Trekking sock number 2 continues. I have completed the gusset decreases and I'm on the foot. I still love this yarn and I'm very happy to be working on a plain sock. It's perfect for exhausted evening knitting.Yesterday was another field

I worked on the Branching Out Scarf last night and it's coming along nicely. I am going to give it to my mother for Christmas to wear with her navy blue suede jacket. The yarn is Rowan Linen Drape. I have no idea how this is going to block. It

Another cloudy day here so the photo is rather washed out. I completed the first trekking sock on Friday and plunged right into the other when we got home Saturday evening. As you can see, well sort of, they don't match. I really never try to mat

Yet Again

I have other projects I could be working on but socks call to me. I can knit them mindlessly when I'm watching TV at night even if I'm really tired. This is the Trekking XXL yarn in color number 105 that I have casted on for the third ti

Thank you for the compliments on the sock and the good thoughts for our trip to the hospital. We had a fine time and everything went well, until the very end but more about that later. We took the subway from a local station, not the one we usually t
