I cast off Logan last night, and managed to get a so-so picture in the waning daylight. Continue reading »

(Surprise! I have finally rolled out my new blog theme. Simple, but cute, and totally me. Stop by and check it out!)

Remember these socks? Frogged them. I thought the yarn (Omo) would be nice with something lacy. How about Jeanie? Pretty cables and dropped stitches? What could not be more fun? Continue reading »

A little cheese, a little whine

I cast-on for my first project of the new year last Friday. I was full of excitement, hope, and knitting promise. The yarn was a good match for the pattern, light colored with good stitch definition. A very good start!

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 them. All week my energy and motivation levels have been low.

It hasn’t been a bad week per se, but there certainly have been incidents.

Long day, but nothing to show for it

Today started out well, really, it did. I went walkabout in the neighborhood for 40 minutes and took my knitting with me. I didn’t see a soul while I was out, (this was about 8:45 to 9:30), but it was a good walk. I got through an orange stripe on the Madder socks.

I’m nearly done with the legs on the Sixth Sense Socks. I meant to take a photo today, but forgot. I’ll do that first thing tomorrow. The STR is amazingly soft and feels great next to my skin after the slightly scratchy Opal.

I didn’t get anything much done after my walk. I discovered that my posts weren’t displaying properly. (You had to be logged in as admin/owner to even see anything.) Arrgh… it took a few hours but it should be working properly again. I’m glad that’s over. But that’s why I got so little accomplished today, and my “To Do” list is definitely NOTHING to sneeze at. Tomorrow, I’ve promised myself, I’ll be able to check off more items.
