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 […]
As promised, here’s a picture of my completed Sizzle. It’s a horrible picture, taken in the bedroom against the mirror that we do our best to hide with a huge and unwieldy headboard (the thing is ghastly, but I haven’t yet been able to do a thing about it—ugh!). Much better pictures of the nearly […]
This isn’t completely a swatch. The leaves are all knit up and ready to go (I love the leaves). I was even clever when I got to the top, if I do say so myself. Looks just like I wanted it to. If only I could get the right flower pattern for the top of […]
Sizzle
I’m getting there. Sizzle is almost done. But I’ve been shawl swatching, so Sizzle’s temporarily taken a back seat. It’s all blocked out. It’s even dry. All I need to do is sew up the sides and weave in the ends.

I’m not sure how it came up. Oh wait. I remember. Dave was telling […]
Though there’s still plenty to tell you about our trip to Montana, I thought it was high time I got a little more knitting content inserted into this blog.
First up. Yes. I have been knitting! When I started the lace scarf over Thanksgiving everything else got dropped like a hot potato. Now that the […]
I finished up the first Candy Wrappers sock over the weekend. Not sure which day that was. Friday night, maybe? Hm. Must have been. We spent Saturday evening with friends, and I didn’t knit when there, so it must have been on Friday. Yesterday I started the next sock, and that does narrow it down […]
Though I’ve knit a few rows on Clapotis and the mystery shawl and on the lace swatch, I don’t have anything of note to say, nor photographs to share regarding those projects. Oh, and while we’re briefly on the subject of knitting, if you’re in the Los Angeles area the middle of next month, you […]
Because of the wonderful Summer Mystery Reading Challenge I’ve found a new (to me) author to add to my list of favorites, Charlotte MacLeod. After finishing her delightful mystery, The Family Vault, I really should have moved on to another new mystery author. After all, I’ve only tried three new authors so far this summer, […]
It’s been feeling a bit like Christmas around here. Especially Saturday and today. Saturday I got a pile of books that I ordered from this seller on Half.com. Since it was one seller, the shipping was relatively reasonable for three books, and the seller shipped them in a nice, well-fitting box.
What did I get?
Why […]
In spite of the fact that I intentionally didn’t spend very much time working on the stole at any one sitting, and spread out the enjoyment of knitting the second clue as much as possible, I still finished it yesterday afternoon.
I’m still in love with this shawl. I love how the border is knit […]
