Contest Update
I’ve been playing with my beads today, and I made a set of stitch markers that match the yarn I’m giving away in the contest. I figured they’d be a great addition to the sock yarn, so I’ll be sending them to the person who wins the haiku contest.
I hope everyone likes these, it’s my first attempt at making a “set” of stitch markers. Go enter the Sock Yarn Haiku Contest, and have a chance to win!

New flatware from my contest prize! This is my comparison shot… the old stuff is on the left, the new stuff is on the right. These are huge compared to my old flatware. The small spoons are about the same size as the soup spoons in my old set, the salad forks are about the same

The winner is… me! I’m really excited, I wasn’t expecting to win this. So… the prize was a $40 gift certificate for CSN Stores, and if you follow the link you’ll see that they have a TON of stuff to choose from. I’ve been dithering all day trying to decide what to get. I finally decided
Brian’s sweater update

I’m having a love/hate relationship with this sweater (The Fog Sweater by Tiennie). I love the yarn, I love the pattern, I love the way the fabric feels. What I hate is k1,p1 rib. Endless swaths of k1,p1 rib. It’s going to make a beautiful sweater, but I’m having a really hard time with it.

Sorry, blog surfing today, so I’m kind of… random. I found another great contest, if you love beads: Denise Yezbak Moore, owner of Rusty Roxx Jewelry, is giving away a massive amount of beads. Seven and a half pounds of beads in one contest. Help her decide if she should give them all to one

Actual Knitting Content: The Fog Sweater

Progress has been made on Brian’s sweater. I finally found a pattern I liked, that would work with the yarn I had. The sweater is called “The Fog Sweater“, based on a sweater the designer saw in the movie “The Fog“. It’s a simple drop-sleeve sweater with a LOT of ribbing; the body of the

Yes, I’ve actually been knitting lately! I’ve made a couple of hats.. one for William, and one for Brian. Will promptly lost his after having it for less than a month. I’ve told him if he wants me to knit him another, he’s going to have to buy the yarn himself, and it’s NOT allowed

I’ve finished the bobbles, and have moved on to the pattern. This is a very simple pattern… a 12 row repeat, basically k3, p3 all the way around, shifting over one stitch every two rows. It makes a nice spiral “ribbing”. I’m liking the yarn. It’s a slightly uneven texture… not a thick/thin, but there
New knitting project begins.

Warning! Actual knitting content! It’s been over a year since I’ve knitted. I’ve picked up the needles a few times, but first it was life getting in the way, and more recently, pain. The pain is not gone, but it’s under enough control that I actually feel like picking up some knitting and making something.
