Restarted my sock last night, and I’m back to where I started, woolwise. Yes, it’s longer and narrower than its predecessor, and I like it a LOT better. The purl rows on both sides make it look much nicer.
Now to keep on knitting. Way to spend a lazy weekend.

I had 5″knit on this sock, and I ripped the whole thing back because I didn’t like the way the ribs were centered on the foot. Yes, I could have ripped back to the toe and picked up the stitches, but sometimes it’s easier to start from scratch. Oh well. At least I hadn’t turned the heel yet.
In the meantime, I have two finished pair of socks to photo and post, plus some of the pieces that went to the CT Bead Bazaar last weekend. In other words, I’m still around, just haven’t had a whole lot to say for myself.
Happy Friday!!!!!

tempation or inspiration? You decide

You don’t have to be a knitter to appreciate Kaffe Fassett’s colour sense. Here’s a peek at some of the luscious colours in his new “Exotics” line of sock yarn for Regia.
But if you are a sock knitter, particularly one who’s been trying to cut back on her yarn purchases, this could be a dangerous thing indeed.
And if you’re just a creative sort, just sit back and enjoy the eye candy. =)

that rather than feel badly that I don’t have the time inclination content to update this blog more often, I might actually just start making more frequent postings. In fact, this may just become a bit of a virtual bulletin board. So… with that in mind, hopefully you’ll see a few more posts.
What kind of posts, you ask? Things that make me happy. Things that inspire me. Things I want to share with my friends.
Hopefully this experiment will work.

Not much going on here. So… I figured I’d post one of my favorite happy songs in hopes that it makes someone else smile, too.
Gotta love Great Big Sea. =)
Hey, we always need ways to brighten up our Mondays, don’t we?
One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.
