I’m sorely tempted to buy some yarn on clearance at Knit Picks. I do have a project in mind for this yarn, but it would be awhile before I could get to it. I’d put sleeves on it, of course, but the yarn is $1.99 a ball. Any of the three clearance [...]

WIP It, WIP It Good!
Some updates on my WIP’s and a FO…
I’m happy to report that the gloves went over very well. My son was surprised to get them. I think he liked those better than the CD’s I got him.

WIP-Toe Up Socks.
I’ve decided to face my “fear” and use the Austerman Step yarn I bought for my birthday. These are toe up socks on 2 circulars, with short row toes, and it will eventually have a short row heel. The pattern is the Universal Toe Up Sock Pattern that was featured in [...]

It’s been quite awhile since I blogged. It’s hard to find the time to sit and do it, though, and I haven’t been knitting a whole lot lately. Now that it’s fall, I’ve been more in the mood to start doing it again.
This is my latest [...]
