It’s been a really busy month and I haven’t even started my Christmas shopping yet! Yikes. However, I finally finished my Pomatomous socks! YAY!

Yarn: Sweet Georgia sock yarn in Libertine
Needles: #2 DPN’s
I wish I had better photos but I didn’t have time to set […]

anyone else feel it while watching the AMA’s and the Pussycat Dolls trying to sing while distracting us all by shaking their nubile bodies during a poorly choreographed dance routine? Oh man, when did I become such a music snob? But you have to agree, unless you’re a 14 year old boy, PSD […]

Finally! I think I’ve gotten the hang of the Pomatomus sock pattern. After two repeats of Chart A…it’s finally sunk in this usually absent-minded brain of mine, and I feel like I’m making some decent progress. I originally started knitting the Sweet Georgia Libertine yarn in the dragon skin pattern (that I […]

I was meaning to post more but I’m exhausted. Weekends aren’t meant for rest and relaxation but some Mondays, I’m more tired than normal.
I started this sock from Nancy Bush’s Knitting Vintage Socks. I love this book! I am knitting with Cherry Tree Hill’s Java and I’m loving the yarn. It’s […]

It was last post ago I was talking about yarn craving. Sock yarn specifically. When buying yarn, I usually try to figure out the project first, and then […]

* 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 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.

Even though I am tired, knowing that tomorrow’s Saturday doesn’t matter. I’m not that tired. Not really. Work is kicking my ass but I’m learning to seperate as I ease myself into the job. I need to take advantage and enjoy my FREE time. And I really miss knitting! […]

Unlike the rest of the country, the Los Angeles area doesn’t seem to have any of those wonderful Sheep and Wool Festivals, however they do have this festival. I had been talking about it for days and almost passed it up last weekend because I was exhausted from […]

As soon as I was done the last pair of socks (Baby Cable Ribbed Socks), I cast on using the Carol Green Lorna’s Laces using one of the patterns from Sensational Knitted Socks. This was my first attempt at a Toe-up sock. In the past, I tried to learn using the figure-8 cast […]
