SRP: 2nd Half of July
Posted by limedragon | Filed under books, refrigerator dishes
My brain has pretty much fried from the high heat we’ve had lately. But I did get a fair amount of reading done.

Color Blox Sox

They’re done! And just in time for the 6Sox deadline! : )
I didn’t spend much time on these socks for most of July for two reasons. I was so busy and tired from work, I needed “faster” projects (using thicker, worsted weight yarns). And I stalled on the swirling pattern. Last weekend, I picked them [...]

Same Story
Posted by limedragon | Filed under general, knitting, refrigerator dishes
Apologies to any readers out there. I’m still unable to devote the time needed to post here regularly. I finally learned what’s going on at work and it appears that I will continue filling in every day for another two more weeks. I also had a little trouble with my camera this weekend… I need to [...]
Behind

I’m really behind right now. I owe zillions of emails. I have lots of photos to transfer and crop. My SYAC swap pal received her socks, yay! I was surprised last week by two wonderful packages in the mail, one from my SP8 and the other from Atlantis (1SSP), wowee! I will blog about these [...]

I’ve yet another work-filled week in the works. Yesterday I was so tired I didn’t think I could even *gasp* knit… but after a delicious meal of farmer-market-fresh veggies, I felt better and did start a hat cuff. Today I’m pretty tired again, so I won’t do the planned SRP update.
I noticed a few weeks [...]
Sock Progress
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitalongs, knitting, socks
During the past week, I finished the toes and insteps on the Color Blox Sox for 6Sox. I haven’t taken a real progress picture yet because it’s all stockinette. I did finish the heels last night, and they look great and fit very well, yay! I enjoyed this type of toe-up heel-flap-gusset construction. It seemed [...]

Swap Socks and a Cuff
Posted by limedragon | Filed under accessories, knitting, secret pals or swaps, socks
These warm socks are on their way to their recipient in Australia, so I’ll post a little picture now. I got some funny striping with the Super Glitz (Cherry Tree Hill, DK weight, colorway River Run). See?

Still here!
Posted by limedragon | Filed under general
I’ve been busy at work (ick, they asked me at the very last minute to work for the rest of the week when I had thought I would be off). I’ve been too tired to blog when I get home, but I do have pictures and posts to share. I’ll get started on these catch-up [...]
Fickle

Now that my deadline knitting has completed, I should’ve returned to my other WIPs, like the Color Blox Sox, Rock and Weave socks, or the Cropped Cardi. But I didn’t.
Faced with a sort-of deadline for August, I dug out the Lion Brand Wool I bought earlier this year and started a stranded two-color swatch. I’ve [...]

I’ve reverted the blog back to the default theme/skin. (July already!) If you’re registered here, you can change back to the blue theme by editing your account (the theme section is near the bottom). I’ll leave it there for a while. : )
SYAC Update
They’re finally done!
