Do Over

I ripped the last sweater. It just wasn't doing it for me at all. It is gone. I cast on this incarnation the other day. I do not dare call it a sweater. It's the same pattern as the navy blue sweater I did a while back. The verdict is still o

Denials and Distractions

I've been playing around with the Regia Galaxy yarn I bought a while back. It's a fussy little yarn that has to be knit at the right gauge so as to have the design appear as it's intended. First I cast on 60 sts even though Beth said she
Look What I Made!

When Beth was here on Sunday she gave me a quick spinning lesson. Right away I caught on to the drafting thing. I hadn't been predrafting enough when I tried before. This made a difference, until I started over drafting this morning. Anyway the

Once upon a time, not that long ago, when I wanted to knit a sweater I would pick out a pattern and follow it blindly. Most of the time would end up with an OK sweater that didn't fit very well. All of the time they looked 100% better on th

During the summer we paid a visit to Windsor Button where I let N pick out some yarn for socks. His favorite color is red so of course he wanted red socks. I bought one skein of Lang Jawoll and it wasn't until I cast on and had knit most of one s
Knitting Socks: A Meme
Wednesday, 10 September 2008 8:48 A GMT-05
I saw this at Terry's and then at Carole's . It called to me since I am all about the socks. When did you first learn to knit socks? The first sock I knit was actually a Christmas stocking. It was 1992. I knit 3 of them and didn't k
The Full Report

I finished the socks, finally. For someone who has knit kind of a lot of socks, these simple socks were a challenge at times. I had to knit one of them twice due to gauge issues. I had knit a different pattern and just wans't happy with the way t

On Being Strong
Saturday, 6 September 2008 12:08 P GMT-05
So it's been a while. I haven't been in the mood to blog. Yes, I have to be in the mood to blog or more correctly in the right frame of mind. I force myself to walk a very fine line between being my true and totally honest self and a more hea
