Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! It is a rather dreary day here, so that is annoying and giving us a touch of cabin fever. We are having a mostly quiet 4th even with the rain. The biggest plan is to tucker out the kids so that my son will sleep ok… Continue reading FO Friday Cuteness

Orange You Glad It is Friday?
It feels like forever since I have had a Finished Object to share! And today I have not one, but two! First up, my Camp Loopy Project #1: Socks, inspired by the Wrinkle in Time series, in String Theory Colorworks Little Ghost Nebula Colorway. Mostly plain vanilla toe-up, fish lips kiss heel, with the addition… Continue reading Orange You Glad It is Friday?
Sock Bust and a Thneed
For FO Friday I have two things to share. I finished the SCREAMING NEON tube socks for kids. Unfortunately, they are a bust. They don't fit my 6 year old's feet, too snug. Oh well. It's my fault, I didn't bother to swatch, I just cast on and knit away. We have friends visiting us… Continue reading Sock Bust and a Thneed
Hand Stitched Necklace Review
As I have hinted at before, life off-line has been distracting as we "wait and see" on a number of health issues. I ended up doing a little retail therapy and purchased a kit from Red Gate Stitchery on etsy. I do not usually wear a lot of jewelry, and when I do, I keep… Continue reading Hand Stitched Necklace Review
Vigorous Violets
I finished April's Personal Sock Club this week. The yarn, a purple / green self-striper from the now nonexistent Rainy Days & Wooly Dogs, is called "Sailor Pluto" but, I took to calling these my Vigorous Violets. The name is actually a nail polish I picked up when my niece, Violet, got to go home… Continue reading Vigorous Violets
Awesome Girl
I have one little FO to share today. Presenting, the Awesome Girl! This was part of a quick swap on Ravelry - a friend wanted someone to knit this for her in exchange for yarn. I was happy to step up. The end result I think is pretty cute. There were some fiddly bits, but… Continue reading Awesome Girl
FO Friday and Mojo Search
My FO this week is another amineko, this one is a birthday gift for my aunt/godmother. While I love working with a theme, I know how easy it is to get overwhelmed by that theme. When I was younger, I loved poison dart frogs. I still do actually, they are so interesting! Well, people ran… Continue reading FO Friday and Mojo Search
More stripey socks
I finished these socks March 29! I knit this pair on US1s, and I really like the resulting fabric. These socks have been worn a few times already. This is my third pair of socks, third pair knit two-at-a-time, third pair self-striping, second pair toe-up. I think I'm sensing a pattern. I love a good… Continue reading More stripey socks
FO Friday Sockhead Hat
It feels like a long time since I have finished anything. Just in time for the return of the colder weather, I finished the knitting on a Sockhead Hat. I loved working with this yarn, Peppino, from The Yarns of Rhichard Devrieze. This project (knit with a variegated yarn) also fits the bill for the… Continue reading FO Friday Sockhead Hat
Finished and almost satisfied
Hooray for getting things finished! I'm now in a weird lull - I have many WIPs that are not calling to me, and other projects I want to start but that requires the effort of gathering all the supplies. Hopefully sharing the latest finished items will get that mojo moving in the right direction! First… Continue reading Finished and almost satisfied
