Scraps of memory

on Nov 26th 2007

I’ve been making small things, quickly.  You’ll have to forgive the flash photography–no sun in Virginia today.  The colors aren’t quite right, but you’ll get the point. All of the bags I made this weekend have the same basic dimensions.  I made several of the shorter, square version because it just seems good for socks, […]

Distilfinks, ducklings, lambs, and beer

Sprung

on Mar 12th 2007

Kayo would like to remind you all to take the time to stop and taste the croci. Ours apparently taste pretty good. Spring has sprung, and projects are progressing along nicely.  Including these new fingerless mitts. The pattern is from a Meilenweit sock yarn pattern booklet, and the yarn is Knit Picks Sock Memories in […]
