Startitis

Had a little falling down in the projects department. I'd been planning to start Heather's Christmas socks once I got done with the previous pair on the needles, but this got there first: This is MimKnits Flutter Scarf, in Skylark Yarns Les Oiseaux, a 70/30

FO: Pillar Socks

I have never had this much trauma getting a pair of socks out the door. Got partway through the cuff on sock #1 with a rogue loop of yarn at one side, I thought I could live with it. I couldn't, but I deluded myself for an inch

FO: Handspun Halfdome #2

Got to my doctor's appointment crazy early the other week. Lunchtime traffic was less than I expected, the doctor was late, and, well... RIMMER: There: some kind of writing on the floor. P-S-I-R-E-N-S. Psirens? KRYTEN: The poor devil scrawled it in his death throes, using a combination of

I remember making a crocheted handkerchief case during Thursday craft afternoons at Broke Hall Primary school. It used three strands of cobalt-blue yarn and I complained about it the whole time. I have a vague memory it was double crochet. It came out slightly lopsided but Mum sewed a nice

FO: Handspun halfdome

This project did not get off to a good start. When I joined the stitches, I set off using the tail of the cast-on yarn. Then I started knitting inside out. Knitting it brings back memories of time spent at Maryland Sheep and Wool with Rox in 2007, the smell
