It’s almost holiday baking time, and holiday knitting has should be proceeding apace. If you’re running low on time, why not combine the two?
Go over to Woolgirl and get your Gingerbread Man kit, complete with a skein of my Meringue Merino Sock yarn in a very special colorway! Details here!
Long time no blog, hey? Sorry. Part of the reason is that I’ve been knitting like a madwoman. I finished this:
in a week. Seven days. I cast on on a Friday, and cast-off the following Friday. Blocked it on Saturday, for a surprise bridal shower on Sunday.
My fingers were on fire. FIAH, people! I don’t [...]
Did you see Knitter’s Review yesterday? Clara Parkes wrote about Sock Summit. And the yarn she bought from me. Here’s a link to the article.
Can I just say, “SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!”
It’s so exciting! Not only is there a fabulously sweet picture of the Lollipop BFL Sock in Pamplemousse that Clara Bought, but the article perfectly captures the [...]
I’m not knitting socks. It’s the first time since I started knitting socks that I don’t have a single pair on the needles. I somehow got socked out. Maybe it was knitting two pairs of knee socks in a row in about 3 weeks.
At the end of Sock Summit, I really needed something simple and [...]
Well, Sock Summit is over. Nina and I drove back from Portland on Monday, and I still feel like I’m recovering. Tired as I still am, I think I’m also suffering from a bit of Sock Summit withdrawal. For 4 days, I was a part of this huge, amazing THING, where thousands of knitters gathered [...]
My life has been utterly and completely consumed by Sock Summit lately. I’ve been dyeing like a mad woman, every day, sometimes late into the night. It’s super fun, but man, am I tired. And I’ve got blue dye stains on my toes that just won’t wash off, no matter what I do.
Despite my insane [...]
At long last, the button is sewn on and it’s photographed.
Awww.
I forgot to knit the buttonholes into the garter yoke, and instead of fixing it at the time, I just sewed in a little ribbon-tab to hold the button.
I love how the button turned out! So cute. I bought a set of two of these [...]
Phew!
Maker Faire is over. It was a blast. A BLAST. Two incredibly long days, and I’m still tired, and my voice is hoarse. But I had so much fun, met so many wonderful knitters, fantastic crafty BazBiz folks, and sold a bunch of yarn. Yay!
Saturday, Nina was my booth bitch and was such a huge [...]
I think I’m ready. My suitcase is packed (except for my toothbrush) and I managed to fit everything inside it. As long as I wear my boots on the plane, and carry the 3 pound bag of walnuts I’m bringing as a hostess gift for the people we’re staying with. The 3 pound bag of [...]
Not a lot of knitting progress going on. I mean, I’m making progress on the Whisper Cardigan, but there’s not much to show. It just looks like a big lump of knitting.
I lost a couple of days this week to a stomach bug. Ick. Tuesday was a complete wash. Wednesday was a bit better, but [...]
