rose colored progress

By me • Jul 23rd, 2007 • Category: knitting

Just in case you may have been thinking I’ve given up on my sock pal’s socks completely I present you with this progress shot:

WARNING: you may need your sunglasses to protect your eyes from the glare off my fish-belly white legs!

I haven’t blogged about them because I’ve been doing a few rows here and there [...]



rethinking the socks

By me • Jun 8th, 2007 • Category: knitting

In the midst of all the packing, moving, and planning for the fall I’ve also been trying to work on my sockapalooooza pal’s socks whenever I get a chance to sit down. Typically it’s late at night when I’m trying to wind down and relax so I can go to sleep. Needless to say my [...]



bella blouse

By me • May 17th, 2007 • Category: knitting

I bought myself a birthday present today. Sure, it’s a few weeks early, but hopefully it will be here in time for me to spend the day, wherever I am, working on this top. Ever since I saw the Bella Blouse from Interweave Knits a few weeks ago I’ve wanted it. I even love the [...]



not your typical pal

By me • May 8th, 2007 • Category: knitting

I’m a member of Sockapalooooza 4. After stalking the sock swap last year I decided that I really wanted to join this year because I love wearing handmade socks but simply cannot motivate myself enough to finish a pair for myself - other people, yes, myself, no. For you non-knitters out there (that would be [...]

Hah!

I’m a member of a blog that broke Blogger!
Who would have thought 1000 knitters would have been too much for one blog?

nothing much

By me • Apr 26th, 2007 • Category: cats, knitting, school

There’s actually been a lot going on in the last week or so that I could have been writing about - horrible doctor’s office experiences and a possible ruptured ovarian cyst (ultimately not that serious, just painful), a clean house (for once), moderately nice weather (it’s about damn time), lots of stuff growing in the [...]



complete yarn lust

By me • Mar 8th, 2007 • Category: knitting

Today the 2007 Spring Knitty came out. Typically I find a pattern or two that I print out and put into my gigantic binder of patterns that may or may not be made sometime in my lifetime. A pattern has to be pretty damn special for me to push it to the top of the [...]



crafty, not krafty

By me • Jan 28th, 2007 • Category: knitting, rants, school

Wikipedia definition of crafts:
A craft is a skill, especially involving practical arts. It may refer to a trade or particular art.”
I will admit it - I am a proud craftsperson. I sew, spin, and knit in my spare time (also refinish furniture when the mood is right.) Normally I immediately follow that admission up with [...]
