Warm Hands
Sunday, 30 October 2005 1:38 P GMT-05
Last night I finished up H's Urban Necessity gloves mittens. She is thrilled with them. I enjoyed knitting them more than I expected to. I thought the fingers would be fussy and annoying but the pattern is so well written they *almost* knit themselve

Yet Another Knit Along
Friday, 28 October 2005 3:18 P GMT-05
It's obvious I am a joiner. I have joined the Fuzzy Feet KAL. In the past I have admired the Fuzzy Feet others have knit and I have wanted to give them a go. So now I am. If you are interested in Fuzzy Feet click on the button on the left and join th

First, thank you so much for the nice comments on N's sweater. Top down sweaters are fun!I have issues. Obviously I suck. Here's the problem in one word. Gauge. Why oh why can I not get gauge with any pattern. I lived through the Mariah debacle. I al

Yet another not so great day here but I am showing the sweater photos anyway. Here I present N in his new sweater. It's the Ann Norling kids top down pattern and about 3 skeins of Lion Brand Cottonease. I used size 5 and 6 needles. This pattern was v

Today we are having rain and wind. It's very dark out so no photos of N's completed sweater. Hopefully tomorrow.Yesterday I took H to the doctor for her quarterly asthma check. As usual all was fine with her but we were both disappointed to see that
Something New

I had a rather productive knitting weekend. Friday night I finished the button bands on N's sweater. They came out OK. I then sewed the sleeves and tried it on N Saturday morning. It just fits. Have I really been working on it so long that he went up

I finished the Mosiac socks. They are the 9th sock in the Six Sox KAL and my first Socktoberfest socks. Isn't it fun to do something that qualifies for two KALs! It makes me feel like I'm getting a lot done. While this photo is horrid colorwise it do
It's Not My Fault

I blame Sandy. She is mitten obsessed. This obsession started the Warm Hands KAL. See the new button. I joined. She makes knitting mittens sound as good as,well, knitting socks. So all the mitten talk and thoughts got me diving through the stash to
Now For Something Completely Different

Sandy has started a mitten KAL and I have decided to give it a go. I've knit a few pair before but have been looking for a reason to knit a few more. Thanks Sandy! I can't wait to get started. Does anyone know of a mitten pattern for fingering weight
My I am not at Rhinebeck post

We are having lots of rain. This is the view out my back door. Notice the puddle on the sidewalk. You can see the rain hitting the puddle. It's very damp and chilly too. I'm glad to be home, knitting. I hope the Rhinebeck attendees are having better
Shopping!

Yesterday Bliss was saying that she's obsessed with sock knitting and sock yarn. I must agree. When I see all the socks that everyone is knitting I get the itch to buy what they are using. When I try to surpress the itch, well, I confess, it becomes
Knit or Read

I have been reading and not knitting. One day I must learn to do both at once. The modified strong heel went along very well. I was a little disappointed by the first complete round so I took it out and did it two more times and finally I was happy e

Remember I told you I was picked in the raffle over at Give A Little. Well, my prize, lovely handmade stitch markers, arrived. They were made by Folkcat and I love them!! Last night I worked the heel on the Mosiac sock. The modified strong heel was

Thank you for your comments on the first attempt of the Mosiac sock. It probably would have been fine but I ripped it anyway. I just wasn't happy. You know how it is. I wanted a lot of purple and a little cream as an accent so I decided to use the al
Socktoberfest
Monday, 10 October 2005 8:17 P GMT-05
Do it. Come on, all the cool kids are. What you ask? Why Socktoberfest of course. I have joined and I hope it helps me get though a pair of socks or two. How about you?
What Would You Do?

This is the start of my Mosiac sock. The colors look really nice together. The cream is more cream than white in person. The pattern is a lot of fun to knit and works up quite quickly even with this extra thin fingering weight yarn. Can you see how t
As I was Saying

These are the socks I knit while the computer was kaput. They are a simple 2X2 ribbing with a Priscilla Gibson-Roberts short row heel. I knit them on size 2 needles. The yarn is Regia Cotton surf color that I got from Kate, my SP2. Thanks again Kate!

Okey-dokey. Knitting content for your enjoyment. Finally. This is the yarn I got for the next sock (I think it's number 3 in the second year of the KAL, so number 9 in all) in the Six Sox KAL. The pattern is Mosiac Socks (photo on the Six Sox KAL ho

OK. So we're getting there. Geek Squad left an hour ago. We are getting to know XP. We have a new and previously unknown to me antivirus software called PC-cillin. Our geek said that Norton is too fussy. Hopefully the new stuff will catch whatever

My geek didn't arrive on Friday as planned. He was tied up. We have been rescheduled to tomorrow at 8:30 AM. That should be better. Hopefully things will be back to normal tomorrow.Yesterday we took a long ride to the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival.
