Lucky
Reference Well, I finished the second sleeve of Mr. Penney’s sweater. (Your eyes aren’t fooling you. That is the same picture from the last post. But the second sleeve looks just like it, which is the point, anyway.) I had started the sleeves, originally planning on them to be one solid color. When I realized…

Diamonds
Reference Well, as promised, fiber content! I am making progress on Mr. Penney’s sweater. Enough progress that you might actually get an indication of the design. The yarn itself is ok to work with. I am used to merino yarns that consist of thinner plies (thus, more plies) than this yarn. I am just not…

Seems You’re Much Too Busy
Reference Posts here are going to slow down. (Actually, they have already slowed down, but they are going to slow down even more.) Here’s why: Remember these? Well, it is that time of year; and keeping up with the leaves takes quite a bit of time. As one of our neighbors put it, “[The previous…

A Boy Named Sue
Reference Back in second grade CCD class, we had a “mock” mass as practice for our First Holy Communion. The sermon was about Jesus being our shepherd and that we were all sheep. (At the time, the image of sheep made us all think of adorable cotton balls with heads; while years later, a different…

Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’
Reference You might think from this post that I have a huge case of startitis, but I have a very logical excuse explanation for all of it. No. Really. I do. First off, I have finally started Mr. Penney’s sweater. More specifically, the sleeve of his sweater. As you can see in the picture, I…

Right Here Waiting
Reference Well, here is the status on the socks: Sorry for the blurry picture. And I don’t even have caffeine to blame it on! Jitterbug first. I am kind of surprised at how this is turning out. The color is pooling something fierce. Also, I am wondering how they dye this yarn. I am…

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″…

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. 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,…
