Hats!

It may seem like I've been finishing a lot of stuff lately. Not so much though when you consider that yesterday's scarf posting was knit back in May. Finished these yesterday. Pattern: My basic toe-up sock pattern with an afterthought heel. Yarn: Read More...

You may know him better as my knit model. He's such a good sport. He's modeled knits made for people larger than I, or things made for me when I'm having a bad hair day and don't want to pose. He's my gaming partner, cycling buddy, Read More...

Don't know why, but I've been knitting nuthin' but socks for a couple two-three weeks now. Basic toe-up socks. Made with the Gurdy Run alpaca/wool 3 ply that I fell in love with at Vermont S&W two weekends ago. I'm using the misocrafty Read More...

The Cinderella socks are finished. I *think* they'll fit the person I had in mind but I won't know for about a month when I see her next. The yarn is leftover from a pair of socks that I made for me. I'm not thrilled with the short rows, the Read More...

Cinderella sock

You may recall the Rainbow socks that I completed about a month ago. I had a good-sized pile of yarn leftover, possibly even enough for another pair for me. Weighing the remains determined that I only had ~80% as much yarn as I used for the first pair. Read More...

So after reading Emily , Norma , and Naomi 's posts with pix from VT Sheep & Wool fest, I felt like a slacker for not having posted any pix yesterday. Unfortunately, as I mentioned already, I forgot the camera, so you'll have to go see Emily Read More...

Vermont Sheep & Wool Festival was this weekend. Yesterday me and the boy went to pet sheepies and bunnies, fondle and procure fiber-y goodness and create general mayhem with friends. I forgot to bring the camera for the 4th consecutive festival, but Read More...
