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 [...]

Frogs, FOs and Yarn

Last night I broke the Panda Silk out of stash and started my first pair of toe up socks.
First I need to learn Judy’s Magic Cast-On. I watched the Cat Bordhi’s video on YouTube to learn how. Soon there was a big needle bird flapping across my lap and biting the vine. Then their was a [...]

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 [...]
Speedier Socks

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. [...]
Progress Report

I am in love with my Pretty Comfy socks. I’ve finished the gusset decreases . I am worried they are going to be a bit small. Given that this Fixation yarn has cotton and elastic in it, I don’t think they will be blockable. They will progress faster if I can figure out where I’ve [...]
Update on Blue Projects

Before I went to New Zealand in December I cast on a pair of socks but then ended up knitting other projects so I’m finally getting to these now.
The yarn was a birthday gift from my sister. It is a Regia wool yarn. The colorway was designed by Kaffe Fasset. I was of two [...]
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 [...]
Photos of WIPs

It was a sunny afternoon so I took a few photos of my WIPs.
First the Garter Rib socks for Kent that are patiently waiting for toes.
Then the Garter Rib socks #2 which I tinked back 1.5 inches to fix a few weird stitches that refused to be right when I tried to drop down to [...]
Early Summer Projects Update

I have been trying to maximize time with my family since I am only home for a short time. On Tuesday I head down to Dallas, Texas to see Kent and his family. Then he and I will head to San Antonio, Texas for NECC, an enormous educational technology conference. 20,000 some people [...]
Yarn Snack and New Socks

First, the promised photos of my new Chameleon Colorworks yarn.
That first skein is still snuggled in my stash, but the latter, in the shade mushroom, is in the process of becoming socks for Kent. These are the Garter-Rib Socks from Sensational Knitted Socks.
I like how the yarn is knitting up. When I received [...]
