  • Same Script, Different Cast

    Reference And they are done! They turned out ok. I think I might not do the Double Basketweave stitch pattern again with Trekking, though I do like the pattern. I also realized after the last entry on these socks that there is a repeat to the yarn’s colorway. On these socks, it is about 2″…

  • Give It Away

    Reference First, thanks to all of those that have made donations in support of my running in the Race for the Cure. I have already had to bump up my goal because I met the first one! To kind of go with the theme of charity, here are a couple things that I have made…

  • Throw the Groove Down

    Reference I made this throw for my friend Kelly as a wedding present. She is one of them that contributed to the population explosion earlier this year. The yarn for this throw is a wool that I got at Webs. At the time, they had much more of this yarn. Also at the time, they…

  • Dress You Up

    Reference One sock down, one to go. I was happily knitting away on this sock on Sunday when I decided to take the ball of yarn to the scale to determine how much yarn I had left and when I should switch from doing the double basketweave to ribbing. Good timing, luckily, because I only…

  • Hello

    Reference Well, the socks for Mr. Penney were completed and washed this weekend. Though they don’t exactly look like matching socks, to me at least, they do feel nice. I believe Interlacements uses the same merino superwash that Cherry Tree Hill uses. Nothing confirmed on that, though. Because I finished the socks for Mr. Penney,…

  • A Different Corner

    Reference Last year, as this year, there was a bit of a population explosion. One of those having a child was a friend of mine from work. Tried as I might though, I was a bit late in getting this done. Only by a few days, mind you, but late nonetheless. The yarn is the…

  • Shake It Up

    First, let me start off by apologizing for the quality of the pictures this time around. Caffeine and cameras (especially on macro setting) don’t mix. Reference Progress is being made on the socks: The second Taiga sock is started with the color progression matching that of the first sock (after rewinding the ball.) The Pro…

  • It’s Over Now

    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…

  • Baby, I’m Yours

    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…

  • Joy and Pain

    I hope you had a good holiday weekend. Mr. Penney and I did, though I can’t say that we did anything out of the ordinary. I did get baby sweater number two completed: It is about to get shipped off to my friend Kelly, who gave birth to her daughter Regina back in January. Hopefully, it…
