Pompons!

I finished Amanda’s socks, and they are cute and silly and I’m sure she’ll love them! Yarn: Lang Jawoll in Gray and Pink (too lazy to look up the color numbers) purchased from Black Sheep Wool Company. Needles: US Size 1, 7″ cClover bamboo dpns. Pattern: None… Basic slipped stitch heel flap, I knitted them […]

FO, almost FO and spun fluff!

The FO (hat): Pattern: Susan‘s Live Dangerously, Don’t Swatch hat with a k3p1 rib and an attached I-cord bind-off. You can glean the pattern for free from her November Archives, or she’s now got it as a pdf for $3.00. Yarn: Plymoth Galway Worsted Wool (not sure what color any more) Needles: Size 6 Brittany […]

Stupid Sock Creature & Brother socks Fini!

Just a couple of FO’s to show you, only one of which is knitted. Her name is Genevieve. Her bottom half is one of those cheap gloves that you buy in grocery stores. I cut the fingers all off evenly, then folded the palm in half so that the thumb was in the center of […]

Icarus done (again)

This may be my second Icarus, but it’s really like finishing it for the first time. It was a completely different experience knitting it the second time around! This time around I just got to follow the pattern (and find the mistakes that were printed in it. I’ll tell you about that in a bit), […]

Happy Halloweeeeeeen!!!!!!!11one

I know, such an original title for today’s post… but LOOK! I have an FO! And JUST in time for Socktoberfest! Yarn: Some Norwegian heavyweight sock yarn that Bonnie dropped on the table at SnB to destash. There were 2 skeins of the tweed and one skein of the white. I tried to find this […]

So I took an unexpected leave of absence….

… and I’m back. It was a bad week, and I didn’t feel like blogging negative things, so I just didn’t blog. But now I’m here and I’ve finished (but not blocked) the Black Pearl Yarns Cashmere pieces. You can see a really boring photo of them all folded up here. But instead of dwelling […]

Joseph's Scarf!

I finished Joseph’s scarf! Apologies for the overly-flashed bathroom mirror at work picture. Joseph is an artist, paintings mostly. Right now he’s in a landscape phase. But his first gallery show is opening tomorrow and he wanted something nice to wear and to commemorate it. C and I want artwork. Joey has a couple of […]

Green Gable FO

Hey everybody! Guess what I’m wearing RIGHT NOW!? That’s right! Green Gable! I finished it just moments before leaving for SnB, and it’s GREAT! C even likes it and he’s indifferent at best about most of my knits. Yarn: Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece (80% cotton, 20% wool) in Mariner Blue. Pattern: Adapted from Green Gable […]

Catching Up

Let’s cover the weekend first shall we? I made a veritable ton of jam! And the 3 jars of peach salsa on the left. the nectarine jam on the right was made on Saturday morning, and the Blackberry & Plum jam (yes, it really is a mouth watering as it sounds) in the middle was […]

Piece of (Strawberry) Cake

I have finished the Crushed Strawberry Socks! They were fun and fairly quick, and honestly, I like the fit other than being too short for me (I decided to make them for the long-range planning department, as I couldn’t fathom knitting something for myself when I see Christmas looming along with all the other stuff […]
