I just returned from a quick trip to the US. On the long flight there, I ran out of yarn at the start of the 13 hour flight! The skein looked so full but it was deceiving me. As a result, I was left with 2 rows to complete on my shawl. Fortunately, BeYaGi had [...]

FOs and WIPs

The week after school let out, Kent and I went to Ubud, Bali. We stayed at Ketut’s Place. Our room had a huge lovely balcony that reached out over a steep ravine and a rushing river. I spent each morning out there knitting. It was bliss.
On that balcony, I finished my purple Lacy [...]

During the Ides of May I finshed two socks. The first pair was Kent’s Kyoto socks. I knit them quickly to see if I liked the yarn. He’s only worn them once so I think they were not a success. His garter rib socks done in Chameleon Colorworks’ Bambino yarn seem to be his favorite. [...]
Snowdrop Lace in Some Summer Sky

I used my new swift for the first time last weekend. It played nicely with my wool winder, making short work of turning 3 hanks into lovely balls. Of course, today I heard someone on a podcast talking about the evils of pinching the yarn between your fingers as you wind; it [...]

Long time no write. That seems to be the norm on this blog! Sorry about that.
1. Magic Strip Socks are Finished! I truly mucked up the first toe as I did the knitted Kitchener stitch. I took me an hour and a half to fix it. Thankfully second toe only took about 20 minutes to [...]

Hooray!!
Friday night, while watching “Meet the Robinsons” which we had downloaded from the iTunes store, I finished my basic socks. They are the first wearable pair of socks that I have completed. I am thrilled.
I’m glad I started with the basic sock pattern for a number of reasons…
It is a very basic pattern, so [...]
Hats and Socks

No time to write, but I’m doing so anyway.
Didn’t finish the fourth premmie hat in time to send it. Made a mad dash to post office after work to get them in the mail. A colleague of Louise’s was here in Singapore. Since the mail between Singapore and US has been [...]
Premmie Hats and Two Socks at Once

Hello!
I’m back from Minnesota and back on GMT+8 just in time to return to work tomorrow. I’ve actually managed to do some knitting over the holiday.
First, I finished the Morehouse head warmer. It was too funny for words. I looked like a blue worm in it. It was promptly frogged and a bit of [...]
a doomed project

Okay. I knitted Tammy’s scarf no less than 3 times. I washed it. I blocked it. The cats helped to block it. I realized that Tammy, allergic to cats, wouldn’t appreciate that. So I washed it. In the machine. It is now felt. Poor doomed scarf. I almost always use washable wool. Guess this wasn’t [...]
Sock Finished and Unfinished

I was productive over the Thanksgiving holiday.
First, I finally made time to finish the class sock that has been languishing since early July, waiting for me to learn the knitted kitchener stitch. Thankfully, there are clear, easy to follow directions at TECHKnitting. The sock inspector wasn’t as impressed as I was with my completed [...]
