    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…

    No, I am not right on time. Le sigh. Reference With all of the talk of the sock, you might think that the sweater for Mr. Penney with the soft deadline has gone lying by the wayside. But it hasn’t. I had to go back to doing the sleeves independently of one another because doing…

    Reference This throw was made as a wedding present a few years back. Since I couldn’t really gather from the bridal registry how the couple was decorating, I left it up to them to choose the colors.

On Saturday morning, this is what I had waiting for me.  The yarn is more stuff that I bought off of eBay, this time from Francis Patrick. I was…

    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…

    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…
