I recently saw a picture of someone’s complete Mon Petit Chou by Kate Gilbert, and reminded myself that I had some spending cash left for this month. I went to the WEBs online store, looked for the yarn I needed, and ended up buying 55$ more in yarn than I intended! It was 20% off! [...]

Comment: Ooo, very pretty. What kind of a heel is that - regular short row? Yes, knitting socks for other people is always tricky. I figure you have to trust the measurements!

Comment: Thank you! Yes, I figured that garter stitch would trap more air and be more warm.

Comment: You’re so on top of things with your Christmas knitting already underway! I’ve just barely started to think about mine. I have a feeling it’ll be plenty of dishcloths … always useful and machine washable.

Comment: It’s beautiful - looks perfect for overly air conditioned places! Is the main body in garter stitch?

Cotton and Socks
Sunday, June 17th, 2007It’s all about socks today! I don’t have the major problems with cotton that lots of knitters seem to have. Many complain of its unstretchiness, it can be rough, it’s not comfortable to knit with. I won’t say it’s my favorite fiber, but I can handle knitting with it. I recently bought some cotton/wool/nylon sock yarn [...]
Stitch Markers
Friday, June 15th, 2007I don’t have stitch markers, I have aluminum maille rings. Corey bought some steel maille rings a while back to start some chain armor for SCA (he’s slowly not plodding along). When he did I asked him to buy some aluminum rings for making things (mostly maille jewelry). When I started knitting I adopted some [...]
A Night to Ply
Wednesday, June 13th, 2007A whole night to myself, and I’ve had my share of the internet. I open the latest podcast, which isn’t so new and I still haven’t listened to it. My newest batch of yarn is fully spun, skeined, washed, and ready to be plied. It’s so good to spend a night plying, listening to podcasts, [...]
Can’t Do It? I Don’t Believe It.
Friday, June 8th, 2007I’ve noticed that a lot of people (not just knitters) will say that they “can’t learn to do it.” Whatever that something is, they are just unable to learn how to do it. You’ve got a brain, you’ve got fingers, you’ve got the resources to learn. Why not? I find statements like this very frustrating, [...]
I Love Socks!
Wednesday, June 6th, 2007How silly is it to forget how much you love to knit socks? I bought some Socks That Rock for a Christmas gift for my sister, and I’ve been putting off knitting the socks. I sorta know her size, but she might also be a slightly bigger half size than what I think she is. [...]
No DPNs? Easy Peasy!
Sunday, June 3rd, 2007I started this project yesterday, and finished it tonight. It was so incredibly easy, if I had another skein of this yarn I’d cast-on right away for another one. It’s like sock knitting. You just knit, and knit, and knit, a few places where you have to think about what you’re doing, then knit, knit, [...]
