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 [...]

Long time without an update and not much to report. I finished my mother’s diagonal rib socks in the gorgeous Smooshy yarn. I finished them the day before I left Minnesota to return to Singapore. I’ll try to get a photo of them when I am home for Christmas.
I frogged my Vog On socks. I [...]
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 [...]
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
Posted in WIP, socks, yarn on February 13, 2009 | 2 Comments »
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 [...]
Help! Everything I’m Knitting is Blue!
Posted in WIP, projects, yarn on December 18, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Okay, at the moment there are a number of strong trends in my knitting.
I keep having to restart projects because they aren’t fitting.
I keep frogging projects because I decide they won’t work as started.
I’m becoming a sockhead.
Everything I’m knitting is blue.
I’m not quite sure how that last list item came to be, but I [...]
Snowdrop Lace in Some Summer Sky
Posted in FOs, WIP, socks on November 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
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 [...]
