Well, it’s time again for the midweek WIP report! Since last week, not a lot has changed. The project I’m working on most is the Hunting Sasquatch sock MKAL. 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
Like many other knitters this week, I spent a good percent of my free time this week reading Clara Parkes’ new book, A Stash of One’s Own. Clara Parkes is a good writer – she has published several very excellent books on the technical aspects of yarn, which I cannot recommend strongly enough. However, I… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: A Stash of One’s Own

So they went for a little longer than just my trip, but still, they were with me for two days of… Continue reading Yet Another Soxual Experiment
This past week I got to visit the yarn shop that is probably the farthest from my usual yarn beat that I will probably ever get to! (Unless there is a yarn shop on Key West, and I somehow get there at some point. But I think that’s unlikely.) Specifically, I was in the Tampa/St.… Continue reading Roxy’s Yarns
