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…

I Really Don’t Need No Light
Like hell I don’t. Reference There are two reasons why I say that. 1) It is getting darker and darker as I go out for my morning run. There was not a lot of moonlight this morning to light my path for the run; and the drivers in the area seem to like to use…

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.

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…

Do the Kangaroo Hop
I couldn’t find a CD for it, so the DVD of the movie it comes from will have to do. Reference The question came up of whether Mr. Penney likes the socks I made him, and to that I can only say, “I don’t know.” Of course, only one of the socks is done, at…

It’s a Mistake
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…
