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
Posted in FOs, WIP, socks, yarn on September 28, 2009 | 3 Comments »
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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Do You Like Handpainted Yarn?

Lookie what I found on Amazon…
New book by Carol Sulcoski titled Knitting Socks with Handpainted Yarns. It is only available for pre-order, but it looks brilliant. It is all patterns designed to look good with handpainted yarns. Let’s face it, most patterns get lost in handpainted yarns, and plain stockinette socks are boring. [...]

How do I love thee?
Thou art more lovely than a summer day
And more numerous..
We Minnesotans take our summers pretty seriously since they are so short. I am loving summer here. I always forget exactly how lovely summer is. Each week different plants start blooming. Birds are courting and nesting like crazy. Mornings are [...]
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 [...]
An FO, New Stash and a New WIP
Posted in FOs, WIP, socks, yarn, tagged yarn on May 3, 2008 | 2 Comments »
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 [...]
