Twinknit

Yesterday — hot, humid, and deliciously, unbearably sunny yesterday — was my first day of school. My first day as a teacher and not a student. My first day teaching three classes in one day. My first day with 48 scared college freshmen who I swear are getting younger every year. […]

Getting tired of old FO shots? Well I am. This set should round it up. I’m sure there’s stuff I’m forgetting, but who cares?! I knit both of these pairs in February and March, alternating between the two.
Socks for me:

Pattern: Mad Color Weave (Rav link)
Yarn: Shibui Sock, in “Chinese Red” (2 […]

Still working my way through FOs. I know this can get a little old, and when I get back from touring with D, I’ll have some progress shots of what I’m actually working on. In the meantime…

Patterns: Razor Shell Neckwarmer (on Rav)
Yarn: Blue Sky Alpaca, Alpaca-Silk (2 skeins, held doubled)
Needles: US 7, 4.5 […]

Continuing the FO parade…
In April, I finished two large projects. One: my dissertation (all 252 pages of it).

The other: my Tangled Yoke Cardigan.

Now I know I’m the gazzillionth person to finish this sweater (according to Ravelry, there are 816 people who have knit it. And that’s just on Ravelry). But I don’t […]

The back story:

Many of you may have guessed from the title of the blog that I’m a twin (I’ve talked about this before). I have twin brother named Adam (the lovely blonde in the photo at the top of this page. For better or for worse, I have always been a brunette). […]

I met my best friend Julie while I was living in the mountains. The first time I was introduced to her, I thought she was too cool for school. She has loooong red-auburn hair, and she wears shit-kicker cowboy boots pretty much every day (you can thank her for my final conversion to […]

 
A sign of things to come…

These took way, way, way longer than they should have. I cast on as a quick project in December and (sigh) two months later, here they are:

Pattern: Dashing (from Knitty, Spring 2007)
Yarn: Malabrigo Worsted Delight, in “Frost Gray” (under a skein… this stuff has wonder-yardage)
Needles: US 5 and US 4 dpns

Thoughts: Well… other than […]

Today is the perfect first day of February — gloomy, dark, rainy, and generally kind of miserable. A day to foreshadow what will inevitably be the weather for the rest of the month. But because we’ve only had cold-and-incredibly-sunny lately, and it’s only the first of february so I haven’t had time to […]
