Didn’t realize it, but yesterday’s post was number 100!  Not bad, considering I figured I’d get bored with this blog and stop posting to it after a week (this was attempt 4 or 5 at starting a blog).  I was going to do a contest, but with the move still not completed, it probably isn’t [...]

I figured it would be a good time to do an update on the projects I’m doing. Currently in my knitting bag are my Feather and Fan Facecloth, the Felici Socks, and the newly started Zombie Socks.
I’m almost done with the facecloth. This pattern knits up quite quickly, and I’m loving the results. [...]

Ok, let’s take a break from the food for a bit, and back to the knitting. As you can probably tell, I haven’t been knitting too much this week, but I have put in a little bit of time on my feather and fan facecloth. This is a very simple lace pattern, and [...]

Wow… knitting. I have been slacking this week, mostly because I have been working on my blog. Knitting has kind of been put on hold all week. I have managed to get a little bit of work done on my Felici socks, and I’m very tickled with the way they’ve been coming [...]

Is knitting a religion? Could be… and judging from the Ravelry forums, there are thousands of denominations! I found this lovely post over at The Lumpy Knitter’s blog - The Sacraments of Knitting: A Simple Tract. Go take a look, I think you’ll enjoy it. It definitely made me smile.
I wonder [...]

Ok… never knit while drinking. I knew it was a Bad Idea, and yet I did it anyway. Four stitches in, and I dropped a stitch. Not a good thing. I couldn’t find my teeny crochet hook to fix it, which is probably a good thing. I think I would [...]

Well, the socks are going well. I have finished the toes, and am working on a rib pattern on the top of the sock. Pretty simple, just a K1, P1, K2, P1, K1, P2 rib on one, reversed to a P2, K1, P1, K2, P1, K1 rib on the other sock. I didn’t [...]

…Socks!
I am casting on a basic pair of socks using the techniques I have learned in Silver’s Sock Class. I’m going to do a few modifications to the pattern, including trying out a double wrap short row heel (tutorial found here at Misocrafty) instead of the single wrap that I did on the previous [...]

I’ve been working on the first pair of socks from Silver’s Sock Class (Two at once toe-up socks), and I’m pleased to say that they are finally finished. I’m not too happy with the way the heels came out, so I think I’m going to try a double wrap short row next time. [...]

Or, what to knit when you’re stuck in a car for eleven hours.
I brought some cotton yarn with me on our trip, figuring I’d knit up a coaster on the way. Just for something to keep my hands busy on the road, you know?

Little did I know that I’d be in the truck for [...]
