Although I’m no longer sick, and my head is clear enough that I’d technically be able to knit, I haven’t had any time to! This past weekend, Pirate-Husband and I finally got moved into the house. Our friends descended on our apartment and whisked all of our possessions up the mountain. I found out that [...]

This awful cold has come back for round two. It’s bad enough that I went to the doctor yesterday (I don’t have the flu) and bad enough that I called out of work today and pre-emptively, tomorrow. It’s bad enough that I haven’t even wanted to knit. I did pick up the sock and got [...]

Yesterday we had an all-hands meeting, and one of my co-workers was admiring the So-Called Scarf. “Maybe,” she said, “I could give you $20 and you could knit me something like this?”
“Uhhhhh,” I answered as nicely as I could, “I could teach you to knit…”
She laughed and said, “Oh come on, you’re just trying to [...]

After missing a number of SnB nights, I’m finally getting to go again! I’m hoping that I’ll still get to go after I move up to the house, but it will be a much longer distance to drive. I’m definitely going to try to get there once in a while! I like my fellow knitters [...]

Yesterday was incredibly productive, but unfortunately not with knitting. While Pirate-Husband was up at the house spackling, I ran four loads of laundry and packed eight boxes. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but it took a lot of time! A half-hour before bedtime, while waiting for the dryer to finish, I decided that I [...]

Friend Adina recently went on a two-week trip to Ireland with school, and brought back a present for Pirate-Husband and me - YARN. (Does she know me, or what?) I’ve been tasked to knit Pirate-Husband a sweater. He wants something traditional and cabled, of course, and is actually *happy* that the wool is so scratchy. [...]

Woohoo! Sock Number One of the Garter Rib Socks is completed! I began knitting super-fast at around 8:30 last night and was able to get the toe grafted and both ends woven in before bedtime. And - the best part - I tried the sock on and it fit perfectly! I have done the one-footed [...]

Being sick is only good for one thing - curling up in front of the computer with a half-knitted sock. I’ve made some significant progress on it today; there’s maybe an inch left before I start the toe. Then I’ll re-wind the ball of yarn so it’s neat again, and hope that there’s enough for [...]

Today I stayed home from work sick. These Canadian germs are kicking my butt! It’s cloudy out today, so these aren’t the best color representations. I’d like to build a lightbox for photos, once we’re all moved into the new house.
Anyway, I’m pretty excited about making Revolution. There’s something about knitting [...]

Our core group this weekend was made up of six knitters and two non-knitters, and by the end of the vacation that had been shifted to seven and one. A friend from Arizona was complaining that he could not find the perfect scarf, and so we tromped over to the yarn store and helped him [...]
