Amazingly, they fit men too.
For kicks, I asked my extremely tall co-worker Jeff if the Magnums fit his hands. I guess that answers that question. Still slogging away at the Yule knitting. Hoping to have something viewable soon. I hope.
Ramping up for Yule
First things first! Let’s get the pattern-wise info up & over with so we can get on to the real rambling! 😉 Every year I participate in a Ravelry group called “Super Sock Scarefest”. It starts in September and rolls right on through to October 31st. The goal is to complete as many of the […]
That’s a serious moustache!
I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since the last time I wrote anything here. I have moments where I could have sworn that I had written a full blog post, but then the moment passes and I head back on my way to whatever I was doing. It feels like its been a […]
Mittens for Movember
I know it’s been ages since my last post…what can I say? Life happens and this time it kicked me in the butt. I’ll be getting back to more regular posting soon, particularly now that we’re on our way to Yule and the mittens I was knitting as presents will hopefully soon be winging their […]
WIP Wednesday: The Yule Knitting Commences
I know that updates have been sparse lately, but I blame that on the work schedule being a bit wonky. One of the drawbacks of rotating shifts, I guess. When I haven’t been working, though, I’ve been keeping myself busy – and not with my Sims game! I’ve noticed time just slipping right away when […]
When did knitting socks become a challenge?
Anyone who knows me knows that I knit a lot of socks. Often I will mix up techniques just to keep things fresh and interesting. Very few people know that my kryptonite is often the dreaded Short Row Heel. I don’t know why I have trouble with Short Rows. I find them awfully fussy, and […]
WIP Wednesday: Knitting on…the sweater?!
You’d think there would be a ton of socks featured this week, what with the Scarefest having released two official patterns and two bonus patterns, but I’m going to disappoint you. While I wish I had the time and inclination to knit a pair of fine-gauge socks per week, I just don’t have that capability […]
Ten on Tuesday: The Weekend
I love the weekend. Well…I guess I should specify that as “days off”. As I generally work shifts, I don’t always get a traditional weekend, where the work week ends by 5pm on Friday afternoon and starts again by 9am on Monday. Even so, today’s Tuesday Ten is all about favourite things to do on […]
FO Friday: Warmth for Wednesday
For lace socks, these are sure going to be warm. I find that Paton’s Kroy is really great for warm socks, and while the nature of lace is to be full of holes, I can’t see that stopping the Kroy from doing it’s job. It’s like the Buttered Cat Paradox. So here they are: Wednesday […]
WIP Wednesday: She’s Watching the Detectives…
Man, it’s so cute. But seriously, we’ll get to the whole Elvis Costello reference in a moment. First I have to show you my Wednesday socks. They’re not quite finished yet. I’m a wee bit disappointed in that, but Real Life and the latest Sims 3 expansion threw a bit of a spanner in the […]
