I guess I lied in my previous post. I'm still talking about Cookie because I was gripped with the urge to knit her Wedge socks from the new book. I decided to knit them out of my Blue Moon FIber Arts mill-dyed Sock Candy. I was very excited to see that they were making mill-dyed Sock Candy since I had some bad fading experiences with the hand-dyed ( Read more... )

It's nice that the classes are online but at the same time it ( Read more... )

I'm still alive and still knitting. And knitting and knitting and knitting! I picked up my wrap sweater again and am still working on Erik's sweater. I took it with me to the conference this past weekend and knitted in all the sessions. It is currently about 16 inches long. I thought I only had 2 inches to go but I held it up to Erik last night and ( Read more... )
