I am a terrible blogger. Three months between updates is terrible, especially when the goal here is to keep track of my projects so that I remember what I’ve done, how, and to some extent, why. I’m going to try to play catch up here, just to get things back on track.
I finished Simple Things. [...]

I finished the Patchwork socks a while ago. According to Ravelry, on January 27th. I’m just really, really forgetful when it comes to taking pictures and even more forgetful when it comes to blogging. They’re nice socks, though, and I’m wearing them for the first time today.
And I can’t believe that even though the sock [...]

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 has a hat.
I used the Thrive handspun from the Hello Yarn Fiber Club February 2009 roving. The pattern is Felicity [rav link]. It was a surprisingly quick knit. I went to the Sow’s Ear on Friday to get my needles because every pattern I was looking at last week needed 16 inch needles in [...]

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 [...]
