Lostings and Findings

Happy birthday Hubby! Love you! Looked through my pattern books last night and found several nifty things. One was the baby dinosaur and egg pattern I made for Sehlat many moons ago from Knit-a-saurus, a book full of dinosaur patterns. Looks like it's out of print. I borrowed

Unloved no more!

A parcel was waiting for me today, all the way from France! It is Yvette's unloved sock yarn: Lana Grossa Meilenweit in a turquoise, yellow, green and white colour, I love it! This yarn was on my wishlist page for a while, this exact colour of this exact

New yarn

Got the new Patternworks catalog Monday, all glossy pictures of yarn and projects to tempt you away from the faithful UFOs waiting for your attention. Does anyone know the number of the colour of yellow, orange, blue, and green Koigu on the cover? I love the colours but I'

Sock 3 of 8

I finished this tonight: It's the first sock for my father-in-law, made in KnitPicks Sock Landscape in Yukon. The yarn thickness is a little more inconsistent than the New England Foliage, and it's odd how the light blue stays on one side of the sock. The

One down, seven to go

Finished the first KnitPicks Sock Landscape sock on Sunday with plenty of yarn to spare: It took eight days start to finish and I'm getting 9st per inch on a 2.75mm needle. The yarn is very soft, and the colours look good together. It is somewhat splitty,

Sock yarn swap

I joined the Great Unloved Sock Yarn Swap: You have until Sunday to sign up! Who knows what skeins of hideousness yarn you might get? I think I'm dumping something pink. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought it. Heaven save me from

Deliveries!

The replacement skein of Socks That Rock yarn from The Fold arrived on Thursday, it was a 360yd skein of Jade. Looks good, no knots or problems visible when I was winding it this morning, I'm happy. It's a 360yd skein instead of a 325yd, colour

Call for patterns

What is your favourite sock pattern? The bread-and-butter one you always use and the fancier one for special occasions? Favourite heels and toes? Because I need some help. As soon as the KnitPicks yarn gets here, I'll be starting on my five pair sock marathon. First up is
