First a FO . . .
the Suicide Socks
pattern: International Sock of Doom
yarn: Cascade 220 Superwash
needles: Clover Bamboo US5
cast on: October 8th cast off: October 18thÂÂ
notes: I really love this pattern, especially for house socks.  They didn’t really take that long to knit, they were put aside for some other knitting. I have another ball of Cascade 220 Superwash in my stash [...]
I died on October 4th with this very cozy pair of ISOD. I haven’t blogged about it because I wasn’t sure what I was going to write, but I guess truth is best.ÂÂ

Apparently, I am to stupid to be allowed to knit. I am attempting to knit up Quinn; a beautiful cabled bag with wonderfully written directions, which I am unable to read. Quinn starts out by knitting a top band then picking up stitches around and knitting down. I have now knit the top band twice [...]
One is the pinwheel blanket. I ripped it and placed the yarn back into stash. I like the pattern, but the more I thought about finishing the blanket the more I ask myself why I was making it. I don’t have a baby, not planning on one in the near, or far, future. I don’t [...]
I didn’t get to go and see the Yarn Harlot, but I made quite a bit of progress on the first pair of Holiday Socks. I am using Opal 6ply. I don’t want to talk about ALL the knots and the sections of yarn I have had to set aside to keep the pattern even some [...]
