No, I’m not kidding; I really did buy underwear tonight instead of doing laundry. In my defense, I am not completely out of clean underwear. I just don’t have many clean pairs of comfortable underwear, and purchasing more seemed like the most time-efficient way to remedy this situation, since tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I [...]

Some people are good at getting Canadian rock stars to hold a sock (or Henry) for photo ops. I always thought that would be fun. So on Tuesday night, I asked Kevin Young, who plays keyboards for David Usher and played keyboards for Moist, to hold the sock I’m working on. (Of course I brought [...]

Lately I have been lax in my picture-taking. There has been knitting, and a little bit of spinning, and good lord has there ever been stash expansion, but I don’t really have much photographic evidence of such. By the way, the amount of expansion is much less frightening if you don’t include knitting and crochet [...]

For all intents and purposes, I have finished knitting the Tangled Up in Blue Socks… but I can’t actually wear them until I weave those four ends in. The plan is to do that tomorrow morning, although I shouldn’t have said that, because as I’ve mentioned before, claiming on the Internet that I will do [...]

I am trying to think happy thoughts, but it is not easy. A soothing picture of the sock near a lighthouse might help. Luckily, I just happen to have one.
Know what is a very happy thought? Lots of yarn.
The only thing I like more than lots of yarn is lots of books.
Baby-sitters Club books are [...]

I am not the one who originally said that this pink strip of knitting looks like a stomach lining, and I didn’t pay quite enough attention in biology class to know whether it really does or not (Tip: If you’re thinking of doing a Google Image search for “stomach lining?” Don’t.), but I’ve been referring [...]

Bad blogger, no biscuit. As always, I have a fleet of creative excuses for why I hadn’t been posting. The main one is that I couldn’t find the doohickey that connects my digital camera to the computer so I could upload photos, and knitblogs aren’t as much fun without photos, so whenever I thought about [...]

Ah, yes. I promised last month that I would post some yarn pr0n photos, did I not?
Fleece Artist Merino Boucle. It looks something like dreadlocks, but since Fleece Artist also has a yarn called Dreadlocks, it is probably not wise to describe it as such.
Crack Silk Haze. Duuude. ‘Nuff said. You don’t know how badly [...]

There has not been much knitting lately, and I am sorry. I am busy with a few other things, namely my NaNoWriMo novel, and the fact that next weekend, I am moving to Fredericton for six months. (I’m not fitting the entire six months into the next weekend. They’re just going to start then.) If [...]

This is my new friend Sock. Sock comes pretty much everywhere with me lately.
I don’t have a lot of free time, so I have to steal a few minutes whenever I can to work on him. Oops, that sounds dirty. In order to make Sock, I am loosely following Silver’s One Sock on Four Double [...]
