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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Kent and I had the great good fortune to spend a week in Australia. First we went to Cairns and spent two days and one night on a dive boat. We didn’t actually dive; we snorkeled on the Great Barrier Reef. It was mind-blowingly amazing. If you ever get the chance, do [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I finished another premmie hat and guess what? It is even smaller than the previous hats. My small stack of hats is starting to look like Russian stacking dolls. It is humbling to realize how irregular my gauge is. I’m working on a fourth hat but don’t think I can finish it [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Had a lovely knitout at Vivo City yesterday. Small group: Adrianne, Cindy, Lois and a new member Ingrid who is new to Singapore. She comes to us from Estonia by way of Italy. Not only is she an accomplished knitter, but she demonstrated her Gameboy skills as well, by helping her daughter on [...]
