The plan was to knit 12 pairs of socks in 2009, averaging out to 1 pair of socks for each month. Did it happen? Clearly not. I didn’t even get halfway to my goal, with only 5.25 pairs of socks knit by 11:59pm on December 31. But, I’m still going to declare myself a winner [...]

Not knitting, not spinning, but playing Dragon Age on the Xbox. Although the spinning and knitting is slowly working its way back into my things to do. There’s only so many times I can play through Dragon Age, I suppose. I guess that number might be 5.
I did finally finish my Patchwork yarn earlier this [...]

I’ve been busy. I have three FOs to write about today. First, I think I’ll start with the least recent.

One hand at a time

A pair of toasty, knit back at the beginning of the month and finished during my parents’ visit in the second week of October. These were such a simple, quick knit, and [...]

I think this is one of the fastest sock projects I’ve ever done. I started them on the 20th, pretty much right after finishing the Buckland socks, and I wove my ends in exactly two weeks later. Not bad for socks that are pretty much halfway up my calf.
I used the yarn I spun from [...]

I’m such a bad blogger. I finished these socks weeks ago, and I’ve already worn them, even. And I don’t think I’ve even breathed a word about them.
I used the handspun that I made from the September 2008 Hello Yarn Fiber Club roving, which I blogged about earlier this year. I don’t think there’s much [...]

Whenever I think about the name of this sock pattern, I get that damn song in my head. Yep, I’m getting rick-rolled by a sock.
I decided that I liked the yarn and pattern match enough that I’d continue to knit the socks. Clearly, I’m a little more than halfway done with the first one. Hopefully [...]

I finally finished my knee socks from the Pigeonroof handspun.
Okay, so they don’t quite reach the knees. They’re maybe an inch or two shy of my knees, and I definitely could have made them taller. I just didn’t. I worried about running out of yarn, although I was really nowhere near running out of either [...]

I’m a bit behind on my blogging, but I guess that’s nothing new.
Where we last left off, I was still spinning my Norway (or maybe I had just finished it, hmm) from the Hello Yarn Fiber Club. Anyway, that’s been long done. Even finished with a soak in some hot water. Wow! It’s very soft, [...]

Finished the second sock of my Heras last night. Finally. So, that’s the second sock of my second pair of socks for 2009. Hooray. I’m only about a month behind schedule on knitting 12 pairs of socks in 12 months. So, of course, this is the perfect time for me to start time-consuming knee socks. [...]

It’s amazing! I actually stopped playing Rock Band long enough to finish spinning a yarn! Actually, it kind of helped that I was home sick for three days last week. The first two were spent doing my taxes and sleeping, and I spent most of Friday and Saturday working on this yarn.
As I mentioned in [...]
