Shame Well, Socktober came and went, and I barely did a thing about it. Not too cool for a knit-blogger… I wanted to finish my Cupcake socks not only for Socktober, but also to be eligible for a prize in the Ravelry Sock Knitter’s Anonymous group. But alas. Not finished. …
writing my thesis is taking away most of the words that I have to use in a day, so you will have to suffer throught a bulleted (and photographed) list of projects that I am working on right now. Toe-up self striping socks I added a little twisted stitch accent …
As you might have suspected, I travelled to Vegas for Debbie’s wedding by an Elvis. The ceremony was fantastic and certainly the highlight of my stay. When we arrived at the Frontier, we discovered that it is closing in two weeks. This made for a general sense of impending doom …
It seems like it has been a long time since I even showed you any knitting. But I am working on a few projects. My Central Park Hoodie has a completed back, and I am working on one of the front pieces. I accepted the fact that I am not …

Oh socktober, you were over too quickly for me. i discovered that in a month of dedicated sock knitting, I can make *gasp* ONE pair of socks. I am wearing them today to see out the month in style. You already met them a few days ago… here they are …
The contest prize: A skein of sock yarn dyed by me and a set of Kitchener stitch markers (may not be the exact ones pictured). Man those things are hard to photograph. So far the odds are pretty good… only a handful of entrants. Tell your friends! *end of prize …
I finished my project for the whipup competition – the whole thing only took a few hours and I love the result. Since I haven’t decided in which category it will be entered, i am not ready to make a whole post about it, but just tease you with a …
I don’t know if you have taken a peek at my sidebar lately, but I have joined a couple of casual knit-alongs. The first is Socktoberfest. The rules seem simple – knit some socks in october. Perfect, since i just turned a heel last night. I am also comfortable enough …
