Last year I signed up for two different sock clubs. As the second of the two resulting books has arrived, I thought I’d review them briefly. Socks of Iceland by Helene Magnusson Socks of Iceland is a collection of sock pattern inspired by traditional Icelandic textiles. There is a range of techniques, including lace, colorwork,… Continue reading The Sock Clubs of Yesteryear
Here is the last 7 days of the Ms. Monster Christmas advent: Even though they aren’t a fade at all, all of this week’s minis have similarities with last week’s. I think when they are all opened, they will work together nicely 🙂 This week, I also started opening my DH’s gift, a half-month miniskein… Continue reading Advent Minis
I’m finally getting somewhere with my Arrowhead cardigan! The body is finished, and I’m on to the first sleeve. I did run into a snag though.

They are so bright and cheerful, I sometimes go outside for a… Continue reading Suddenly – Christmas Spirit All Over the Place
Progress on DH’s socks! Just the legs and ribbing to do, and hopefully these can be done this week. Are you making any socks? If so, how are they going?
I have been knitting and knitting and knitting on the Findhorn Wrap, and am still not even close to a quarter of the way done. I was a bit farther along than this, but still something like 24 more squares to knit on this strip – and then 3 more like it. I just completely… Continue reading One Project Frogged, Another Started
