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 started this sock three times! You may remember that I started the Pyroclastic socks about a few weeks ago. In the first version, on the far left, I cast on 66 stitches on a size ZERO needle. This *is* Malabrigo after all and because it’s so soft and stretchy, it needs a very tight [...]

an unoriginal hat, originally uploaded by alicethelma. People who follow this blog regularly are familiar with my fondness for the color gray. Or is it grey? I suppose it depends on what country you live in. I do indeed like gray but even more so when punctuated by a brightly colored (coloured?) accessory. And yellow [...]

alice in golden leaves, originally uploaded by alicethelma. For quite some time I had the idea in my head that the pose in this famous Edward Weston photograph would make a great pose for ing socks. What poor Alice discovered is that one needs quite a bit of flexibility to execute the pose. I’m thinking [...]
