The heels of my Soft Pretzel socks are turned! I was a little worried, as I read the directions twice and parts of it seemed a little weird. But then when I just got in there and did it, it worked out fine. Here is the nifty patterned back of the heel… And here once… Continue reading To Every Heel Turn, Turn, Turn
I’m planning on going to a knitting convention next year, and I’m stuck between going to a Vogue Knitting Live again, or trying out a Stitches convention. I know I like VK Live, but the Stitches conventions might be pretty good too. So I’m looking for opinions – have you been to a Stitches? If… Continue reading Decision, Decisions
Tonight I got back to my Soft Pretzel socks, and got some pretty good progress in. I have about 8 rows left of foot and adding to the gussets, then on to the heels!

Wow this year is flying by! I normally like to take a look at how I am doing with my crafting plans around mid-year – so this is a little late. According to the plan, 2019 was the year I planned to learn as many new techniques as I could, while still getting some actual… Continue reading 2019 So Far
Harry is done! I think my Harry may be somewhat smaller than he is supposed to be, as I tried one of his ballbands (part of the kit) on him, and it was a bit too big. However, as my Mom pointed out, I can just cut them down a bit, or photocopy them a… Continue reading Harry Completed!
Harry seems a little surprised he isn’t done yet. Which is reasonable. Soon! Hopefully tomorrow 🙂
