I figured I would make this an official post rather than a hint in the sidebar of the website for October’s Skinflint Sock Club project. I’m very close to finishing test sock #1 for my new pattern release, 28:06:42:12. If those numbers sound familiar, it’s because that is when the world will end. I will […]
I know, I know…with the exception of yesterday’s post (which was a special event, yes), updates have been light on the ground. But I have an excuse…I’ve been busy! While The Yarn Harlot was taking part in Babywatch 2011, we have been doing a bit of the same. First off, a co-worker of mine was […]
There’s a steak in the oven, and a salad to be put together, and then…time for a nice dinner. I’m thinking brie and crackers for dessert. The dessert is an indulgence, but indulgence is allright today. Today is our anniversary. Sometime around the 20th of September, 2002, Robin and I officially became a couple. I […]
First, before I do anything else, I’m going to show how this month’s socks are going, since I couldn’t get it together for my weekly Wednesday update. I totally blame work for this, as the rotations screw with my brain. Robin had to remind me on Thursday night that he wasn’t going to need a […]
I mentioned that there probably wouldn’t be any pictures of muffins on my blog right? I lied. I found a low-carb muffin recipe and decided to give it a whirl. Ingredients? Cream Cheese, Eggs, Splenda, Vanilla and cinnamon (just a little tapped on top for a bit of zest). They’re currently cooling on the counter, […]
This is what it looks like outside, so there will be no wonderfully naturally-lit photos this week. Instead, you get to marvel that my carpet has actually seen a vacuum cleaner in recent days (I love my Dyson). I’ve gotten quite a bit of work done on Robin’s “Theoretical” sweater. He has named it the […]
Not too much to report on this week. I spent some time putting heels in some striped socks, so there should be a Finished-Object post on Friday (If I can remember to take photos, of course). I’ve gotten some work done on the current design sock-in-progress. I do have another design floating through my brain, […]
So on Wednesday (but published on Thursday for you folks who are sticklers) I alluded to the fact that the Camouflage Socks are finished (well, not exactly allusion, since I outright stated it, but it was a good opportunity to use a $20 word in a sentence) And with that, the official August socks are […]
(I wrote this yesterday when it was actually Wednesday. But I hadn’t had time to take the pictures, so consider this my WIP Wednesday on Thursday) I was going to show off my work in progress like I try to do every week…and then I finished my Camouflage socks. No, you can’t see the pictures. […]
I was pleasantly surprised today by our local Michaels. There is usually one small aisle of yarn, and a bit of pegboard with some notions on it. A few months ago, I recall them posting signs indicating that they were going to upgrade the section of yarny goodness. There’s a heck of a lot more […]
