Who's excited for the Olympics? I am! My current knit and crochet WIPs are totally out of control, I will admit, but that is not stopping me from eyeing my stash and queue for projects I can start as part of the Ravellenic Games! During the 2012 Games, my one project was the "Modular Relay"… Continue reading Ready for the Ravellenic Games

So it’s summer
Don't let my lack of posting fool you. There's no summer slide here! It's just that the project I've been devoting the most time to is a sample project. For now, that is staying under wraps. I have been working on my Stolen Moments socks. I managed to turn a heel when I took them… Continue reading So it’s summer
Interestings
So I've been reading and knitting and crocheting and not posting about it! I have two works in progress to share this week and one book. I started on the first Nalu Mitt back in April, and I cannot recall what other project distracted me from them. They are relatively quick and intuitive once you… Continue reading Interestings
A Fraction of Danger
This week I started on "Ways to Disappear" and it is moving much faster than I anticipated. The story is light yet intriguing and I am curious to see where it will go. My knitting is a bit blobby, but I am at the middle section of the Fractal Danger pattern. I finally had… Continue reading A Fraction of Danger
A New Perspective on Socks & Sugar
My knitting this week is a bit tricky to photograph. It is a pair of socks, worked two-at-a-time, to fulfill the 2nd semester assignment of Loopy Academy. The assignment is to make a pair of socks: A pair of socks, toe-up or cuff-down, whichever you are least familiar with. If you are equally familiar with… Continue reading A New Perspective on Socks & Sugar
Socks and stripes and a scarf-wearing penguin
I worked on a lot of projects and did a bit of reading last week, thanks in part to Winter Storm Jonas. We ended up with over a foot of snow, currently melting away, but when it was here the whole family did get out in it. I am pleased to report that several handknits… Continue reading Socks and stripes and a scarf-wearing penguin
First Finishes & Spiral Cowl WIP
I'm feeling pretty good about the knits this week. I have my first FO of 2016, a pair of Cindersmoke Mittens! So often I knit out of season, but it's been very cold waiting for the bus with the kids and there's a big snow storm coming (do you have your bread and milk stockpiled?).… Continue reading First Finishes & Spiral Cowl WIP
Nutmegknitter Recap | Vogue Knitting Live NYC
I love going to New York City! Each time really feels like an adventure - I take the train in to Grand Central Terminal, and when you walk through the terminal and then out on to 42nd street it feels like you've landed on a completely different planet. This was my first time to attend… Continue reading Nutmegknitter Recap | Vogue Knitting Live NYC
New Books and New Projects
Reading wise, I'm still working my way through Mary Poppins and still think she's a tough cookie! We had a small trip last week and picked up a Junie B. Jones audio book for the car ride. Last summer we listened to a few of the stories in the car and both kids liked them,… Continue reading New Books and New Projects
No Pain, No Gain
I bought this shirt on a total impulse when I saw it posted on FibreSpace's Instagram feed. My father works at a hospital and husband works in insurance, so we've actually had talk of the new ICD 10 codes at the dinner table. The fact that I now know the code for an injury by… Continue reading No Pain, No Gain
