I was never really into wearing socks. Not as a fashion statement anyway until later on in my life. I’ve always lived in climates where one could run around in flip flops, bare toes and scuffed heels. Totally unfeminine. Then I discovered pedicures, so yet another reason to run around in […]

As I’m writing this entry, my wireless router is fizzling and dying. It keeps blinking in and out, and it’s really pissing me off.

No matter. I’ve received some wonderful packages the last couple days, hello there Loopyewe! and Ms. Paula, who was my International Scarf Exchange Pal. Paula is from Ottawa, […]

* When did you start making socks? Did you teach yourself or were you taught by a friend or relative? or in a class?
I taught (around March/April 2006) myself how to make socks using an online tutorial. This was a fantastic beginner tutorial that took you step-by-step through the whole process and using different […]

I’m in the mood for scarf knitting!
This has been brought about as a result of knitting a scarf for the ISE Exchange. I knitted a Liesel Scarf from my Secret Pal, Sandra a knitter/blogger from Croatia. I really loved knitting this scarf. It’s one that kept my attention and focus for sure. […]

I finally got a chance to take photos of my biggest latest FO (a month late). I’ve normally stuck to smaller knits so this was a big one for me.

While I’ve been busy ignoring this blog because of work, I’ve still managed to knit my scarf for the ISE exchange. No photos for right now but I’ve done about ten repeats from the lace scarf and it’s chugging along really nicely. Hey! This lace thing isn’t so bad at all. […]
