June socks for SAM KAL 3

Hot off my needles, I finally completed my June socks for the SAM KAL.  To be honest, I had started another pair, but one thing led to another to another and here I was in the last week of the month and no completed socks.  So I decided footies fit the bill, and away I [...]

Black Sheep Haul - Absolutely NO Yarn was bought.

I bought NO yarn, none, nadda, zilch, not even 1 measly little skein of sock yarn, so if you’re looking for yarn p0rn, you won’t get any past the first picture, and that is my hand spun.  
Wow, now that it’s all out in the open, I think I got a little carried away, but I had [...]

A couple of weeks ago Diana, one of the Eastside Stitchers, found out about Red Sweaters from her SnB Page a Day Calendar, and sent it out to the group.  At some point in time, it was decided that we would get a ball winder, run over to Joann’s and get a skein of Red [...]

Sweater #6 and a swatch

Pattern: Eris by The Girl From Auntie
Yarn: Cascade Cloud 9 (50% merino/50% Angora)
Needles: Options #4 and 6
This yarn is  a delight to work with, it’s soft, a little on the fuzzy size, but what do you expect, it’s angora.  Splicing this yarn is great, it spit spices wonderfully without any moisture at all.  Do be [...]

Misc Letters

To the driver of the maroon Nissan Sentra on I 405 S, this morning:
Thank you for not hitting me this morning. 
While I realize that you probably have somewhere to go and traffic is not moving to your liking.  I also realize that you simply wanted to cross in front of me to get to the [...]
