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 […]

Canal du Midi Socks
What’s this?? Finished socks of course! Pattern: Canal du Midi from Knitting on the Road by Nancy Bush. Modifications: I shortened the cuff, extended the ribbing down the back of the cuff (the original only had ribbing halfway down the back. I also changed the heel turn to be my favorite one. I also changed […]
Thanks everyone for the advice about postal services. I’ll give the USPS one more chance with Global Express mail (which is insured, so I bet they’ll keep better track of it), but if that goes astray, I’m switching to FedEx. You know I was going to show you an FO sweater today, but the designer […]
Project Revealed
Wow! Thank you so much for the great response to the camisole! I think I may have settled on a name, but I’ll keep the contest open until tomorrow (Thursday) at 5:00 pm Mountain Time. I have to tell you, I keep looking at the pictures and thinking “Wow! I’m hot!” That doesn’t happen often. […]
Camisole needs a name!
OK, all of you intrepid knitters. My creativity has been all used up, so I’m opening this up for your help. I need a name for this Camisole. As you may recall (or have noticed) I don’t like to name my patterns with female names. It honestly drives me crazy, but that’s another subject for […]
Apparently I have no life.
I spent the weekend doing none of the things I had planned to do (cleaning, baking, laundry, organizing the stash). Instead I sat on my ass, watched Season 2 of Grey’s Anatomy (OMG! The drama just sucks you in!) borrowed from my lovely neighbor, and knit the Black Walnut Socks. And finished them. I think […]
Great Sighs of Relief
The work craziness is all but over. I have to go collect some binders to FedEx back to the people they belong to and that’s IT! There were a couple of 12 hour days, about 10 cartons (cartons, not reams) of paper, and a REALLY cold conference room, but it’s over, most likely for the […]

Christmas of Socks
This is my widdul brover Daniel (and me… I’m the one with the wierd face on the left). Daniel liked his socks 🙂 It was good to spend some time with him again as he’s been busy with school and working 2 jobs all the previous times I was there to visit. We used to […]
Last of the Christmas Knitting
2 things before all others: 1. Thank you for all the well-wishes for my brother. He’s finally in his own room, so when I call him tonight I’ll let him know all the well-wishes from knitters. I think he’ll be shocked. 2. Pop on over to Fickleknitter and see Michelle’s brand new FO. Maya Abigail […]
