    Reference Yesterday was Race for the Cure; and this time, I had a very different experience. It started off rather the same. I was nervous about getting there on time and actually doing the run; all of the minutia. But after the run, it was totally different; and I am not sure I can put…

    Reference There has been a lot going on around here, but not a lot to show for it. A little over a week ago, I finished writing up the pattern for Sheila’s sock club so that everyone’s favorite test knitter could start knitting it. I still have some hints and tricks that I want to…

    Reference I have to say that I was a bit surprised when I gave my co-worker the sweater for his daughter, that should be arriving any day now. He got a little choked up and was extremely appreciative. There were a number of things that played into the emotions, like the reminder that he is…

After finishing the STR heel experiment, I started on these socks. The sock yarn is Eidos from Sanguine Gryphon in the colorway Poesis. The colors don’t…

    Reference Have you missed me? I have missed you! Part of the reason I have been away so long is that Mr. Penney and I went up to Provincetown, MA for vacation. (Another part of the reason is that our Internet connection keeps on going out. It’s Comcastic!) So, how was the trip? Well, this…

    Reference Well, I certainly have been doing a lot of spinning lately. I bring to you more finished product! This is the superwash merino from Enchanted Knoll in the Mesmerized colorway.
