Over It

It’s been an up and down kind of morning. But it’s official, I’m out of Sock Wars. I was SOOOOO disappointed, having been SOOOO excited. But I think I’m over it now. And I’ve just cast on a design I like much better than the Sock of Doom and I’m keeping them for myself. I’m… Continue reading Over It

Sock Wars III

Waiting….for my dossier. Impatiently. One person has posted in Ravelry forums that she has her dossier, but she’s the only one so far…

I'm A Designer!

Hey! I got myself set up at Ravelry as a designer. So far I’ve only uploaded my Cyber Chart (the chart for my cyberman head, that graces G’s sweater), but I have a sock pattern and another, fairisley Doctor Who chart to go up, oh and a hat pattern. I smell another project coming on… Continue reading I'm A Designer!

Yarn Fumes

I just suffered my first bout with yarn fumes. I got this email and stood, frozen at my computer for a good five minutes, fingers poised, working out how many sweaters that would be and whether or not I wanted to be tied to this much yarn and how long it would be until I… Continue reading Yarn Fumes

Sweater RSI

OK, so all that 4×2 ribbing left me with a little RSI, so I’ve had to slow down the progress on the Manly Durrow a little. However, I have made it to through the first repeat on the sleeves. (This picture taken a few days ago:) There are some crazy cable instructions on there, but… Continue reading Sweater RSI

Manly Durrow Update

So, I’ve been knitting this manly Durrow and I have to say I’m enjoying it a lot. Especially considering all I’ve really done so far is a lot of 4×2 ribbing. But it’s a worsted weight cushie yarn and it knits up quickly and feels nice and requires just enough attention to stop it being… Continue reading Manly Durrow Update
