Three posts, but two good things -A new Lime'nViolet podcast and new Gilmore Girls.And we've settled into Veronica Mars too.So, good on that.

Monkey Socks Originally uploaded by nutmegknitter. These are currently my favorite socks ever! They knit up really quick - I did the legs of each first and I really think that helped! The pattern (found on knitty.com) is great - I used Fleece Artist Basic Merino yarn in the "Rainforest" colorway - love it!! I… Continue reading FO – Monkey Socks

Me and My favorite scarf Originally uploaded by nutmegknitter. This photo was taken in the car with my cameraphone. I took it so I would have proof of actually wearing hand-knitted items! Actually, I'm still at work now and am still wearing the scarf! Doesn't it look like I'm daydreaming about knitting? I was listening… Continue reading Me and My favorite scarf

Dachshund walk Originally uploaded by nutmegknitter. Winter finally started to show up and now everyone in southern New England is going to complain that it's too cold! I tried to get Jackson outside for a walk - at least it was sunny today! But he was not having it - not even with his jacket… Continue reading Dachshund walk

My geeky side (which is both sides mind you) loves this:Sure, it seems like calculating sheep in order to reach the funtion of sleep, but as a knitter, it must have something to do with knitting and yarn, yes? I have ordered a couple of shirts from threadless in the past - love them.

I've been working on my next pair of socks, Monkey (knitty.com). Inspired by another blogger (whose name escapes me right now) I knit both legs first on this one. Now that I'm working on turning the heel, it seems like they'll be done in no time!If you're feeling a hankering for a scary movie, given… Continue reading Monkey WIPs (and a rant)

I learned how to do origami in the 5th grade. I have dabbled in it for as long as I can remember. There is something soothing about making those creases / folds in the paper and ending up with something so delicate...I remember reading about Sadako and the 1000 Paper Cranes... I make them for… Continue reading 1000 Cranes

These socks I've decided I want to enter as my "Blue Monday" socks in the January "theme" for Socktopia - I flew through knitting these socks - amazingly! I was so stoked to be done, but I made one too short for my foot! This is the second time I have done this! Gotta learn… Continue reading Yay for Socks!

Actually, it wasn't blogger that ate my first attempt at this post. I was trying to get a photo to show support for the Jets and Chad:And the game has been a big groan. Oh well. Not being a huge football fan, I'll recover. The original intention of the post was to discuss the weekend.… Continue reading Groan.

Bogus Breakfast Originally uploaded by nutmegknitter. And it got worse from there. I love the 100 calorie packs of food - satisfying, yet keeps me in check. Muffins are my downfall. I was so excited by this - I was hoping for something like the Baby Goldfish but all I got was 2 regular minimuffins.… Continue reading Bogus Breakfast
