Not! Wow, I keep thinking of things I'd like to blog about, but I can't manage to sit down at the computer long enough to do so. I miss that part of having an office job. Last time I worked in an office, I had lots of time to write and read blogs, but working in the yarn store and at school, not so much ( Read more... )

I finished my Spectrum scarf and just need to block it and weave in the ends. The pattern says to block before weaving in the ends so its awaiting the blocking now. I normally don't have finished projects with ends hanging out, I have to conscientiously leave it there with the ends dangling ( Read more... )

I just got back from a week long cruise to Alaska. Celebrity Cruise is a nice ship with great service. Alaska is awesome and once I get my pics organized I'll post them on my Flickr and link here. My wonderful friends were awesome to be with and Candy is an awesome cruise wife! The SeaSocks experience however was not awesome. It wasn't well ( Read more... )

Well it's over for another year. This was our 2nd year as vendors at Stitches West. I'm now really tired, and I just got great news, the field trip I thought I was driving for has enough drivers and I only need to be a backup! Yeah! I may just come home and nap ( Read more... )

Alright, so I finally got sucked in big time. I got my Ravelry account some time ago, had put up a bit of profile and a few projects. Last night I wanted to add a pic and the photos of the completed Fisherman's Bunting that I knit for my newest grandson, Henry. I goofed around looking at friends stuff and adding a couple of items to my queue as ( Read more... )

The Sharks Ribby Pulli is finally done!!!!! I bound off the hood and buried the last few ends tonight. Tomorrow after I've washed and blocked it I'll take a few pictures for posterity.

Happy Happy Happy

I posted on Good Yarn Karma to trade some yarn and it worked. I got a person who wants my yarn and will trade some sock yarn for it! Check it out: http://goodyarnkarma.blogspot.com/

So I'm sitting working on my Ribby Pulli this morning, and watching Knitty Gritty. The episode is on simple socks. I found myself nearly shortrowing as I watch the heel on TV, and I'm knitting a sweater!

So I got a look at the new Cat Bordhi book - New Pathways for Sock Knitters - available at Purlescence Yarns (and she's coming to sign it on the 25th!) It is truly awesome!! She has the most wonderful way of looking at things and it's got lots of great technical info as well. So, there I was drooling over this book when the perfect pattern for ( Read more... )

So I sat in the shop yesterday and let Ru frog my sock all the way back. It's a toe up design and I'd just finished the heel and when I joined in the round for the cuff, I short-rowed it out again. The design is the "Inside Out Sock" from the Blue Moon Fiber Rocking Sock club. I HATE IT! I started knitting it and disliked the short row toe, then ( Read more... )
