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 […]

I can’t believe I’ve only posted twice in the last month. It’s a testament, I guess, to how busy things have been. But now, student portfolios are evaluated, grades are turned in, moving is (almost) completed, and I have arrived safely at my parents home for a week of good food, too much Law & […]

Today was an extrordinarily beautiful day - the perfect day for a photo shoot. D and I went to Batram’s Garden, a West Philadelphia institution that I have managed never to visit in the five years I have lived here, despite the fact that it is only a few blocks from my house. Perfect spot […]

Pattern: Drunken Bees, from Domesticrafts
Yarn: Koigu KPPM, in what I call “Bombay Sapphire”
Needles: US 1 dpns
Thoughts/Modifictions: Man. This pattern rocks. It’s so squishy and crazy and complicated-looking. But really, it’s one of the most fun knits I’ve done in a while, even with four different attempts. This sock is […]

… I seem to have dropped off the face of you!
I’ve been struggling with technology lately. I don’t know if it is because I spend a lot of time in front of the computer for “work,” or because I’ve been at conferences and having meetings and travelling and generally experiencing life, but — for some […]

Sigh. Today I turned this:
[please ignore the kitty paw prints all over my window sill… it’s their favorite place to sit. Note to self: wash window sills]
into this:
I *heart* the pattern. I *heart* the yarn. But the pattern looks much, much better when it’s not streatched the max, and it was streatching […]
