Last chance to enter the “What’s in a color?” contest—the deadline is midnight tonight!
I started a new pair of socks a couple weeks ago. The colorway fits the current Project Spectrum theme, and these socks will be gifted later this year. After completing two pairs in a row for myself, it was time for [...]

Old and New

I continue to gain yardage.
First, I splurged a little bit after I received my income tax refund. I couldn’t resist the colors of that Fortissima (Mexico Evolution Silver), perfect for Project Spectrum. I hope I can start them next month!

What’s in a color? (Contest #4)
Posted by limedragon | Filed under contests
I’ve decided it’s time for a contest! (All the pictures in this post can be clicked to view a bigger copy.)
I recently completed a pair of socks with Trekking XXL in a lovely colorway, “76.” Well, I say that number leaves something to be desired. If a color number doesn’t have a corresponding name, [...]

At long last!
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, socks
Thanks everyone for the well wishes last week. I’m mostly over my cold now. Strangely, it was mild (as in I didn’t need much medicine), but also was lingering and annoying. I was very glad to finally get a good night’s sleep!
I managed to finish three garter squares for Warm Up America, but [...]

Them’s the Breaks
Posted by limedragon | Filed under general, knitting
Thanks everyone for your comments regarding the Mermaid Socks! I appreciate them all and will respond to the comments as soon as I can. I’ve been lax this week.
I’ve been working on some simple garter squares to drop off for Warm Up America this weekend. Mindless knitting, but I’ve had a hard time finishing [...]

Last weekend, Mom and I took pictures of the “Heart in the Park” event at the MOA. There were hearts plenty, and the sculptures were fun and cute. Local folks who are planning to attend Knit-Out & Crochet this weekend will be able to see these, since the event does not end until February [...]

I finished upgrading WordPress this past weekend. I think everything works as it should. Do let me know if anything seems wonky. Thanks!
And now, may I present to you the not-quite-matching Mermaid Socks.

February Progress
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, site updates, yarn stash
First, some excellent news! The Mermaid socks are finished! And I had just enough yarn to finish both toes (whew)! I’ll get pictures soon.
Now, I had a short to-do list for January. Let’s see how I did.

A chicken among the tulips
Posted by limedragon | Filed under general, knitting, socks
The MOA, as part of the ongoing Park in Bloom event series, held a “Largest Indoor Tulip Show” last month, January 19-27. I don’t know if it really is the largest indoor tulip show, but there were lots of tulips, and I gave Mom my camera to take pictures as we walked around the [...]
