Socks Ahoy!

There isn’t much that’s more happy-inducing than getting a KnitPicks box in the mail.

Delicious Felici goodness.

Two skeins each of two Felici self-striping yarns, Time Traveler and Abracadabra. Felici is DELICIOUSLY soft and smells like fresh wool. The most exciting one, of course, is the Time Traveler colourway:

Wibbly Wobbly.

The Pirate and I have decided [...]

KnitCroBloWeek Posts 6 & 7: Past F/Os and All Tooled Up

I need to do two questions today! Yesterday got madly busy, and today was, too, but tonight is nice and calm and relaxing, and I can finish up the week with a double post. Enjoy!

Saturday:

Revisit a past F/O

Bring the fortune and life of a past finished project up to the present. Document the current [...]

I have the blues

I’ve been hit with a bug. A bad cold bug.

I’m pretty positive it happened when everyone visited for Winterlude. My body has a tendency to incubate viruses for a long period of time, generally three weeks or so. Given that, this one’s right on the money. It also is no coincidence that the Pirate has [...]

Mind concoctions

Jack’s blanket is sure to have arrived. I’ll need to call the sibling and find out.

In the meantime, knitting has been a bit slow, but on the uprise. Between beating illnesses and getting some profitable freelance work done, the time for knitting has been narrowed to movie-watching. Luckily, that was the Christmas gift of the [...]

Rotations and fat birds

Completed things just brighten my whole day!

First, I finished the first RPM sock…

…and have cast on for the second. No slouch, no sir.

I also knit a friend, for a friend.

He is knit from BitterSweet’s Crazy Kiwis free pattern, and is for my friend Corrie for her birthday, as she adores kiwis.

I also snagged myself [...]

Tribulations of socks

Not planning on making a long-winded introductory post. The more you read, the more you learn!

So, hello!

Lately I’ve had a touch of bad luck on the knitting front. Perhaps it’s my bad habit of never deciding to swatch. Perhaps it’s the fact that my poor size ten feet combined with my love of knitting socks [...]
