I know that updates have been sparse lately, but I blame that on the work schedule being a bit wonky. One of the drawbacks of rotating shifts, I guess. When I haven’t been working, though, I’ve been keeping myself busy – and not with my Sims game! I’ve noticed time just slipping right away when […]
Hooray for WIP Wednesday! I actually have pictures taken this week. Amazing! Usually I get caught a little flat-footed due to the fact that my schedule is all over the place. First up, a pair of plain old vanilla socks in Trekking XXL. Not very exciting, but we can’t have everything. I actually do still […]
It’s another WIP Wednesday! I would have posted sooner, but with the weather being overcast and rainy, I barely had time to bring in the laundry yesterday. Which is OK, because that gave me time to turn the heel on the 2nd of Robin’s grey-and-red socks It also gave me time to turn some of […]
Today is a snowy day that sorta took us by surprise. I’ve been working night shifts this week, and with a wind storm this past Sunday, I’ve been watching the weather to see if there will be anything I’ll need to be aware of when I leave the building at midnight. Isn’t that a beautiful […]
Things are progressing a bit better with the Gentleman’s Socks than they were. The Lion Brand is really shaping up, and I’m very happy to be working with my regular 2.5mm needles. I really need to get a pair of 2.25mm Addi Turbos to bridge the gap between the really wee needles and the somewhat […]
I’ve kinda wrapped WIP Wednesday and the Stringchronicity Podcast into one great big gooey package today. Today, we’re going video! If you’re seeing the W with the bouncing star, you’re on the right track. Give the video a little time to load. Show notes will be forthcoming once I’ve had a few minutes to get […]
Another WIP Wednesday! Things are continuing. The February Lady Sweater has pretty much gone back into procrastinatory hibernation (but will likely be pulled out when the whim strikes). The design-socks are still being kept away from cameras, and that leaves two things. Two?! Yes. Two. A Shawl! Well…whatever it is, it’s sure a bright pink. […]
I finished the Noro Shawl last week. Actually, it’s less a shawl than a small blanket that resembles an equilateral triangle. I really don’t feel like re-knitting it at this time. so it may stay that way, maybe to eventually become something useful for someone. You never know. This means that other than design-knitting, which […]
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 […]
