Sweater Weather!
Cooler weather is here, and that means our sweaters are back! They go into a drawer (or two) when it gets warm in the summer and I halfway forget they are there. Then fall comes around again, and it’s exciting to see them again.

Harry Mon Amour
Well, Harry’s procedure is complete! The result is not seamless, but it did have the desired effect. He is taller by a little more than an inch, and while I was working on him, I stuffed him a little more firmly too. I had a little trouble with picking up the stitches, so there’s definitely… Continue reading Harry Mon Amour
Sock It To Me Monday*
Soft Pretzel socks are done! The pattern on the top of the foot and the front of the leg is just the soft pretzel cable motif. The back of the leg has two columns of soft pretzel cables and some other conventional cabling. The two stitch cables from the fancy gussets continue up the back… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday*
Sock Progress
Making good progress on my Soft Pretzel socks! I am halfway done with the leg part, so 3 more inches of pattern knitting, then 12 rows of ribbing, and done! Shortly after I finish these, I am going to do a pair for my SIL (brother’s wife) as well. Mom ordered a kit for her… Continue reading Sock Progress
Just Another Day
And just another song title! But it pretty much was. I’m moving along OK on the socks, but there’s nothing startling happening there. Tomorrow DH and I took the day off, and he and Mom and I are heading out to the AK State Fair! So I should have something a bit more interesting to… Continue reading Just Another Day

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
Decision, Decisions
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
Back to the Socks
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! I tried them on again this evening, and they are fitting really beautifully! Here is a kind of blurry shot of… Continue reading Back to the Socks
And Round
Moebius* cowl done! This picture is as it fell of the needles – you can still see my patented lack of weaving in the ends just there at the top. It’s blocking right now, and then the ends will get woven in. Maybe. As a side note, I just realized I spelled it wrong for… Continue reading And Round
