…and I’m making snowflakes. It’s Wednesday already, but yes, I have been working on snowflake-related items all week. I finished one thread snowflake and got fairly far on my stranded snowflake project, but I decided it was too large and frogged it. Other than that, no fiber manipulations of any sort. I’ve been suffering from [...]

Comments(0) That’s most of this week’s stash enhancement. Uhm. I think we might have a problem here. This is serious binging. On the left, we have a whole lot of sock yarn (with more on the way). 8oz of Interlacements Toasty Toes in #221, 4oz of Schaefer Yarns Anne, some Cherry Tree Hill Supersock Merino in [...]

I frogged four times — each time I got further before I messed it up, so I did feel like I was making progress. Tonight I ripped it back again, and started anew. I got it this time! Remind [...]

In five months, there will be other cool sock yarn! In case you’re wondering, the Opal Rainforest Collection [...]

I pick up my bottle of Gatorade and take a swig. I put it down. A couple of minutes later, I finish reading a thread at Crochetville and look down and [...]
Read More..>> Comments(0) Excuse the lack of fiber crafting — I’m not thinking much about fibery pursuits today. I’m worried about my pets. Ginger is being spayed today and will be staying at the vet overnight. I don’t think I will be okay with that until she’s back at home licking me tomorrow. Claw is sick and we [...]

Read More..>> Comments(0) Klaralund. Still working on Klara. The neverending sleeve is … never. ending. 27″ long sleeve! I only have 6″ left on it to go. Then I can cast on for the front (or back)!
