I finished another koolhaas this evening but there is not natural light and therefore no photos. You’ll just have to wait until tomorrow. In the interim I give you my latest sock knit from some lovely, stretchy Paton sock yarn I found at Michaels. Sleep well friends and see you tomorrow.  

I’m up in Portland, Oregon visiting old friends and haunts and I had the chance to drop in on the Sock Summit yesterday. What a thrill! I bumped into one knitting celebrity, Anne Hanson of Knitspot, at the Verb for Keeping Warm booth but I was too shy to get her photo. She was most [...]

This is a great sock pattern but again, requiring more concentration than I’m willing to expend at this time in my life. I feel so lazy! And those charts – you really have to pay attention to the charts. Ah well, it’s summer right? Records show that I started the Nemesis on January 4, 2011 [...]

I’ve started to take stock of my many unfinished knitting projects…well…just for the hell of it I guess. Now that it’s summer, I don’t have an excuse for *not* knitting, unless I blame the weather. These here are Pyroclastic, a free pattern on Knitty and a challenging sock which I used to enjoy. Sigh. Perhaps [...]

As proof that I still knit socks now and then, I offer these little minis, being modeled here by the big hands of sister Liz. Her friend, Madeline, had a baby girl named Emily about a week ago and these socks are for her. Congrats to mother and baby!

…I am once again knitting socks.

I found this pattern on Knitty and it has certainly re-ignited my passion for sock making. The yarn is Blue Moon Fiber Arts STR in the sock summit color. Thanks to Liz for sending. We still on for SS11? As for nemeses, well I have several. But let’s not go there now.

I did manage to finish one Pyroclastic sock but I don’t even remember when (it may have been up in Ashland recently). Such is the crazy whirlwind that my life has become. And I fear that I’ll suffer from single sock syndrome if I don’t start the second soon. There is also another heatwave looming [...]

I don’t really but who cares. I was in Sausalito last week and I checked out a new LYS on my way to the beach. At the Raverly meet up a few months ago, I had won a gift card to Bluebird Yarn & Fiber Crafts and I’m sorry I don’t have any photos to [...]

Nuff said.
