I have really enjoyed being in Blue Moon’s Rockin Sock Club this year.  The colorways have been beautiful.  However, September’s shipment took my breath away.  Everything I love about fall and nature wrapped up into one gorgeous colorway and a pattern from Cat Bordhi. You’ve been sufficiently warned, so here it is: The colorway is [...]

I made some seriously cute socks.  Using Opal Harry Potter series.  I had the beloved Tonks colorway.   I knit one sock from each end.  Completely different, because, well, they were Tonks.  I wore them on Thursday.  They hadn’t even been washed yet.  I hadn’t gotten a photo.  I put them in the closet at the [...]

I didn’t intend to take the summer off from posting, but it appears that’s exactly what I did.  Bugga, Jammer and I were all over the place this summer.  A trip to the Outer Banks, Ohio, Atlanta, Kiawah Island and another week for just the girls in Ohio.  This week, the girls went back to [...]

I know it is hard to believe, but I have never knit with Noro before.  I fell in love with this little vest and have been patiently waiting for Knit Picky to get Noro Taiyo. I love the colors of Noro.  How one color gently leads into the next.  But around the corner, lies a [...]

I started this project long ago.  I have been procrastinating on finishing it for a month.  See that cute sash that ties on the bottom?  Any guesses as to how it is attached?  132 stitches on each of the 2 needles, then you kitchener them together.  Let me remind you, it is mohair kids.  It wasn’t [...]

I’m back.  I wasn’t really planning not to blog.  I wasn’t really planning on not getting much knitting done either.  Between a trip to Maryland Sheep and Wool, Bugga’s birthday, Bugga and Jammer’s dance recital, and my sister-in-law’s wedding, I have been a busy little girl.  That, and I think I lost my knitting mojo [...]

I’ve been working on Anjou, but then I needed to wind another skein and kept forgetting.  I finally wound it yesterday, but here is where I am:  (Yes, I use my daughters’ indoor minigolf set for blocking.) I need to finish up the ‘sash’ piece that goes on the bottom.  I will admit that I [...]

Well,  a couple weeks ago, I mentioned we got a new puppy.  Her name is Velvet.  She is now 3 months old, so I thought I’d let everyone know how she is doing.  As you can see, she is growing.  Velvet is now 19 lbs of pure energy.  When she isn’t chasing a ball, however, she is [...]

My March shipment arrived!!  (You had to realize why I sped through sock #2 from the Jan. shipment).  I’m really excited.  The yarn is mediumweight this time, and to be quiet honest, I don’t see much of a difference.  I’m knitting on 2.5mm needles instead of 2.25mm, but not a major difference.  I love the [...]

I finished my first Rockin Sock Club kit: The pattern is just lovely.  I could definately make another pair.  The colorway is fantastic – the picture doesn’t do it justice.  The subtle differences are just spectacular knit up. They would have been done a lot faster had I not made some silly mistakes on the [...]
