Spin and Knit

For some reason I got a crazy idea and joined the Ravelympics.  I’m in the Fleece to FO Track.  I’d been wanting to spin for another pair of socks and (a) it was a good time to motivate me to do this and (b) I thought this would be fun for my Silly Sock Swap.  [...]

First FO of 2010

So here we go… I finished up a pair of basic socks with some yarn I dyed a while ago. These have been hanging on for ages and ages, since I just worked on them a minute here and there.  The eternal car sock project.

Well… that feels good.
Also I’ve completed a few dishcloths.  I have [...]

Knitting Continues

Since I had nearly a whole ball left after finishing Gretel, I decided that I needed to make a pair of Fetching.  You know…the ones that everyone has made.   I have to say – the more I work with this KnitPicks yarn – the more I’m liking it.  I can see a gorgeous, cozy sweater [...]

Two Pair

I finished up two pairs of socks this week.

These are just my basic simple sock knitting recipe, with afterthought heels.

I have a love/hate relationship with afterthought heels.  I followed the recipe, but it seems I have a short heel.

So I pulled back and only went down to 16 stitches on each side and then [...]

Everywhere

I can’t believe it’s been more than a week since I posted.  Whoops.  I feel like I’ve been everywhere.  I know there’s just so much going on, but for the life of me I don’t know what. Last night I gave a talk/demo on spinning to the Hononegah Women’s group.  We all had a blast.  [...]

Saturday Sock Swap

We had a beautiful Saturday Day – a little cool – but lovely.  Perfect for socks. 

Here’s an update on my plain socks I’m working on.  I’ve casted on the second sock to all and making good progress on the one – to get it done.  Have to say I really don’t care for [...]

Conserving Energy

I know it’s been a week since I posted.  Shame on me, but I’ve been conserving energy for a good reason.  I’ve been feeling a little run down lately.  I swear my office is filled to the brim with cold and flu bugs and even some knitting friends seem to have come down with it [...]

Finished Froot Loops with Sunrise Saturday Sky

I finised my Froot Loops this week and finally got them blocked.  Yeah!  I can’t wait to wear them today.

I have to cast on my next pair this weekend for my Silly Swap Pal.  I think I have a pattern picked out.  I can’t wait.
I also finally casted on my February Lady’s Sweater and I [...]

Sock Knitting Progress

Thank you to everyone for the thoughts.  I have to say nighttime is the hardest.  I expect to look over and see her on the pillow or encouraging me to put my book down and pay attention to her.  The vet sent over flowers, which was very nice.

I have managed to finish the first sock [...]

A Pair of Baudelaire’s

I finished up my Baudelaire socks.  I’m on a role.  Yeah!

I’m working on Froot Loops next.  I have to say I like the Baudelaire’s, but I don’t think these will be my favorite to wear.  They have no stretch at all to them.  They fit nicely after the blocking, but without stretch I’m wondering how [...]
