I wanted to name this post “Steeking is Fun”

(Edited to Add: Grandma wants to say Hello to her neighbor Dorothy!) But I thought that might scare away some people!

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting
The dog sweater? It is done, steeks and all! I finished it last Friday. Pictures coming soon!
Meanwhile, here’s a few small items I recently made. Small projects are great distractions!
This baby hat is part of the test-knit mentioned earlier.

Dog Days
Posted by limedragon | Filed under baby stuff, knitting
It’s been a while since I last updated you all on Dad. He was able to go home in early October (nearly a month after the surgery). Last week, he had trouble breathing and the doctors found fluid around his lungs, so he was re-admitted to the hospital for treatment. He’s still at the hospital [...]

Itchy Feet
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, socks
The past two weeks have been pretty much a blur. I had an infected ankle (of all things!) during the Memorial Day weekend. It all started with itchy feet. No fun.

Victoriana
Posted by limedragon | Filed under accessories, knitting
On Ravelry, I volunteered to test-knit a fingerless glove pattern for Hattie at Stitch Therapy. She was updating and converting the pattern from a blog post to PDF format and wanted new samples knit with currently/commonly available yarns and new photos.

I knit the smallest size, even though I wasn’t sure they would fit [...]

Oceans of Tweed
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, socks
Schrödinger has posted her sock pattern! She provides both cuff-down and toe-up instructions. I think it’s a really nice unisex pattern that works well with tonal or subtly variegated yarns. Her socks are knit in a great Trekking XXL colorway.

Colorless
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, socks
Thank you to everyone who left kind and encouraging comments on my previous post. They were not only appreciated but also cheered me up. : )
As promised, I have pictures of my recently completed socks. They were a test knit for Schrödinger, so I cannot share the details at this time.
