I started these socks ages ago — and I’m still not done with them but at least I’m making some progress. To refresh your memory, these socks are from More Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch. They are toe up, as opposed to my normal cuff down socks. The only other toe up pair I’ve [...]

A Mitten and a Question
Posted in Knitting, Miscellaneous on January 16, 2008 | 15 Comments »
I’ve finished the first of my mittens. It isn’t blocked yet and I’m hoping that when I do block it, it will get rid of the puckering. But all in all, I’m quite pleased with it. I’ve also worked a bit on the back of the Central Park Hoodie. I’m making progress, but not a [...]
Project Monogamy
Posted in Knitting, Miscellaneous on September 7, 2007 | 8 Comments »
I’ve heard people referred to as serial monogamists when speaking of relationships. You know, those who are faithful to their partners while with them but move from one partner to another relatively often. I’m a serial monogamist when it comes to knitting, I suppose. Last week I was faithful to DON. I have every intention of [...]
Taking a DON break
Posted in Dale of Norway, Knitting, Miscellaneous on September 5, 2007 | 8 Comments »
I’m taking a DON break but just until Monday’s class. I’ll be starting on the sleeves that day. I want to get more work done on my Tilted Duster in the meantime. Yes, I have finished up to the shoulders. I still have to do the duplicate stitching on the center front to finish out [...]
Dereliction of Duty
Posted in Dale of Norway, Family, Miscellaneous on August 19, 2007 | 8 Comments »
Wow, it’s been over a week since I last posted. On the one hand I had nothing to report, but on the other I had plenty. I’ve been working diligently on my Dale of Norway sweater. I’m only about an inch or two from where the colorwork at the top starts. This is my progress [...]
Okey Dokey Artichokey

(Yes, I actually say that. I also call my girls “honey bunny” *hangs head in shame for being overly cutesy*) So this past Monday was the first Dale of Norway Sweater class (here on out to be referred to as DON). It seems that the class will be more like a knitalong than a class. [...]
All sorts of news

My Dale of Norway class is starting on Monday. EEEK! I went by WEBS this afternoon to pick up a couple more skeins of yarn so I could do a hat for my gauge swatch. That’s what I’ll be doing this weekend. I’m almost done with the Lutea Lace-Shoulder Shell from the Summer 2007 Interweave [...]
Knit 1 Rip 2
Posted in Knitting, Miscellaneous on July 12, 2007 | 6 Comments »
This sock is winning the battle of wills. I really wanted to give the short row heel another chance. I have one pair of socks with a short row heel, but that’s all knit in garter stitch so it was forgiving. Every other time I’ve tried it, I’ve ripped it out in frustration. HOLES! Is [...]
Knitting for Me Weekend
Posted in Knitting, Miscellaneous on June 25, 2007 | 10 Comments »
It had been more than 2 weeks since I just sat down with my needles and yarn and knit on a project for me. So that’s what I decided to do this weekend. I didn’t get a whole lot done, but I enjoyed what I did get done. What was best was my realization that the [...]
Knitting for Babies

You guys may think that I’m crazy, but I have started this one blog post over at least 20 times. I would like to ask your help if you have the time and the inclination. But please don’t feel obligated to do so. I know I have mentioned before that my husband’s daughter is due [...]
