I’m in need of sock name ideas. I’m at a loss with these so far.
As a reminder, the yarn is Panda Silk from Crystal Palace. It’s a luscious combination of bamboo and washable merino, with a touch of silk. The color is called Nutmeg Tones, which is perfect for this delightful play of browns. […]

This little sock has only four pattern rows… or is it eight? No it’s four. The second grouping is exactly the same as the first, only it’s offset by a stitch. Once on track for the row, it’s the same as before. Over all it’s easy to memorize, and I think it’ll look good in […]

My plan had been to spend most of the weekend knitting. After last week, I certainly needed that time. So much for plans. They’re meant to be changed, right? That’s the whole point in making them in the first place, right? Hm. We went out on Saturday afternoon, swung by Costco. “Swung by” being the […]

Most of this morning was taken up with doing a bunch of that sniggling paperwork that always takes more time than it seems like it should. That bit is done for now, though. It’s amazing all the things I can think of to do when there’s something that needs doing. I’m procrastinating. Again. I was […]

Making progress on the dress for Stephanie. I spent a bunch of time with a full chart of the armhole decreases yesterday before it dawned on me that, once again, I was making the whole thing much harder on myself than was strictly necessary. That bit figured out and written up, the knitting progressed quite […]

I went, I waited, I was sent home.
That’s pretty much how my day of jury duty went yesterday. Because I’m self-employed, and my employer, tight-fisted thing that she is doesn’t pay me for 10 days of jury duty, I managed to escape two different trials that were in need of jurors yesterday. That part […]

I have a big, fat jury summons here with my name on it, and no option to call in to find that my lot number has been dismissed. I thought I didn’t have to go until Wednesday. Sure glad that I picked the thing up to look at it last night, as it says that […]

It seems like I’ve been finishing things right and left lately, and all of them—well, almost all—have been blue, green, or some combination thereof. I’d still be knitting on the blue West Coast Swing cardigan, but I need different DPNs in order to knit the sleeves, and I can’t go one stitch farther on the […]

The socks are done
I’m not actually sure how to count this. In the end there are two finished socks. But along the way I knit three of them. I don’t know if you recall, but originally I knit the first sock with needles a size too big. Don’t ask. I have no idea why I […]

Amidst a flurry of activity, I released the market/string bag pattern yesterday, To Market.

The plan was to sell the pattern for a mere $5.00, but after looking into it, poking around on Ravelry, I decided that no one would ever make it, if I tried to sell it. There are just too many free […]
