I am just past the gusset decreases on the Garter Rib Sock. Here it is, showing its stripy wonderfulness. This colorway should be called Mardi Gras instead of Pirate’s Booty - the greens and purples and golds are so vibrant.
And at last, the Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn is here. It took more than two […]

Last night I finished the gusset decreases on the Garter Rib Sock. I took a gauge measurement and re-measured my foot, and I think it will fit okay. If it’s a little loose, well, then it’s just like all my other socks. Better a little loose than a lot tight! I will try to remember […]

It’s amazing how easy a pattern is when you follow the right numbers, isn’t it? Last night I got the heel turned and all the gusset stitches picked up. Once the gusset is (mostly) done I can take another gauge count and decide if I want to decrease a little further than the pattern calls […]

The secret gift project is done, finished up this morning. I have a picture of it ready to post, but that’s going to have to wait until it’s been given… or it won’t be a surprise! Not too shabby, I think, finishing a project in the first two weeks of the year. I doubt I […]

I haven’t been posting in the past week because I really haven’t been knitting in the past week, and the reason I haven’t been knitting is because I’ve been busy *buying a house*.
For those of you who haven’t been keeping up on the story, there have been three houses in this hunt. The first one […]
