Small Items

Have you ever misplaced a needle, only to find it in the laundry a few days later?
I’ve been busy! I finished the Flamingo socks and mailed them off, sans mutant Zebras. The person who will receive the Zebras has already returned to the Cities, so I will gift these separately. Pictures are forthcoming.
I took [...]

Of War and Sockdeath
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitalongs, knitting, socks
During the past few weeks, I’ve been participating in Sock Wars 2006. It’s a tourney or assassin-style knitalong where each socknitter is assigned a target. We’re given a weapon (the International Socks of Doom pattern) and must try to complete and mail off our target’s socks before being killed ourselves. It’s been fun, even if [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Anticipation

I was surprised to find a package from Atlantis (my 1SSP) in the mail on Saturday. I squealed and was about to rip it open when I saw this:

Aren’t you glad I didn’t show you inch-by-inch progress on this piece for the Cropped Cardi?

New Socks!
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitalongs, knitting, secret pals or swaps, site updates, socks
First, a few quick updates. I’ve temporarily changed my blog theme to match June Project Spectrum. : ) I actually like the layout, and the central (main body) width is similar to my default, but I get three columns, instead of two. I’d love your feedback on the layout/theme; is it something I should consider [...]
