I knew it would happen. I was reminded of a WIP that I forgot to record. I was designing a sampler throw pillow that got shoved aside after the Philosopher’s Sweater got underway. Rob and I were in the car this weekend, and out of the blue, he asked if I was ever going to…
Good morning
Yes, it’s Monday, and yes, I’m engaging in awfully wishful thinking to call it a good morning. Whatha gonna do? It was, at least, a good weekend. I worked as much as possible on my Philosopher’s sweater, and probably got about an inch knit. Oh, the joys of a fifty-some-odd inch chest. Fortunately, the sweater…

I recently mentioned restarting my Koigu socks. Those of you who’ve seen me knit on the old sock know that it hasn’t progressed much in the last several months. I’ve been working on the heel piecemeal forever. I’ll work a bit and tear it out… work a bit… tear it out. It’s not that it’s…

Well, Rob beat me to the punch and wore his socks before I could get a good photo of them. Can’t say that I’m disappointed, though. He really seems to love them. I’ll post a photo as soon as I can get them washed and blocked. In the meantime, Monday will be our Philosopher’s Sweater…

Ok. I know it’s silly, but I like numbers, and It’s not everyday you get a fun date like that. Happy New Year, folks. But back to knitting. I’ve got to get some images up here of my finished projects. Rob’s socks look great, and I’m very proud of Christie’s hat (the hand-painted Lamb’s Pride…

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that I went down a needle-size in the Koigu socks. I had been using US2s on Koigu, and I went down to US1s. I really like the higher density of the resulting fabric. I’ve not cared for the way that other Koigu socks I’ve worn have been…

What a great weekend. I finished Rob’s toe-up Mountain Colors socks, updated some of the yarn swatches at ThreadBear, and started on a toe-up version of the green and purple Koigu socks that have been my standard Sock-It-To-Me socks (see ThreadBear Events Schedule for more information). I didn’t rip what I had of the Koigu;…
Woohoo!!
I finished something. Number Six (the hand-painted Lamb’s Pride Bulky ski cap) was finished on Christmas Eve, and I gave it to a friend that we were visiting for the holiday. She loved it, I was wonderfully gratified, and I FINISHED A PROJECT. So I’ve been working on Rob’s toe-up Mountain Colors Christmas socks since…
