It’s been an up and down kind of morning. But it’s official, I’m out of Sock Wars. I was SOOOOO disappointed, having been SOOOO excited. But I think I’m over it now. And I’ve just cast on a design I like much better than the Sock of Doom and I’m keeping them for myself. I’m… Continue reading Over It

Fave Pic So Far and a Worry
This is a great picture of someone’s weaponry. AND it turns out there was an email yesterday that I didn’t get until this morning (my fault) that said to make sure you had registered fully. I don’t remember choosing a nom de guerre or entering my shoe size (which is not to say I didn’t… Continue reading Fave Pic So Far and a Worry
My Deadly Yarn
The yarn and I are ready.
Sock Wars III
Waiting….for my dossier. Impatiently. One person has posted in Ravelry forums that she has her dossier, but she’s the only one so far…
I'm A Designer!
Hey! I got myself set up at Ravelry as a designer. So far I’ve only uploaded my Cyber Chart (the chart for my cyberman head, that graces G’s sweater), but I have a sock pattern and another, fairisley Doctor Who chart to go up, oh and a hat pattern. I smell another project coming on… Continue reading I'm A Designer!

Stash!
I couldn’t help myself: I bought one of those Webs Grab Bags. It arrived today. I have to admit that, for the money, it looks like a paltry collection. It is mostly DK, fingering or light worsted, and in smallish skiens (mostly under 100 yds) so it doesn’t take up much space. But it’s mine.… Continue reading Stash!
Yarn Fumes
I just suffered my first bout with yarn fumes. I got this email and stood, frozen at my computer for a good five minutes, fingers poised, working out how many sweaters that would be and whether or not I wanted to be tied to this much yarn and how long it would be until I… Continue reading Yarn Fumes
Sweater RSI
OK, so all that 4×2 ribbing left me with a little RSI, so I’ve had to slow down the progress on the Manly Durrow a little. However, I have made it to through the first repeat on the sleeves. (This picture taken a few days ago:) There are some crazy cable instructions on there, but… Continue reading Sweater RSI
Manly Durrow Update
So, I’ve been knitting this manly Durrow and I have to say I’m enjoying it a lot. Especially considering all I’ve really done so far is a lot of 4×2 ribbing. But it’s a worsted weight cushie yarn and it knits up quickly and feels nice and requires just enough attention to stop it being… Continue reading Manly Durrow Update
