Twinknit

oooooh! late night splurging, but it’s not what you think. I resisted the urge to buy kidsilk haze to make Aimee from Vintage Knits (still debating a color, and really, I should finish one project before I start another and I just ordered yarn for the hourglass sweater); I resisted the urge to […]

So, despite the lack of sun, here are the finished Jaywalkers #2:
Pattern: Jaywalker SocksYarn: Knitpicks Sock Garden “Geranium”Needles: some metal dpn, US 2Started: uhhh… December 24, 2005Finished: January 28, 2006 (with some other stuff in between)

So this is what I have done with the month of january…
This is my second pair of Jaywalker… in progress. They’re for my mom (brighter than I thought she would like, but she really fell in love with the way the colors merge. You can’t tell here, but there’s some really interesting red/pink combos in […]

So… after months of thinking about it, joking about it, lurking around, and knitting like a fiend, today is the day. I woke up this morning and decided that I would finally start my own knitting blog. There were several incidents motivating my decision to get off my lazy ass and start writing:
