In between the website upgrades, the movies, and the ice cream making, the weekend saw a bit of time for some actual knitting. These are the newest sock on the needles and they will be for The Boy (he...

According to Plan
This is going awfully well. Awfully well indeed. I have a sneaking suspicion this yarn (Chubbie, by Vice) is going to become one of my favorite fat sock yarns. This is especially good news, since...

Rhymes with Yarn
So I have a confession. I’ve been playing a game of chicken with the laundry. I somehow decided it would be much more efficient to wait to wash knitted socks until I had a whole load full. Have you...

And in Other News
The lovely blue socks I took off to the retreat are done (and have been for a while now, I just didn’t quite manage to get them outside and snap a picture). We’ll start with proof of concept. See...

That’s Better
Last night I found myself feeling restless. I couldn’t settle. I might even have been flailing around like an over-tired two year old. Then it hit me. I needed to knit. Not a swatch (swatching for...

Promising
I’m unreasonably taken with this sock. Let’s get a picture up to show you what I’m talking about. The yarn is drop dead gorgeous. It’s String Theory Merino DK in Didgeridoo and I love it to...

Remiss
Yes, yes indeed I have been remiss. My magical socks? The super fast ones? Well they are indeed quick, but they are not quite self knitting. I’ll likely finish up the first one this weekend. In...

I Play Chicken with the Train
I’m not sure what you were up to at 6:45 this morning. If you are a sensible reasonable person, you were likely tucked up in bed, sound asleep. If you are one of those alarmingly industrious types,...

Scoundrel
And now, the result of yesterday’s little adventure (that is, the pretty pictures that will likely show up in some format in the pattern, as opposed to the one that shows off the moment of ‘look,...

One Down
The first sock is done! See? All the way done, right down to the pretty little toes. And don’t worry, the little bars of yarn all lay a bit straighter when my foot (as opposed to the blocker) is...

Coop Knits Socks, Review & Giveaway
One of the most charming parts of TNNA (and yes, I do still owe you the official TNNA post, but I seem to have brought back the traditional TNNA cold, which has taken up residence in my ear and kept me...

Casualty
Last night found The Boy and I clambering around on the underside of our local abandoned railroad bridge in pursuit of excellence in sock photography (as you do). This particular spot had lots of...

Shocking
Hey, look, a sock. We haven’t seen one of those around here in a while. I realized the other day I was feeling a little crazy around the edges – a little crazier than usual. Now I like to think I’m...

Uncharacteristic
I’m doing something odd. I’m knitting a plain sock. A very plain sock. A nearly alarmingly plain sock. See? (And because you’ll ask, yes, it’s String Theory, of course it is!) I can’t tell if this...

Hypnotic
Ok, so apparently I’m not the only one who likes these. You seem smitten too. The Boy was home this morning, so I pressed him into service as foot double so I could grab a quick snap (I mention this...

Now for the Hard Part
The gusset decreases are done. Now I have to decide if I will a) keep going straight as established all down the foot or b) send it swerving off on a new path. And if I go with b, I then have to...

Progress
The first sock is nearly done. It would actually be done if I were the more decisive type. I (as predicted) went with the option where I worked on the needles to make the foot all swirly and keen. I...

Marooned
I’m delighted to announce that Marooned is out and ready for your needles. These are the socks I worked on while we visited San Francisco this summer (yes, yes I did bring a sock blocker with me in my...

Where Do Your Toes Start?
Well, not so much your actual, personal toes. I’m assuming those start towards the end of your feet. I more mean where do your sock toes start. I ask because the yellow socks are looking a lot like...

One Down
Great progress on the sock front. The first one is done (properly done with ends woven in and blocked and all), and the second one is on the needles. I’m pleased. I’m also, you will note, inside....
