Can't Blog….
… World of Warcraft ate my BRAINS! I did make a LOT of jam this weekend and did a few loads of laundry, but other than that played with my new toy and played WoW. More on that tomorrow hopefully.
Socks on Parade!
The baby sock parade continues! You can click the image for notes on the yarn and what projects the leftovers were from. I realized most of them were blues and greens, so I decided to branch out with the Koigu. And what discerning baby wouldn’t love Koigu socks 🙂 I have the laceweight yarn for […]

New York City, Part II: Yarn and Knitting
Our yarn crawl wasn’t terribly spectacular, but it was just what I wanted. We went to Habu Textiles (where you stand at this wall full of hanks of simply amazing yarns and then tell them what you want and how much of it and they wind it off for you) and to School Products (which […]

C and I went in search of earrings this weekend. I bought a pair and he said they weren’t pretty enough to do me justice, which, while being sweet is totally not the answer I was looking for when I asked if he liked them. After a bit of prying I discovered that he thinks […]

It chornicals the history and evolution of a specific brand of Norwegian knitting that centers around a town called Selbu, who created a glorious and varied culture of mitten knitting. The book […]
Mama's got a new pair of shoes!
I promise that I am getting just as sick of photo-less posts as you are. I am knitting, I just can’t show it to you. It’s all contract work or I’ve managed to not take pictures before it disappears. Like the 2 pairs of wee baby socks I made for a friend’s coworker’s new premie […]
