Bittersweet Symphony

My two kiddos are headed off to college, a bittersweet time for this  soon to be empty-nester-mom. So proud of all that they have done and all of their accomplishments. They are both such wonderful young people who are kind and caring.  I'm so happy for them but I'm going to miss them dearly.  So,…

Making It Right

 As I was knitting this sock today (and making a lot of progress), I noticed that one stitch had slipped. This probably happened when I put my knitting down; I'm using the Magic Loop Method with a 32 inch long circular needle and, occasionally, I don't slip the stitches back far enough when I stop.…

Sockupied, Part One

Knitty Confessions – #2

Seconds ago, I was making progress on the toe of the sock that I am knitting and then, I got to a part of the yarn that, for lack of a better term, I will call "fragile". You know what I mean, it's a little frayed. Even with the best of yarns, if you knit…

WIP Progress – Socks!

I started these socks, or rather this sock as there is still only one, a while ago. I'm using my own hand dyed yarn for the first time and MadelineTosh sock yarn in Edison Bulb ( I really heart this colorway). Since my own yarn is OOAK and the skein is only about 400 yards,…
