I finished Crabby Crawl for Little Miss over the weekend, but I couldn’t resist playing with the pieces before sewing them up.
Creepy, aren’t they? I tried to get a picture of them curling around a door frame, but I couldn’t quite contort myself enough to get a photo of my own hand in that position. [...]

I gave the orange Cascade 220 another shot after I got home from work last night. When I once again found myself short a couple dozen stitches, I finally did the math. Literally. As in, 75-34 does not equal 63. It wasn’t my mistake at all, but an error in the [...]

The new issue of Knitty went up today, and it is full of cute things.
When I say cute, I mean really cute, too. Just look at The Deadliest Crab, who looks awfully cuddly for such a scary, scary name. I’m planning to knit one up for Little Miss just as soon as my orange Cascade [...]

I finished up the first ‘Vog On sock the other night during Palin’s speech. Yes, in this house, we watch both party conventions, although our politics are firmly left of center.
That picot bind-off gave me something else to focus on, at least. I’m not in love with the way it folds down at the top, [...]

It seems that y’all need a little time to ponder the Wollmeise project. I understand. I feel the same way. But I think it’s going to be the Estonian socks. Unless I cave and buy a copy of Ornette, but I think that one might look better in a solid color.
In the meantime, I started [...]
