I don’t have much today. Just a few things. I’m too tired to think past that. Got up some time between 4:00 and 5:00, and slept poorly while I was in bed. Nearly got up at 1:00… It was amazing that I lasted in bed as long as I did. Let’s see. Oh yeah. Socks. […]
It doesn’t just seem like it. I really have been getting a lot of books lately. It’s been wonderful! About a one and a half weeks ago I got an old stitch dictionary from Mon Tricot, 1030 stitches. Won it on eBay. It’s a little beaten. It’s a little shopworn. It’s spine has dinks, its […]

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 […]
I am a cat person. Don’t get me wrong. I love dogs. Love them. I pretty much love every furry animal I’ve come across, actually. Total sucker for a fuzzy face and big eyes. Or beady ones. I loved the hamster and hooded rats I had as a youth, too. And the dog we had […]
I’m a couple days late for “B” and the ABC Along. Sigh.
I’m still feeling a bit blue about the blue Mingus sock. I haven’t done a thing with it since I tried it on late last week, and it was, uh, a bit tough to tug over my heel. I really don’t want to […]
I forgot to tell you yesterday that the lovely yarn I’m knitting this sock out of is Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock in the Sand Ridge colorway. It’s been in my stash since last summer—I think. When I was digging in my sock yarn stash for a solid yarn to knit a pair of socks out […]
When I saw that the ABC Along had been revived, and that I was in time to get in at the beginning, I had to join. I loved watching everyone play along a couple years ago—has it really been that long?—and it looked like fun to do, so here I am. At “A.”
“A” is for […]
Hello, Diane. Do you want to come over and take a look at my swatches?
I finished knitting around both Sizzle armholes
the other day, and just now finally got around to dunking it in the sink for a good soak.
The plan is to block it out, then sew up the sides, weave in the […]
I saw this over on Brenda’s blog. I’ve been saving it.
What’s your favorite sock yarn? (Please note that the word ‘yarn’ is singular. Just pick one. I know it’s hard.) I really haven’t used all that many different sock yarns. Hm. At the moment, I think my favorite is Fleece Artists’s Basic Merino. It knits […]
