I’ve managed to finish a pair of socks for a co-worker who’s moving to Colorado. I didn’t know they would be for her at the time that I started them, but shortly thereafter we had a conversation about handknit socks. She’s originally from Lithuania, and grew up recieving a pair yearly from her mother in [...]

I’m finding that I really like the sturdy sock yarns for wearing. I spent 2 years in Germany, and for durability, there’s nothing like German yarn. I am trying the Regia Cotton with my Madder Ribbed Socks for the first time, and I love it. It’s slightly plumper than the Regia 4-fadig that I have [...]

I love Nancy Bush’s books. Her socks always come out wonderfully, and now she has her lace book also. I’ve decided to try to finish one project per month from her books. This will give me the opportunity to learn different sock constructions, as well as allow me to work on lace projects that I [...]

I managed to finish 4 1/2 socks during Summer of Socks 2008. The last pair will be posted later when I’ve finished both socks. Not so bad, really, when you consider that I was not monogamous during this time. I worked on my sister’s Tilted Duster during Ravelympics (the main reason I didn’t get pair [...]

Well, for me it’s all about 3 things:
1. Lace: I joined the summer of lace and started a few projects. I’ve got the Bird’s Nest Shawl from Piecework magazine in the works with some stash yarn, the Goddessknits Anniversary Shawl going in some white Zephyr laceweight, and I am about to cast on the [...]

Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug
Needles: 2.5mm metal DPNs
Started: Way back in October, I think
Finished: 12 April 2008
I managed to get service today, so I’m going to quickly post these finished Colinette Jitterbug socks. I have to admit, it’s really nice yarn. Very similar to STR. The problem is, I must have gotten [...]

Well, I’ve been planning to post for about a week now. I finished my most recent Shetland Triangle Shawl a week ago, as well as my Jitterbug socks and the March block for the Stitch DC blanket club. The problem is, I can’t get the photos loaded. My computer doesn’t like the sD card on [...]
Is Socks That Rock really Superwash?

Unfortunately, I learned the answer to this question last night due to inattention. I knew that my socks were in the wash. I put them in, inside out, just for the wash part of the laundry thing. My mistake was in forgetting they were in there. Duh, what was I [...]

I’ve managed to get a couple of things finished around here. The Ribby Cardi was finished last weekend and worn this week. I’ve got to get a good photo taken and then I will share more. I also managed to finish my brother’s socks, made using the Monsoon Colorway of the Rockin’ [...]
Done! Flower Power Socks
Posted by: Ebony on: September 10, 2007
I managed to get the pair done, kitchenering (is that a word?) the toes tonight. Unfortunately for my little cousin, her feet are not so little! Her shoe size matches her age, apparently, at a size 10. That means that these will be going to some other lucky person when I [...]
