Since last I wrote here, I’ve been hitting the Geek-Along squares hard. For anyone who doesn’t know, the Geek-Along is a knit or crochet along that lasts most of the year. Each week the girls from Lattes & Llamas, a yarn and design company, release a new square for Geek-Alongers to complete. They do 48… Continue reading A Few Geekeries More
Around this time last week, I was getting ready for a work trip to Fairbanks, and hoping to finish off my two standing WIPS. And much to my surprise, that is exactly what happened! When I headed out last Monday, I had my long-standing Colorblock shell/top/sweater/whatever. I have been working on this ding-blasted thing since… Continue reading I Love It When a Plan Comes Together!
Since last week, I have made scant progress on my eternal Colorblock sweater, but am making good progress on my annual Halloween socks!

Right after taking this picture, I decided to get out the back to count the rows of ribbing I had done. As I’m counting, I’m noticing that… Continue reading Progress With a Little Backtracking

The third and final clue was just sent out today – I’m about halfway through the first clue. Here’s what it looks like so far… … Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
My needles are here – time to get hunting!
Well, it’s been a kind of a boring week, knitting-wise. As far as everything else, it was a crazy one, so maybe it all balances out! What I mainly did this week was wait. The first thing I’m waiting for is to start the Hunting Sasquatch sock MKAL! By the time the first clue was… Continue reading A Week of Waiting
