In addition to Meida’s Sock, I have something bigger going on for Project Spectrum.
It’s the start of a Trapeze Jacket. I’m using Alpaca With A Twist in a lovely apricot color. I have to admit its not the most pleasant knit. Tickly alpaca, lots of slipped stitches and a pattern that requires shuffling of pages. […]

So lazy, in fact, that I paid someone else to knit me and and Pablo* socks.
Someone, and I cannot remember who, had a link to Fernwood Woolworks on their blog. (If its was you, dear reader, Thanks!) At first, the thought of paying someone to knit my precious yarn seemed ridiculous. Then I took a […]

There was a shop update today!
And in knitterly news… I chose my pattern:
Pattern: Meida’s Socks by Nancy Bush from Favorite Socks
Yarn :: Mama Blue Sea Merino in ‘Lover’
Needles :: Knit Picks 2.5mm
This pattern calls for a 72 stitch cast-on. I typically cast on around 60 stitches, so I skipped one purl per repeat for […]

I attended a baby shower a couple of weekends ago. I received my invitation in plenty of time, but the date crept up on me. You know what that leads to…
… giving a half-finished gift. This was the first time I’d ever gifted an incomplete knit, and it’s not a good feeling. If this situation […]

One look at this fabulous scarf and I knew I had found my next mindless project. Behold, the beginnings of the Smoky Scarf:
The yarn is my Mama Blue Knitting Goods BFL Semi-Solid Sock yarn in Smoke and Waterspout. It’s a little more subdued than its inspiration, but I think my husband is more […]
