2009: Planning
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, yarn stash
I recently upgraded WordPress on this blog and decided a makeover was in order. It took several tries (I hoped to find a magazine style layout that worked to my liking, but no luck), and I really like the new look. Fresh and simple at the same time. I hope you all like it too. [...]

Busted!

Remember my Yarn Diet? That went bye-bye the weekend after Thanksgiving. I simply could not resist the lure of the 3 Kittens NeedleArts’ sale after the news went around that the last of the sale yarns were now 75% off!

Holiday Preparation
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, socks
I stopped by the 3 Kittens (update: link fixed, thanks!) last weekend to get some yarn for the secret gift I’m making. I lucked out because they were having a sale. The yarn I bought was 45% off, and I also got 15 patterns for $1! (The yarn doesn’t break my Yarn Diet, because [...]

Sock Yarn Love
Posted by limedragon | Filed under socks, yarn stash
I really do like sock yarn! They’re so colorful and fun to look at. Plus, you usually only need 1-2 skeins and that’s not as expensive as buying yarn for larger projects. Before I put myself on a yarn diet, I had acquired some fun and varied sock yarns. (Hey! Today, it’ll have been [...]

Sock Yarn Obsession
Posted by limedragon | Filed under events, knitalongs, knitting, yarn stash
2005 wasn’t a sock year for me at all. I made a pair of Grumperina’s Jaywalker socks with 100% acrylic worsted weight. We shall never speak of it again. I also bought two skeins of Cascade Fixation; I originally wanted Margarita 9904, but they were sold out, so I got Pansy 9464 instead. I was deeply [...]
