Before the baking, a minor knitting update.  I’ve tweaked the Lady of the Lake pattern so that the sleeves are knit in the round from the shoulder down, because that’s how they should be knit, dammit.  I am also making an absolutely lovely pair of Hedgerow socks* out of Spirit Trail sock yarn in a […]

So, I was having that ongoing problem with socks just plain not working out that I mentioned.  I did some soul-searching, talked to some other sock knitters about possible solutions, and decided on a plan.  The plan involved some frogging, some math, and some generosity. Now we’ve reached the generosity segment of my recovery process.  […]

I cannot currently reply to any email coming in through my old email address, and since we’re firing our cable/internet provider in a matter of days, they’re not going to be terribly inclined to help.  Soooooo, if you’ve emailed me in the last few days and I haven’t replied, that is why.  I am also […]

Right, posting with the quickness, because I need to get back to Battlestar Geek-lactica’s old seasons on […]

The last of the ends are woven into the sockyarn blanket.  I spent some time over the weekend discovering that I actually can crochet, sort of, but that crochet doesn’t seem to be fixing the curling around the edges.  I’m giving some thought to a seed-stitch border, or perhaps some really burly crochet edgings.  I’d […]

And it will all be over.  And, also, the sun will come out. It’s done, so I can restart the second hose (sock?  I still need a singulative for hose) again once I befriend the math.  Again.  I may be in the midst of making some socks for someone else, but I may also just […]
