When I first heard football was coming back to Los Angeles, I was excited. We haven’t had a local football team to the LA area for a good couple decades. As a Chargers fan living in the southern part of Orange County, I could easily go to games but I know that my northern county […]
Football season is upon us! I can’t even tell you how happy this makes me. You know how some women might complain they become football widows in the fall? Well, that’s reversed in my house. I’m the one that insists on the TV being all football, all the time, on Thursday nights, Sundays, and Monday […]
My day job is taking up a lot of my time right now, so I haven’t actually been able to knit very much. As such, today’s sock progress update would have been sadly short on progress. Instead, I thought I would take the time to sketch out my basic sock recipe I use. DPNs, Magic […]
I’ve had quite a bit of time to knit this week, so I have made excellent progress on some socks. The first project has been posted on the blog before, but I have a finished sock and have a fairly good start on the second one now. This is the TurtlePurl Yarns Striped Turtle Toes […]
I imagine if I just worked on one project at a time, I would make more progress on my projects. But that’s not how I work, so here is an update on the same socks you saw last time I had a sock post, plus another pair also previously mentioned. First up is the Baby […]
The current sock project is one of the skeins I picked up from Biscotte Yarns a couple weeks ago. I am using the Bis-Sock base in the Baby Wale colorway, and am knitting a plain vanilla toe-up sock with a Fish Lips Kiss heel. Other than the fact that the missing “h” in whale really […]
Sock one is almost done! I just need to add 15 rows of 1×1 ribbing in the contrast color, and then it is finished. I was hoping to be done last night, but the sausages went to the vet and we were there much, much longer than anticipated. There is a good chance I will […]
I made really good progress this week on my socks. Credit goes to my super long commute into work and the Metrolink train system that allows me to sit and knit instead of sitting in my car in traffic. With a lot of time to kill came a lot of sock knitting. End of week […]
I adore sock knitting. I am not really sure why this particular item inspires more adoration than say a cowl or a hat, but I am pretty sure you could probably label my sock knitting as an obsession. Maybe it’s because you can make funky socks and hide them under pant legs so no one […]
