    Reference  There is some kind of misunderstanding on your blog. What misunderstanding? They are saying that the socks are for me and that I should be conked on the head if I don’t like them. They aren’t for me. You are making the socks for yourself! Where did they get that idea from? From the…

    No, I am not right on time. Le sigh. Reference With all of the talk of the sock, you might think that the sweater for Mr. Penney with the soft deadline has gone lying by the wayside. But it hasn’t. I had to go back to doing the sleeves independently of one another because doing…

    Reference This throw was made as a wedding present a few years back. Since I couldn’t really gather from the bridal registry how the couple was decorating, I left it up to them to choose the colors. They decided on these colors, as they were also expecting their first baby and wanted something for the…

    Reference Well, I can now say I can do the easy toe in my sleep. The sock is now on its way: I am doing 68 stitches for this sock because I tried 72 and that was too big of a sock, yet 64 was not quite big enough. For the 68, I just added…

    Reference Well, it appears what goes up must come down. On Friday night, I made another attempt at a toe-up sock, using the easy toe instructions from MSKS. On Saturday morning, this is what I had waiting for me.  The yarn is more stuff that I bought off of eBay, this time from Francis Patrick. I was…

    Reference Yeah! Another project in the Done column. I finished the socks I was making from my handspun this morning. I casted on for the second sock Friday night and was doing the kitchener stitch for the toe this morning after we got back from the gym. Working on 4 mm circular needle over 48 stitches…

    Reference Well, with the help of one of our little spies, the baby sweater was delivered to the parents. I know the spy gave it to his parents because I heard this: Father: Did you say thank you? Spy: Thank you, Pat. Despite numerous attempts on Mr. Penney’s part, we still don’t know whether they…

    Reference Well, the last of the baby sweaters is done. It is currently drying after a quick run through the washing machine, and I will show you pictures of it once it is in the hands of the mother (just in case she happens to read this blog. And if she does: “Hi!”) I was…

    Ok, Tuesday. Reference  This entry is in honor of Opal’s favorite colors. I wove these towels a few years ago to play around with color. I feel one of my weaknesses is putting colors together. On occasion, I do a project like this to try things out and try to expand my horizons. The weave…
