My Fright Night socks are done! They turned out pretty well, and I’m thrilled to have them done in time for Halloween 🙂 The stitching is a little loose in the colorwork section, but I suspect that will even out once they are blocked.
In the end I went up to US 2.5 needles for the colorwork part and knitted really loosely, but it fits! Once the colorwork was done I went to a 1.5 for the ribbing, and have about another inch and a half on that. Yaaaayyy! And then I have to finish the other one, of… Continue reading Third Time Lucky
26 happy years with this guy…Dave, not the animatronic dinosaur 🙂 We had a nice dinner out last night and have a short weekend getaway planned for a few weeks from now, and he sent me our usual spooky/cute anniversary flowers I’m hoping for another 26!

My fall favorites are back!
My two active projects right now, the Betwixt shawl and the Calico shawl, are moving along reasonably well! Calico is a little blurry here, but you get the idea. It’s at the phase where every row seems to take forever, but it won’t actually be that long until I’m binding off. In the meantime, I… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
Well, that didn’t work. At least this time rather than waiting until I cast off to try my Fright Night socks on, I tried them on as I went. And yup, they are too tight again. This attempt was on needles up 1 size from what I used for the rest of the sock, and… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday: 3rd Time Lucky?
