I finished my Heart of Sharkness socks today! The pattern is from AC Knitwear‘s Boost Your Knitting pattern/technique club. As I mentioned earlier, the pattern is called Heartgyle Socks, and is a cute takeoff on argyle patterning. But for some reason I decided my heart should have sharks on it, and instead of crossed lines,… Continue reading Heart of Sharkness – Done!
My Nessie sock #2 is coming along very well… The leg is done and the heel is turned, now on to the foot! And I have to get a move on with it, as next week the Lattes & Llamas girls are starting a new cryptid knit MKAL – Call of the Siren – which… Continue reading Progress Report

First WIP is the first pair of socks from the Lattes &… Continue reading I Pack Like Ginger
Around this time last week, I was getting ready for a work trip to Fairbanks, and hoping to finish off my two standing WIPS. And much to my surprise, that is exactly what happened! When I headed out last Monday, I had my long-standing Colorblock shell/top/sweater/whatever. I have been working on this ding-blasted thing since… Continue reading I Love It When a Plan Comes Together!
Since last week, I have made scant progress on my eternal Colorblock sweater, but am making good progress on my annual Halloween socks! Specifically, this year’s socks are Fangtastic by Wendy Gaal, and the yarn is a kit from Knitter’s Brewing Company. My Mom gave it to me as a Christmas present last year, and I… Continue reading Batty For Halloween
