Socks, socks, everywhere.

May 2, 2008 by Amy

Concluding the short parade of sweet little girl knits, I finished the baby beret/socks set for my colorist’s new little girl recently. I’ll do a separate FO post to keep my notes in one place, but I had to tell you about the way these little socks are constructed. Strangest.…

Out of the bag

April 28, 2008 by Amy

I still feel like I’m so behind, but now that our houseguests are gone and Passover is over and there’s no business travel on the horizon, I should be able to catch up! …at least until we move (in mid-to-late June). Riiiight. Anyway, some of the secret knitting has been…

Young and old FO

April 23, 2008 by Amy

Well, am I behind. Ahem. Pattern: The Cable Tank Top by Debbie Bliss, from the Baby Cashmerino 3 pamphlet Yarn: Baby Cashmerino, 2 balls indigo and 1 ball cream for the smallest size Time Elapsed: Around a week? Each of the main pieces took only a day to knit. Notes/Modifications:…

Coffee talk

April 14, 2008 by Amy

Yeah, yeah, there’s another FO to share, but hasn’t it been awhile since we just chatted? Life has sure been busy, and it seems like I have lots to tell you. First of all, the wee beastie is doing just fine. Unfortunately, the swelling that plagued me for so much…

FO: Matinee Coat

April 11, 2008 by Amy

I have some secret knitting going on right now, but lucky for me I’ve also got a small backlog of FOs to share with you. In the “It’s kind of cruel that a knitter should have two boys” department, I present the matinee coat: Pattern: Debbie Bliss’ Matinee Coat, from…

FO: St. Anastasia?

April 7, 2008 by Amy

Though the blog posting is very late, my March installment of the year of socks was done pretty much on time. Pattern: Anastasia socks, from the incomparable MintyFresh Yarn: Sunshine Soft Sock Yarn, in colorway “Emerald Isle” Time Elapsed: A couple of weeks, including a major rip-out. Pregnancy brain strikes–these…

Drive-by posting

March 30, 2008 by Amy

Business and super-secret life planning are likely to keep me super-busy for the next week, so please forgive me until I can sit in front of the computer for more than 10 minutes. But until then: Something just needs a ribbon, and the postman is currently my favorite stranger, and…

Excuse me while I continue my cast-on rampage.

March 21, 2008 by Amy

Usually I like to finish one thing before starting another. Not true at the moment, apparently. Exhibit A: Anastasia socks in Sunshine Yarns, “Emerald Isle”, cast on for St. Patty’s Day. These will be my March socks. They are wicked fun to knit, and toe-up gussets are the coolest things…

Seasonal FO

March 14, 2008 by Amy

It’s not the right season, necessarily… but Jacob is more than pleased with the latest sock addition, anyway. (I think he likes socks that match his hair the best of all.) Pattern: Conwy from Nancy Bush’s “Knitting on the Road” Yarn: Sundara sock yarn, color “Bronzed Sienna” Time Elapsed: A…

Babies, babies, everywhere!

March 7, 2008 by Amy

Thank you all so, so very much for your well-wishes and shared stories. They really warmed my heart. I did something totally crazy yesterday: I ripped out the Torgeir sweater I was having so much trouble with. The Silky Wool is now back in the closet, and I feel so…
