Summer Fun

Posted in Knitting, life, Summer of Socks, tagged on August 11, 2007 | 3 Comments »

Last Sunday, we went to Lake Compounce. It was miserably hot that day, and dreadfully crowded (a surge of humanity). Mostly I stayed with my sister and one or both of the kids on the beach by the lake while my DH and her BF went on roller coaster rides (I’m just not a roller [...]

Making up for Lost Time

Posted in Summer of Socks, tagged on July 22, 2007 | 1 Comment »

Friday was a crazy day. We had a playdate and a friend’s house and by the time I’d gathered everyone up and headed home (at 9:30 pm) I was so strung out that I forgot the knitting project I was working on–the second Jaywalker for my MIL. It’s not like I don’t have any other [...]

At the Pool

Jen of Knitting Sutra recently wrote about a pooling issue she is having with a pair of socks for her MIL. Jen doesn’t like pooling, not even a little, and is having a contest to search for a pool-defying pattern for the offending yarn. Go over and check it out. I’ll wait. You back? Anyway, [...]

Houston, we have a problem

Posted in Knitting, Summer of Socks on July 10, 2007 | 4 Comments »

I took yesterday off from knitting my Summer of Socks socks and instead read a fun Carl Hiaasen book. (Actually, I was already about halfway through the book, so I only read 1/2 the book yesterday.) I recommend anything by Hiaasen if you are in the mood for some fun, well-written light reading that does [...]

SoS Progress

I’ve spent most of the week so far recovering from the flu and working on socks for the Summer of Socks. On Tuesday, we went over to the mall parking lot to hang out and wait for the fireworks show to start. (It’s like a huge tailgate party.) I sat with my sister and Ezra [...]

Finished a Pair!

I finished my first pair of socks for the Summer of Socks yesterday.Cute, huh? These are plain vanilla baby socks in Artyarns supermerino with a size 3 needle. I am particularly proud of these socks. See those heels? I turned them all by myself–without referring to a book or a pattern or any kind of [...]

OMG

Posted in ravelry, Summer of Socks, tagged on June 24, 2007 | 4 Comments »

Ravelry is probably the best thing to happen to the knitting (and crochet) community since the invention of the blog. Talk about making the world bigger! Not only can you keep a notebook of your entire knitting (or crochet) life–including what’s in your stash, what needles (or hooks) you have, what you’re knitting right now, [...]

Summer of Socks

Posted in Knitting, Summer of Socks, tagged on June 21, 2007 | 2 Comments »

Hooray! The Summer of Socks has begun! Last night, I was thinking that I would have to go out and get some sock yarn (darn) because the Monkeys do not count since I have been working on them for a while. So, I started rooting around in my stash to see what I had in [...]
