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 […]
For the last several months I’ve been scouring poking around on the Internet, looking for a dressmaker’s form that I can use to display shawls and things on, so that I don’t have to hang them over the railing.

As I approached the top edge of the sock I contemplated different cast-off methods I know. Hm. They’re all pretty tight except for the single crochet cast off, so I used that. It explains the slight flaring at the top edge of the cuff. […]
