Look another small project completed. This is the sock blocker keychain I got from the Sisterhood of the Traveling Stash box. I used the leftover yarn from my Monkey socks. This is an easy fun pattern. It's also a great way to avoid the other thi

There's Something I Haven't Told You

I bought yarn. I know I shouldn't keep these things from you but it just kind of happened. Last week the husband had an entire weekday off. This only happens rarely so we decided to make it special. We packed the family up in the car and headed n

Best Laid Plans

What is this? Where is the sweater? The socks? The stole? Well, yesterday I was trapped in the house waiting and waiting for the arrival of a package. I had no idea what time it would arrive. Finally after waiting about half the day I heard the truck

I finished the Victorian Lace Socks this morning while waiting to take Simon to the groomer. The socks are the current pattern for the Six Sox KAL. I used my favorite size 1 Skacel needles and Knit Picks Gloss yarn in the color dusk. I did change a f

and still knitting. Sorry to have disappeared again. We've been busy but I have managed to get quite a bit done on the Victorian Lace Socks for the Six Sox KAL. The pattern is very easy once you get going. I had trouble getting going. The yarn is

Giving Up Is Not An Option

I have had the worst time with this sock. It's the Victorian Lace Sock, the next Six Sox KAL pattern. The first needles I tried where too flexible. I thought for sure I'd snap one. Then the Foxfire yarn I was using wouldn't cooperate. I k
