Twinknit

I swear, I haven’t dropped off the face of the planet. I’m in Philly. Again. I feel like I’ve been out of town more than in town these last few months, and it’s led to some erratic blogging. But — there will be knitting, news, and photos when I return to […]

I would like to say, for the record, that ripping back an inch of the foot of the Pomotamus was the most hair-raising, terrifying experience of my brief knitting career. I hope never to have to rip something like that again. All I can say is THANK GOD for that US 000 needles. […]

I’m back from my east coast rambles and cozily, if sleepily, installed back in my little mountain home. I’m still in the process of catching up on my blog reading, but it seems as though everyone had lovely holidays. I have a lot to post about, but I’m going to follow Rachel’s lead, and stagger […]

I’ve got a question for those of you out there still using Blogger. I switched this weekend to Beta-Blogger. I’ve been having a few problems with it. The biggest and most annoying is the comments — I have comments forwarded to my e-mail so that I can respond to you lovely people. For some reason, […]

Wow. I can’t believe it’s been a week since I last posted. Where did the time go? Plenty of knitting has been happening over here which will be revealed soon enough. In the meantime, I’ll distract you with a small FO and some pretty pictures.
Pattern: My own, if you want to call it a patternYarn: […]

Last Christmas, I made my mom a pair of socks. You might remember them:
Evidently, they were a big hit, because they were worn. A lot.
I took them back from mom when I was home for Thanksgiving in the hopes that I could repair them, but I have no idea how to go about […]

Sorry to post twice in one day, but my friend Jennifer (in the middle there) has, after much harrassing, poking and prodding, finally started her own knitting blog today. Y’all should go check it out.
And for those of you who remember the picture of the cutest lamb ever, that photo was taken by my friend […]

If you recall, earlier this fall, I declared 2007 the year of color-work. I got a head start this fall with the Huron socks and yesterday, better late than never, I joined Stranded. Over at Stranded, they ask:
Is this your first colorwork project? If it isn’t, what was your first, and has it survived […]
