I didn’t get a chance to finish the pictures and posts for this week, so bear with me. Hopefully I should have a tutorial for you tomorrow. M

Knitting in the Mainstream Media
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 […]
Thelonious Socks
Gotta catch you up on some FO’s…. Pattern: Thelonious by CookieA Size: Medium Yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy in the colorway “Blue Lagoon” Needles: 2.5 mm (US 1.5) Crystal Palace Bamboo DPNs. 2 sets. Modifications: I extended the patterning a little past the last chart to make the travelling motifs come together on the instep […]
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 […]
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 […]
I've titled this one "Internal Dialogue with Profanity"
M1: Do it, cut it! Hundreds of thousands of knitters have done this before. Don’t freak out! M2: All those other knitters were CRAZY! This is CRAZY! Knitting should not be cut in half! M1: This was your plan all along, so just stick with the plan M2: What if I missed a step, what […]
