I’ve been knitting like crazy on Susan’s new sock pattern. I’m all caught up and ready to Kitchener. I’m very, very tempted to just go ahead and finish them, because I think this is the first pair of socks I’ve made that aren’t too big. But I’ll wait impatiently for Susan’s “fool-proof” method.
Aren’t they cute? […]

After seeing this on Stitch-n-Snitch, I knew who I’d be even without bothering to take the test. No surprise here:

You scored as Hermione Granger. You’re extremely hard-working and will not feel satisfied with yourself unless you’ve given everything your all. You’re very intelligent and make good use of your witty remarks and astounding ability […]

I finally, finally finished the second garter-rib sock. DH is very pleased (he’s wearing them today), and was really impressed at how well the stripes matched.
Pattern: Garter Rib Socks from “Sensational Knitted Socks”
Yarn: Plymouth Sockotta (45% cotton, 40% superwash wool, 15% nylon)

For lack of any real knitting progress photos, I’ll instead show you the new Elizabeth Austen knitting bag I picked up at “Tuesday Morning” for half price. I’m very happy with it - it’s a nice size, and has lots of pockets inside for needles and accessories.
I’ve had a really hectic couple of weeks. […]

I’ve just been drooling over the preview for the Spring 2007 Interweave Knits. I will certainly be purchasing this one. Maybe I’ll even finally sign up for a subscription. Seeing the nightie in the staff projects section reminds me that someone got to my blog recently by searching for “knitted lingerie”. Gee, I’m sorry I […]

I haven’t blogged much this week because A) My internet service was down for a couple of days and B) Although I’ve been knitting away, I’m still working on the same projects so there isn’t really anything new to show. I’ve also been incredibly busy with some personal stuff this week.
I did get out to […]
