I am *this* close to joining Sock Wars. Perhaps I will take stock of my sock yarn this weekend and if I can get something finished within the next week, then I will join. I’m up to 7 pages of charts for the Hidcote shawl! And I’m REALLY not done yet. I still have another […]

One more quick thing…. SOCK WARS!
*sings* dum dum DUMMMMM! Have you all SEEN THIS!? I am so torn! Pros: You get SOCKS, but they Kill you!  How cool is that!? You get to challenge yourself by knitting socks at lightning speed. You get handknit socks! I have NEVER got handknit socks. Only ones I’ve made for myself. It’s a […]
The Stash Enhancement Experience
First off, have you ever wanted Addi Turbos to have pointier tips? Read Grumperina’s post and then send in your thoughts to the Skacel company! I’ve already sent my e-mail. Second off then, here’s the STUFF. I bought a 2+ pound cone of 2/4 Highland Tweed from Webs. At the price it was, it was […]

Knit and DESTROY!
The lovely and talented Kim (who hasn’t posted for a week *pout*) sent me a birthday present! Yes, it’s a month and a half after my birthday, but totally not her fault. Lookie! The journal comes from BookJournals.com, where they make journals out of interesting old books. Mine was originally Away All Boats by Kenneth […]
Hmm….
I’ve had this window open for about 2 hours hoping to be inspired on what to write. I’ve still got nothin’. OK, I take it back. I like apricots. How’s that for content? The scarf was progressing, but I’ve got a shooting pain in my left elbow from a nerve issue in my neck that […]
I’m absolutely crazy. Thought you all should know. If you’re interested in why, keep reading, I’ll cover it at the end so you can skip it if you’re bored. I keep sniffing my wrists. I got some lovely perfumes from an etsy shop and then realized when the package came that the artisan was in […]
Silk and a Shitload of Stitches
On the left you have the beginnings of the scarf for Andie. I have swatched, washed and measured, and as a result I have cast on 301 stitches! That basically took my whole morning commute, but the balls are all wound, the stitches are cast on, the pattern is even charted, so all I have […]
