It felt like these socks took forever to knit. Partially because I knit almost three of them. The first one was out of Nerdclub2000′s Elementary Sock in Macbeth’s Tartan, but after the gusset decreases, I frogged it. Weird pooling and I really didn’t like how the colors looked in reverse stockinette stitch. So now I’ve [...]

Isn’t it cute? This teapot was a Christmas gift from my sister Jaz (along with tea and teaballs). She knows me so well. I love the pattern and the colors on it. ^_^ No new news really. Still knitting Rhombus. I would’ve had the pair done by now, but I got sidetracked by two things. [...]

Yesterday, I went to the Land of Shoppertunity. This is amazing for two reasons. One, I hate crowds and going to Meadowhall on a Saturday? So busy. (Don’t even get me started on the women bringing their massive strollers into the tiny shops where they knock over everything because they don’t fit in between the [...]

The above socks have been done for awhile now. The sad thing is, they’re not for me. I mentioned them awhile ago. My sister replied to my e-mail with: “thank youu, i like socks !” so she’s getting them. I’m just annoyed that the second one fits me! I realized why my gauge changed so [...]

I have cast on another pair of socks. No, the Sake socks aren’t done. Last night, I finished the gusset decs on the first Sake sock and decided to try it on. Guess what? It doesn’t fit! I can’t get it to go past my ankle. So, either my youngest sister will want them and [...]

Today, the post’ll have to be in list form because, well, I like lists and I don’t really have much to say. 1) Thira is done. Took less than a week to knit. No pics yet because the weather is being uncooperative. 2) Cast on new project: Kernel scarf (knitty pattern) from the Manos Silk [...]

These have been done for awhile now, but I haven’t had a chance to blog because omg Busy. First there was IVDC (in Blackpool), then the following weekend was O’s birthday party. ‘Twas awesome, almost the whole dance team came! Had a bit of a *flail* moment when I realized how many would actually be [...]

I’ve reached the halfway point in my crochet blanket! Yay! Now onto the knitting content. Just realized I hadn’t blogged about the first socks I knit this month, so this’ll be a double FO post. Both of these are a part of the Knit.Sock.Love KAL I’m in. The green socks are the Marilinda pattern knit [...]

The pattern is live! *happy dance* These mittens were made to match the Sade hat. Rolled “brim” cuffs, twisted stitches, the same twisted decrease patterning… The only thing missing is the seed stitch. I didn’t see that as being very comfortable on hands. The left mitten decreases towards the right, the right towards the left [...]
