honestly, it’s like the woman is looking in my kitchen window, much like my mother used to accuse Lynn Johnston of doing lo those many years ago*). But wait…what is that? That would happen to […]
Not much to show for this WIP Wednesday. I guess that’s what happens when you get tangled up in little Sim lives and dramas instead of watching movies and knitting. Oops. These are the Glynis socks. No, they don’t look much farther along than they were, do they? It’s because I had to rip back […]
