The Bex socks are done!
Out of 100g of yarn, I had 3g left. Talk about cutting it close!
All in all, I really like the pattern. Got into a nice groove once I had it memorized. The leg portions took forever (approx 2 mins per needle, yes I’m a dork and timed myself while knitting during [...]
I’ve been knitting on my Bex socks almost exclusively this week. Today, it’s the only project that I’ve touched. Past the gusset decreases now. Kinda worried about running out of yarn. :/
So to steel myself against that possible eventuality, I’ve made my self a drink: Apple Sourz and lemonade (the British kind, sort of like [...]
Still snowing. Still knitting. But now with chocolate buns at O’s request. ^_^
First of all, the snow is still here. I took that pic on Jan 5th, but the front yard still looks pretty much the same so I didn’t bother taking a new photo. Pretty, isn’t it?
Secondly, even with all of this snow, the buses are still running so I’ve been working during week. This explains [...]
Everyone seems to be blogging about all that happened to them in 2009.
I shall sum up my year thusly:
1) Finished my MA
2) Lots of knitting (esp socks, but a sweater or two or FIVE snuck in there)
3) Got a baby brother and learned that a nephew/niece is on the way in spring 2010 so this [...]
I lurves my mailman. He actually knocked this time!
Okay, so yesterday I decided to buy some yarn (yeah, like I *need* more, but there ya go). The yarn is from The Knitting Goddess. Bought it yesterday, got here today. Love her service.
Anyways, what I got was some 4ply 100% superwash merino in Cinnamon Trio and [...]
I want to buy yarn. Like now. From Lisa Souza. I (heart) Lisa Souza. I want the Alpaca Lace and some Sock! and Sock! Merino wouldn’t hurt either. And I would looooooooooove to get some silk as well. Any silk really. A silk blend even.
And Lisa’s colors… *drool* I want Milk & Honey, Emerald City, [...]
There's just something that I like about getting up before everyone else, drinking tea and hearing the rain come down. Calming.
Getting checks is a real pain here in Finland. Okay, so on Friday we went to Lahti to get some from Sampo. The girl we got looked like she had no clue what she was [...]
And I’ve finished the fourth chapter. \o/ Dunno if drinking two cups of Persian Earl Grey tea helped or not, but I’m still happy. I would’ve gotten it done earlier, but a certain someone keeps sending me text messages and interrupting my train of thought. At least it’s done now. No clue right now how [...]
*yawn* I really should go to sleep. It’s just nice being up all by myself, having me time. Haven’t had much of that lately. It’s just so cramped around here. Seven people living together… soon it’ll be eight when my uncle gets back from my other uncle’s summer cottage. Good news though, I won’t have [...]
