Easy Come, Easy Go
Reference With finishing up the one pair of socks, it was time to cast on another project. Since a friend of mine gave birth to a son earlier in the year, and I hadn’t completed anything for said child yet; I decided that I needed to knit up something for the boy. (I did have…

Dark Lady
Reference Finally, something to show you! My Poesis socks are done! And although I really love the resulting sock, I doubt if I will ever work with a yarn this dark again. It was very difficult for me to see the stitches that I was working in anything but ideal light; and most of my…

Experiment IV
Reference This has been a pretty productive two weeks for me, even though I only have one thing to show you. I got a good bit of spinning done on the alpaca/merino/tussah silk blend, but there is really no need for a picture as it just looks like there is a little more on the…

Mesmerized
Reference Well, another two weeks and time for another update. Besides the club sock, I still have the heel experiment going on. This time, rather than lining all of the increases up along the center, I am making the increases diverge from the center, forming a “V” at the bottom of the foot. I am…
