Twinknit

I’m so pleased… I just called knitpicks about my Addi Naturas (you may remember they broke). They are sending me a new pair, no questions asked, no need for photos. I’m so pleased.

Oh my. It’s been such a long while since I last posted. And last night, while I was lying in bed, I came up with the best post ever. But it was late and I thought, “I’ll remember that tomorrow.” And, go figure, it’s tomorrow and the poetry of what I […]

I’m overwhelmed by the feedback for my CdM socks. Thank you all so much! I’ve not been able to respond to everyone, so to those I’ve missed - THANKS!

I’m still in Philadelphia (and haven’t even found time to go to a yarn store yet!), running around like a chicken with my head cut […]

Sometimes, I get an urge to knit that is beyond reason. Tonight I was catching up on my blog reading and I was overwhelmed by the urge to do insane knitting - to finish all the projects on the needles so I can start new projects. I want to create. I need to finish blue […]

Thanks for your suggestions about the broken Addis. I’m going to try and get in touch with Skacel today and see if I can get a new pair. I bought them through Knitpicks (no LYS here) so maybe they can help. We’ll see… hopefully I’ll have a new pair soon so I […]

Broken Addis!!! I’m so upset — in addition to the fact that I have no other US 3 circulars and I can’t afford to get another pair, I just got […]

To distract myself from things-worrying-my-brain, I sat down this afternoon and finally finished the last Canal du Midi sock, in time to take pictures in the evening sun (how amazing, to have the sun still hitting my porch at 6:00 p.m. — the mountains behind me used to block it out by 4 p.m.).
Pattern: Canal […]

When I was in highschool, I saw this thing on Oprah about how we should all take the time to think about five things each day that made us happy. It sounds like a cheesy thing to do, but in times of desperation, I’ve found it to be very helpful. Today is far from a […]

Well, not really lost, but… may as well have been. It feels like ages since I’ve posted. I spent the weekend in Kentucky, working and playing. Obviously, I didn’t finish the second Canal du Midi sock. Thursday, I left my house and carefully made sure to pack my unfinished sock, knowing I would have plenty […]
