Doubly wrong

What’s with the pile of string.  Well I got really eager and decided to go for the gold, because what’s sleep when you can say you finished a project.  And when you finish the project you can start a new one with a free conscious.  A new project that includes ears.  I am very excited [...]

Froggy went a courtin’ and he did

realize that there were way too many colors working thorough out the fun Fleece Artist yarn and that the interesting pattern of the firestarter motif would always be overshadowed by the colors.  This realization led to the decision to choose another pattern and save firestarter for another day.  Because all the work of the 1 [...]

Another great thing from Scandinavia

It’s always fun to learn a new technique and sometimes I actually will go through the effort of something suggested in Vogue Knitting(the only knitting magazine I get on a regular basis).  One such case was the Scandinavian Two Ended knitting presented in an article by Meg Swansen.
So I wanted to learn more than one [...]

Toe up

What’s that you say, is it a hat for a tiny pointy headed being.  No its a sock toe.  Yes for my second sock pattern I choose a toe up version.  Not intentionally, it just happened to be a pattern I thought was fitting.  It is called Firestarter (by Yarnissima) and although the color way of my Fleece [...]

The things I do for my sister, and for what

My mother taught both my sister and I to sew when we were children.  This means we both are able to assist the other.  She helped with my blue triangle quilt by helping to cut out and organize the pieces.  (I think she likes order even more than I do.)  And I also will do [...]

Running out of green clothing, but I have on green socks

So I finished my embossed leaf socks.  I finished them when I was in Boston because I had decided since they were so close to being done that I would like to wear them for the Parade.  Yup this year I went to not just one St. Patrick’s day Parade, but two.  The Boston one [...]

Pokey

So after the last post, you might wonder what I tend to watch when working on Pokey.  The answer is Stargate: SG-1.  Its not as gripping as BattleStar, but it has the lasting power and spin-off power of Law and Order.  Its funny and creative in the different races that are included.  Okay make fun [...]

Sayid’s contribution to the sock

So I gave in and have returned to Lost.  The only reason I originally did not watch this season was I forgot.  I know how silly is that.  But then also I wasn’t sure how much they might torture me but not being able to provide a whole season.  I have dealt with the stopping [...]

Hannah Day Day

Guess what I got to have last night, a Hannah Day Day.  Now let me explain this, some people might think that it comes from childhood.  They would be wrong horribly wrong.
As legend tells it in 10th grade some of the students had Mrs. Rohner for English class.  And Mrs. Rohner was bitter at the [...]

I shall call you socky, and you shall be mine, you shall be my socky

Any one who does a craft understands how it is when you get close to the end.  You just want the accomplishment of being finished and you know that it is within reach.  So you stay up late, but not late enough.  Then you get up early and it is early enough to finish and [...]
