Steven sent me a link to this article headlined “More men bucking stereotypes, picking up knitting”. I am all for men knitting. I’m all for ANYONE knitting… children, adults, grandparents, teenagers… if you’ve got hands and a brain, I vote that you use them to knit. This article focuses on the social stigma that male […]

Chevron Socks
And here’s another pair of socks that I haven’t shown you as a WIP and now show you as an FO. It’s magic! Pattern: Made up, knit from the top down (I usually knit socks from the toe up for C since he likes them as tall as possible), on 76 sts, in a 2×2 […]

In which I am Instalanched, but survive.
In this great wide internets world, a few new terms have been coined. When a larger site links to a smaller site, it can create a spike in traffic. If the smaller site is lacking in bandwidth, then it can crash the smaller site completely. When one is linked by Instapundit, it’s called an Instalanche. […]
Things I have learned in the past month
1. I don’t do well with posting if I don’t start the week out with a ton of posts all set to publish at daily intervals. Last week was such a crappy week for posting because I didn’t take the time on Sunday to work up the week’s posts. Even if I can get through […]
Really Random Wednesday
While walking around my neighborhood taking pictures of blossoming trees, I saw something a little strange. There was an electrical cord hanging down from a tree, so I started to investigate. Here’s a closer look… I believe it’s a portable DVD player…. that someone tied to a tree….. Seriously? WHY?! People never cease to amaze […]
Of Sweaters and Friends and Harlots
Aside from being a great opportunity to meet with other knitters, one of Stephanie‘s book tour stops always ends up being amusing and entertaining. She’s funny on stage, but she’s even funnier when you get her out from in front of all those staring, clapping people. Dinner with the grrls is always fun and this […]
Ruh-oh
C got sick this weekend. It started with a sore throat, and I figured it couldn’t be long until I got it myself. I thought he might be exaggerating about how much it hurt, but my throat has started with its own soreness this evening and I think he was dead serious. It hurts a […]
EPS Button Bands
EPS is done and blocked and there are pictures in my camera to prove it, but first thing’s first. I told you I had concocted a way to work the button bands, but didn’t elaborate. I wanted something that would blend well with the stockinette-with-a-purl-turning-row facings that I knit at cuffs, collar and hem. I […]
No pictures yet.
I have pictures, they’re just in my camera and I haven’t had the time to process them yet. On Monday night I was busy finishing the sweater, last night I finished my heretofore unseen Thelonious socks right before I left to go to knitting, and this morning I needed to shower, so there’s been no […]
