It took a while for me to get [...]

Posted by limedragon | Filed under general, knitting
Inspired by Frarochvia’s mad organizational skills, I decided it was past time for me to reorganize some of my knitting accessories.
I started with my circular needles.

Red River
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, socks
When the new June pattern for Sockamania was distributed, I had a hard time figuring out what yarn I wanted to use. It took rummaging through a few stash boxes until I finally found something that felt right.
Also, I’ve been looking forward to the new color phase for Project Spectrum: red, black, and metallic. [...]

Decisions, decisions (Part One)
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, socks
I’ve been thinking about what to knit for my Sockapalooooza pal. I browsed through Knitty, MagKnits, and Nancy Bush’s books for inspiration.

Finished up my socks for my Hufflepuff pal in the Hogwarts Sock Swap last week. I really like this simple chevron rib pattern and would love to knit myself a pair someday.

Boring Post Today
Posted by limedragon | Filed under general
I’ve been so busy lately that I barely had a few minutes to spend on the computer. My blog-reading and emails were completely neglected last week because said moments went to Ravelry. But I’m off work this week so I have lots of time to catch up on things.
Yesterday I scrolled through a gazillion blog [...]
