So the 1000th comment? That was my Mom, Claudia, but since immediate relatives are automatically disqualified from the contest, the winner was the 1001st comment, Tasha! Tasha, I’ve sent you an e-mail (2 actually… because I’m retarded), so send me your address and I’ll get some goodies in the mail to you! And I stand […]

Bestest Friends in the WORLD! AAAND contest!
I really have fabulous friends. The friend who is getting married? Yeah, she’s the queen of the lot. By the way, her name is Miriam too… so that’s why I don’t refer to her by name…. so I all her Nametwin… so that’s how I’ll probably refer to her through this whole shawl knitting process. […]
Better-fitting* Toe-up Heel Flap Tutorial
I have a narrow heel and a relatively high instep. This means that a short row heel made with half the total stitches doesn’t fit me. It wobbles around and feels strange. Plus I don’t like the extra straining bits around the front of my ankle. I love the comfort and fit of the cute […]
So excited I'm going to explode!
So my best friend told me this week that she’s getting married! Congrats lovey! And I’ve been thinking about it for a couple of days…. I love her so much and I really wanted to make her something phenomenal for her wedding. Something heirloom quality, something lace. I’ve got a while because she’s not getting […]
Woot! Stuff!
Dis over at A Little Loopy (love you girls!) posted a link to The Loopy Ewe and I went strolling on over because Dis mentioned my 2 favorite 4 letter words – SOCK YARN! I’ve been dying to try some Fleece Artist Sock yarn and so I bought myself a skein in the beautiful Mahogany […]
Woot! Success!
Friends, I have succeeded in my quest for toe up heel perfection! Behold! OK, maybe not prefection, as those looser stitches could be tightened up a bit, but it’s pretty near perfection for me :)You may recall that I first knit a toe-up heel flap with the Crushed Strawberry socks. I used Cookie‘s Toe up […]
Happy Halloweeeeeeen!!!!!!!11one
I know, such an original title for today’s post… but LOOK! I have an FO! And JUST in time for Socktoberfest! Yarn: Some Norwegian heavyweight sock yarn that Bonnie dropped on the table at SnB to destash. There were 2 skeins of the tweed and one skein of the white. I tried to find this […]
Links all around!
Today I need to empty my brain, so I’m just gonna dump a bunch of links that I think you should see. I’ll put knitting content at the end 🙂 1. Andie at Renaissance Dyeing has put up the kits for my patterns that use her yarn! You can purchase the kit for the Riverwide […]
So I took an unexpected leave of absence….
… and I’m back. It was a bad week, and I didn’t feel like blogging negative things, so I just didn’t blog. But now I’m here and I’ve finished (but not blocked) the Black Pearl Yarns Cashmere pieces. You can see a really boring photo of them all folded up here. But instead of dwelling […]
Sneak Peek at the Cashmere Wrap
So I decided it was time to show you a bit of the loveliness that is this cashmere wrap. What you see above is the diamond cable motif. I love it so much! And the simplicity of this design has me very VERY excited 🙂 And here’s another pic of the beginning of the diamond […]
