I don’t have any progress pictures for you, as it’s the middle of the night, and much, much too dark for photo taking. Rest assured that good progress is being made on the shawl for Karen. I had a bit of a glitch yesterday, forgot to put two beads on it. I ended up tinking […]
I haven’t ripped out the huge bag yet. I did some poking around on Ravelry, and found Angela’s Fabulous Felted Bag (on Ravelry). Before and after felting sizes, and gauge are all listed on the pattern. I had one little thing that I wanted clarified, asked, and received a very nice response from Angela within […]
I don’t have much for you today. The knitting projects have grown. They don’t look much different than they did yesterday, especially the bag, at least not to a camera’s eye.
I did get something fun in the mail yesterday, though. I’ve talked about Book Mooch a number of times, and all the fabulous books […]
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’ve been thinking about what to name the green sock I’m working on, and Rivulets simply doesn’t do it for me. Close. Right theme, wrong name. I liked the river idea, so let my brain flow around that one for a little while, thought of a few of the rivers I know here in California: […]
The weather this year is very confused. It’s actually raining. I was sitting there on the floor—I come from a family of floor-sitters, what can I say?—grafting the two ends of my scarf together, and suddenly it got quite dark. I looked up, looked out the window. Are those… Raindrops? Yes. They are. I tried […]
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 […]
Tilt
While waiting for the second ball of black Malabrigo Lace to arrive, I’ve so far made good progress on the brown sock. It’s going well. The sock has even decided on a name for itself: Tilt.
Yup. It’s the same stitch pattern I tried to use with the Figgy Pudding yarn, but we all know […]
I showed the vine shawl (Dulcavina?) to Kristie yesterday afternoon when we got together, and she agreed. That black Malabrigo Lace is half the diameter of the other Malabrigo Lace, and that includes the gorgeous Tuareg that she’s knitting doing her test knit with. And it just doesn’t look right. We talked about the potential […]
