Why don’t I distract you instead with some pretty new limited edition yarn!

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!
I have a new yarn to share with you.

This stuff is, in a word, delicious. It’s my new favorite [...]
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 [...]

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.

Here’s a small shop update to help get you through Monday.
