• Just Peachy…

  
  — Authority:
  (And some new stash, which doesn’t count, cause its sock yarn!—or at least pretends to be.) Four full repeats –of what eventually will be at least 8—are now complete. More will be done tonight, and tomorrow at LIC knits. It looks a bit weird, (you are looking at 2 shoulders, and 2 sleeves (knit on 2 ...

  Grr I hate it when people take me for a fool. I ordered 5 x 100gm undyed socks yarn. It arrived after a week so I was already not happy. I weighed each hank the second I got it. One of them was only 88g. I wrote and told the seller this was not acceptable to me. I was told that moisture loss would account for the ...

  Todays Ray of Sunshine is my friend Jolanda , who Twittered yesterday that she was clearing up her stash and asked me if I was interested in some scraps for my sock yarn blanket. And of course I am. Little did I expect that she would hand me this. I was suitably flabbergasted, just about managed to get my hubby to ...

• COMING UP FOR AIR

  I was very anxious again his morning. I went for my swim at 11am. I have found if I put sleep first, I can swim better and longer. I was putting swimming first before and that didnt work out. When I got back from the pool, having decided Id really rather die than live in a one bed flat in London, and ...

• Heading Home

  
  — Authority:
  Here are the subways socks (in Queens!) because with the foot over 6.5 inches long—it won’t be long before I am starting the toe. And then it’s a hop skip and jump to being done! I expect the finished sock to be about 9 inches long. And none too soon either, since I am heading off this holiday week end to ...

• A Slick Trick

  T his is not a knitting trick, but a trick for the Droid phone, which is my new favorite toy. I was all set to purchase the multimedia docking station for the Droid — the one that charges it while displaying weather, time, photos, etc. I figured I’d replace my alarm clock with this nifty little solution that ...

• MY FIRST HAND JOB

  
  — Authority:
  I dyed my first sock yarn. This 80% Merino and 20% Bamboo. I dissolved 4 different Kool Aids in little pots with hot water. I had already laid the hank of yarn out on the cling film. I took a 10ml syringe and I squirted till I was done. I then wrapped it up and nuked it for 4mins. I turned it over and nuked it again ...

• On a lighter note…

  
  — Authority:
  First, I want to clear up something because I know not everyone reads the comments. MayoPie was not implying that the betrayed spouse gets any blame. He’s admitted his wording could have been clearer. On my part, I was using his comment as a jumping off point to address what is, IMO, pretty common thinking – that ...

• Knitting and Pumpkin Pie: What do they have in common?

  
  — Authority:
  My sister doesnt like pumpkin pie, (I do not understand; does not compute) but her favorite color is orange. I was thinking about this yesterday as I was raking up orange and yellow and brown leaves, thinking about how pretty the fall colors are, even as Im hating raking. There are so many beautiful colors of orange ...

  3 repeats (well 2 repeats and almost (2 rounds short)3!) Sleeves are progressing—at a snails pace it seems, at times, but progressing all same. Its such a pain right now to knit them--all of the sweater to turn every round--I sometimes think it is so much better an idea to do the ...

  Y eah, we gotcha paw floof right here! Sidra Vitale asked in the comments: Because her paws are so furry, does Lucy ever ‘hydroplane’ on linoleum surfaces? I live in a high-rise condo, and the only parts that are not carpeted are the kitchen, the bathrooms, and the entry foyer. And each of these areas ...

  Even though I have other projects vying for my attention right now, the neon Jaywalkers are flying off the needles. Something about this pattern just “clicks” with me– I find it easy yet compelling to knit, and the socks practically grow themselves. I finished the first one in near-record time, and am working my ...

• Perfect Knitted Gloves: Tips for Success

  
  — Authority:
  I’ve never knitted a pair of gloves, if you can believe that. Mittens, fingerless gloves, and wrist warmers are all in my repertoire, but no gloves! The thought of knitting all of those fingers has always steered me away from glove projects. I usually get about four pairs of those tiny knit gloves that stretch to ...

• Projects for Leftover Sock Yarn

  T his past weekend I taught my leftover sock yarn class for the first time. A big part of the class is all about mitered shapes — how to knit ‘em, and how to attach them to each other to actually make things. I have a mitered square piece that I started before class, and I added to during class. Here is what it ...
