Done, What's Next?

Wednesday evening I finished the Circle Socks (free pattern available on ravelry) but didn't kitchener the last toe until yesterday. This photo is pretty good as far as color goes. The yarn is Claudia Hand Painted in the blue sky colorway. I

Prospective

Today all you're getting is the knitting. The Circle socks are progressing quickly. I am surprising myself at how quickly they are moving along but I guess when one actually knits on one project it does show progress. I don't know how I manag

Guess Who We Met Today?

N was so happy to hear last week that Curious George would be visiting our library. He's a huge fan. Every day he remembered what the date was and counted how many more days until George would visit. Today was the big day and Curious George did n

If This Is Tuesday...

It is my mother's birthday. Happy Birthday Mom!! As I was kitchenering the toe of the Tessellating lace socks (free pattern on ravelry) I was thinking about Circle socks (also a free pattern on ravelry). I was planning to knit

Wash, Rinse, Repeat

My days have settled into a pretty regular routine. I like having a regular routine but I don't like the treadmill feeling and that's what this routine feels like. My father is still in the hospital, improving at a much slower rate than expec

My Weekend And Then Some

Tuesday, 13 May 2008 8:41 A GMT-05
On Sunday we ventured north to the NH Sheep & Wool Festival. We've been going to this festival for the last 4 years, I think. It's become a Mother's Day tradition. There are certain things we do every year. Of cour

As The Sock Grows

Friday, 9 May 2008 8:12 A GMT-05
Things have turned into a bit of a soap opera here. Last week my father called from Florida, where he winters, to say that he was coming home early because he needed to see the specialist here as opposed to the primary care doctor there. As we arrang

The New Monkey?

Wednesday, 7 May 2008 9:03 A GMT-05
After frogging the sweater and pulling the needles from the red Trekking sock-Did I mention that?-, I was feeling a little down about my knitting. I started the Tessellating Lace sock (pattern on ravelry-linky thing still won't link) figuring tha

Decided

Tuesday, 6 May 2008 8:23 A GMT-05
Anyone who has been around here for a while knows I am not one to put up with knits I'm unhappy with. That said the decision about the Gathered Pullover had been made before I posted yesterday. It took about an hour to frog. While I do feel badly

What's A Knitter To Do?

Monday, 5 May 2008 8:14 A GMT-05
As you may be able to tell by the photo things aren't going so well here for the Gathered Pullover. Right now I am at the 50/50 point. Do I rip the whole thing and start again? Do I keep going? What do you do when the knit you have isn't the

Surreal

Saturday, 3 May 2008 12:58 P GMT-05
I was playing around with the new camera and decided to take some outdoor photos on this gray rainy day. Here is the most interesting of the lot. I planted this Bleeding Heart about 12 years ago. Over that time the bushes around i
