It was way too hot over the weekend to knit much of anything, especially anything with any bulk at all. It was also too hot to think much. Certainly too hot to dig through stitch pattern books, chart, plan, swatch, and think.
Since I already had a very specific plan for the Tenaya mitts, I […]
I’ve been a sock-knitting maniac lately. Got the gusset done on the second (still nameless) sock yesterday, and a bit more besides. I’m going to be so glad to have these socks done. They’ve been a thorn in my side since I first cast on in what? Early March? Ugh.
The first sock is a […]
I have to say that I’m very glad I took Dave’s advice on Saturday, and left the house nearly two hours before I was due to meet Anne, Kim (sadly blogless), and Jocelyn in Encinitas for lunch, a little knitterly companionship and fun. Encinitas is a small coastal town about 20 miles north of San […]
It’s one of those basic things. Planned for, knit for, tested, tried and true. But a part of me is still more than a little surprised that the socks I knit actually fit my foot.
I’m sure that a large part of this is because I have short feet, and since my feet got to […]
Another blogiversay—or is it blogoversary? Either way, three years ago today I started my blog and wrote my first post. It’s rather amazing. I’ve made some wonderful friends, some few of whom I’ve met in real life, most I haven’t. But whether we’ve met face-to-face or not, your friendship, kindness, support are of immense importance […]
Last week Anne wrote a post that referred to me and linked here to my blog. That day I got 525 hits to my blog! I know. I was amazed. Astounded. All’s back to normal now, with my just-over-100 hits-per-day thing going on. I liked getting all that attention, though. It was fun.

I have no new pictures for you today. I know. Can you believe it? And I’m bothering to post, too, mostly to share my backwards progress.
First up: Cathy at Twist is awesome. Not only has she hung in there with me through the continuing saga of the black Malabrigo Lace, but she also dug […]
On Monday I posted about my dissatisfaction with the way the beautiful Bambino yarn from Chameleon Colorworks was pooling. Out came the knitting. And boy, am I glad. So far I only have a half inch of knitting done on the smaller needles, but the colors are behaving, not yet pooling at all. The colors […]
I’ve begun knitting Emerald’s yoke and raglan decreases. There are a lot of stitches on the needles right now, because of it. It’s funny, though. It looks (and feels) like there are more stitches than there really are.
What you’re seeing is both fronts, the back, and both sleeves all being knit up at once. […]
I’ve been tagged. Not just by one person, but by two. For the same meme. I know it’s taken me a while to get back to you, Christina and Angela, but I finally have. Thank you both very much for thinking of me! Here are the rules:
Link to your tagger and post the rules on […]
