Let’s see, 6 squares…that means I have one side of the bag already done!

While I don’t think I’ll manage the other 6 squares and the bottom/sides, in 2 days, I think it’ll be damn quick. Which means…
Miss “I […]

Ever feel like you’re going in circles?

Yeah. Me too. Not a square yet.

Still not square.

Closer. Need one more straight edge, though…

What have we here? Could it be a straight edge?

And another?

And yet another?

And still one more?

Well, slap me silly and bronze my hook.
I would say that looks like a square, […]

No, not THAT “C” word.
THIS “C” word:

Crochet!
Yes, you’re seeing correctly. I’ve crocheted (or started/tried depending on your definition of crocheted). No, I haven’t fallen ill. And no, I’m not on drugs (prescription or otherwise).

Because it seems to be missing. I speculated yesterday that my mojo may have taken off for cooler surroundings. I think I may have hit the nail on the head.
It’s been so damn hot in my house that I can’t stand to knit more than a round or so at any given sitting. […]

Not this kind of California Roll:

THIS kind of California Roll:

California Roll(ing), Bolton style.
Luckily, Officer number 616 of the Bolton PD was extremely nice, extremely polite, and did not, most importantly, have his jock in a wad this morning. Not only did I roll right through a stop sign in front of him, I had also […]

It’s finally 100% finished.
Humidity plus cotton equals a long slow air drying process. I finally had to point a fan at it or it would still be damp.
It will look adorable on what is potentially a little red-haired baby girl waiting to be born.

Please be advised that you are most certainly not welcome here.
Your wanton ways of munching the natural fibers is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.
You weren’t happy with the shopping bag full of KnitPicks that was on the back porch.
You had to gnaw your way into the bag of 220, Aurora, Eco-Wool, and Alpaca.
And, […]

I’m still knitting socks, and I’m still “officially” part of the Summer of Socks KAL.
But not really.
I guess all the rules and requirements for the contests simply aren’t my ball of yarn.
I did finish a pair of socks, though:

Pattern: None. Basic sock recipe with some minimal leg shaping
Yarn: Scarlet […]
