Sock Updates (and a Bonus!)
Lots of knitting done over the weekend, and I have a few pics to prove it. First off, I finished my parents’ socks, and they were mailed off today, snug in cute little sock sleeves (idea courtesy of Carolyn via Grumperina). Hope they fit well, Mom and Dad! Let me know when they arrive… Next,…

The Spring of Socks Continues…
I haven’t posted much this month, so I thought I would wrap up February with an overview of the sock knitting marathon, and a mini-tirade about yarn availability and service. Sock Update First up is a portrait of Jeremy’s finished Trekking socks. These are currently wending their way across the country in the good company…

The Spring of Socks
Not sure how it happened, but this is turning out to be the spring of socks. Case in point: The three images above were my projects over the Christmas break. My mom and I picked out the yarn over Thanksgiving, and with it I made a capelet and scarf for my mom (sorry for the…

Arnolfini Style
Now that Jeremy has posted a few more photos from the Halloween party, I should write a little more about our costumes, just to finish the subject for once and all. Mr. Arnolfini Jeremy’s houppelande was constructed from plum satin lined with black cotton cloth and trimmed with a nice low-pile brown faux-fur that we…

Sweater Pics
I’ve had a request to post images of some of my older sweaters, since I didn’t get much knitting done over the summer (I knit about half a Broadripple Sock in sage green, and spent the rest of the time hanging out with Jeremy). So last night I took a few pics; bear in mind…

Knittin’ and Readin’
I have been reluctant to post pictures recently because there were some photos of Loki still on our digital camera that I couldn’t bear to look at yet. This weekend I finally got it over with, and took some photos of a few current and finished knitting projects. You Guessed It… …more sock news. I…

Bamboo Yarn and Shrinking Violets
At last I’ve taken a few pictures of recently finished projects and yarn acquisitions. First up is the pair of picot socks improvised from the seamless toe-up short-row technique I am playing with. I’m sure it has been done before somewhere, but I don’t really know the name of the technique. At any rate, the…

A Short Update
Not sure when I will post my next blog entry*, so I’ll just give you a brief update for the time being. * Jeremy comes home for spring break late tomorrow night, and my parents will be visiting over their spring break the following week. Yay for company! Knitting Progress I’m very pleased to say…

Vintage Cardi, AbFab, and More
I know it’s been a while since I posted. I’ve been busy in the interim with a few new knitting projects that I have just not photographed yet. After finishing the Dresser Scarf socks, I was ready to move on to a new project, but had no ideas lined up, and a severely dwindling stash.…

Socks and More Socks
Well, maybe the Fuzzy Feet aren’t interesting enough to have their own blog entry. I felted them yesterday, and they are still quite damp, but I am happy with how they turned out. Warm feet coming right up… I also finished the Dresser Scarf socks this evening, and they fit nicely. I am definitely not…

Dresser Scarf Socks
I must be in a sock-making mood. Last week I knit myself a second pair of Fuzzy Feet from scraps of Lamb’s Pride. They knit up fast, and gave me something to do during the slow afternoon of our library’s annual book sale. I just have to weave in ends on one sock and felt…

Filling the Hours
Over the break, I did a bit of knitting, but generally avoided it so I could pay more attention to Jeremy. Therefore, I don’t have a single finished project to report yet. But when my fingers were really itching to knit, I worked on my third Flower Basket shawl. I am also nearly done making…
