More Sock to Love
Not a lot to report today – just got a few more inches done on my SIL’s socks. I’m actually at the start of the gussets, it’s moving along! It is nice to get going on them again 🙂

Sock It To Me Monday
Not a lot accomplished on my SIL’s Soft Pretzel socks this week, I’m afraid. Between getting the brioche scarf done and starting Dolores’ pumpkin outfit and other random chores, I haven’t had a lot of patience for them. But starting tomorrow night, I’m getting at them! This evening I wound up doing a little stash… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
Dolores:Autumn Reverie
Dolores has been showing her sensitive side lately, sighing over the autumn leaves and contemplating other weighty matters. Like when her next outfit will be ready already! I got it started this weekend, and have been alternating working on it with working on my SIL’s Soft Pretzel socks. Hopefully it will be done in a… Continue reading Dolores:Autumn Reverie
Brioche Increases and Decreases – Check!
My Falling Leaves scarf is done! This was a great skill builder for me, as I not only learned to do brioche increases and decreases, but also the two color Italian cast on AND the tubular cast off. Here it is before I blocked it. Very squishy and cushy. You can see the edging is… Continue reading Brioche Increases and Decreases – Check!
So Close!
Just one more pass on the last row here, then the bind off, and this scarf is DONE! It has been an enjoyable knit, if a little repetitive. But it’s taught me a few more brioche moves that I think will let me make most of the things I eventually want to make. I have… Continue reading So Close!
A Few Brioches More
Not much to report on the knitting front. We had a lot of little errands to run and things to do today, so did not get as much knitting done as I wanted to. Hopefully tomorrow will be a quiet, knit-filled day! What I did get done is a few more repeats on the Falling… Continue reading A Few Brioches More
Perfect Blend: An Odyssey
The last time I mentioned my Perfect Blend shawl here was late July, but it hasn’t been hibernating. I took it to work and have been doing a bit here and a bit there as I have a minute over lunch. Although it hasn’t been long stretches of time all together, since I started I’ve… Continue reading Perfect Blend: An Odyssey
Sock It To Me Monday
These are the Soft Pretzel socks from Knitters Brewing Company, and the yarn is their Sock-aholic Old No. 8 in Hoppiness. Not a lot to report with these guys – I’m about halfway up the foot at this point – close to where the gusset starts. Having just done this pattern, it is going pretty… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
Brioche Again
Not much to report today. Got some cleaning done, but not a lot. Watched some old Good Eats episodes and then a movie this evening. I did make some good progress on the brioche scarf! One nice thing about this project is that being a scarf it’s long enough to show you the light and… Continue reading Brioche Again
