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 [...]

Wibbly Wobbly

First off: I finally found my notes for Jack’s Beanstalk Blanket! This means the pattern cannot be far away.

My sister the Pirate and I are up to our usual shenanigans. She has recently gotten into Doctor Who, which makes me love her all the more. KnitPicks recently unveiled the new colours in their Felici sock [...]

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 [...]

Ferret Sweater Pattern

I come bearing patterns. A pattern for a cute little ferret sweater. :D

Palom, my adorable, huge boy in the photos, was kind enough to model the sweater for me. In fact, he’s still wearing the Noro one. And napping. He loves his sweater.

I made two, a blue stripey one and one from leftover Noro sock. [...]

Rogue in the dark

No posts in forever. Been busy working, and knitting.

With that last one being prominent, you’d think I have photos to show. Well… not yet.

With not much time to run errands, I’ve not been able to get camera batteries. On top of that, the weather here has been disgusting. Rain and clouds. Not photo weather at [...]

Redundancy

For someone like me, knitting is currently a slump.

A ditch, if you will.

Mind-numbingly boring.

I’m consistently working on chain chomp hats, which are knit with acrylic yarn and are dumb-easy to work. Even so, I managed to screw up one by making it too short. Hurrr.

I always have them on the go, as there are some [...]

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 [...]

Legalities and work

Working on things that make me monetary gain has taken up a lot of my time. Mostly reviewing design work, and designing a few things for friends. I received news today that a local printing place has offered me an interview. This is really exciting, since I’d like to do pre-flight work full time. It’s [...]

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 [...]

Of Socks, Fleece, and Highwaymen

Goodness! Why do I not update here more often. I wind up with a million things to write about.

Firstly, how about a new sock.

This is a Jaywalker (natch) knit in Regia Canyon Color, in the Beach colorway. The RPM aren’t done yet. I enjoy switching up my socks a little so the monotony isn’t there [...]
