On a whim, I slipped Pirate-Husband’s sock in progress over my foot last night. It is definitely too big for me, but it seems to be proportioned well. I really want to get it done, at least the first one, so I know if I’ve got the right size/number of stitches - but it’s been […]

This is the beginning of Pirate-Husband’s Plain Sock. It’s made with Regia 4-ply in colorway 1039, a manly brown-brown-black. I did 20 rows of ribbing (an inch and a half) and now it’s a long stockinette journey to the heel.
I shouldn’t be working on these at home; they should be my traveling sock. […]

I think self-striping sock yarns are a good standby for when you need a mindless knitting project. That way they look fantastic in just a plain stockinette. *enables*
Janis, I love you, but have you seen my stash lately? I so don’t need any more self-striping sock yarn! I do love the plain stockinette sock, […]

Ten more rows, the bind-off, the seaming, and the buttons, and the Baby Surprise Jacket will be done. I have approximately four free hours tonight in which to accomplish this. Is it possible? Hell yes it is!
…and now it’s even more possible; I just got a call from Pirate-Husband that the electrician is coming to […]

Cici commented, “I liked seeing your ostrich plumes.. I just got the pattern and am ready to cast on.. I was dissapointed that there wasn’t a chart. Did you make a chart for yours? Is it easily read without it? I think charts are lifesavers.”
The Ostrich Plumes pattern is so simple that I didn’t bother […]

Ravelry is sucking away my knitting time. As if I weren’t addicted to the internet enough already, there are two things which are making it worse. First, the Big Issues Debate Group. The people there are just awesome! There’s such a high level of intelligence and civility, even when we disagree 100% on a topic. […]

I have finished the first pattern repeat of the second Pomatomus sock, and it is starting to look like something other than a mess. How pleasant! Tonight I’m going to see if I can get past the heel of the Trekking Ribbed Sock so that I can once again bring it out in public. […]

Tonight’s SnB was held at Cosi, a small cafe, instead of the Panera we usually go to - and I think we may be switching venues. It was decently lit and much quieter, and the food… when I arrived, there was brie, bread, strawberries and grapes at each end of the table. I got a […]

Pirate-Husband and the road had a bit of an altercation Sunday night. He is (mostly) fine. At least one broken rib and possibly two more; we’ll know for sure tomorrow, after the radiologist comes to look at the x-rays. I’m not sure what the damage is to the motorcycle.
So today has been another knitting day. […]

I have a dressy dinner planned for Friday night. I have new dressy clothes that I bought for my new job. Perfect, right? Not quite. What’s not perfect? Discovering that my Pomatomus matches one of my new skirts exactly. Why is that not perfect? Because I only have ONE SOCK.
If that’s not motivation to work […]
