capped off
Posted by: Sarah on: December 17, 2007
The Capt’n asked that, maybe, if I could get around to it, could I possibly knit him a hat? For Christmas?
Well, that was a big ol’ “heck, yeah.”
I dug out a skein of Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk out of the stash basket last night and went to town. It knit up fast — I [...]

I have ordered yarn off the intarwebs. I have become one of those people.
It was rationalized thusly:
• I needed it to finish the six socks project
• My local supplier was out
• I honestly wouldn’t have used the left over yarn for this project if I didn’t think I’d had enough in my stash to [...]
my own twist

After finishing off the pair of gloves, I realized two things:
• Oatmeal-colored gloves actually look like carpel tunnel braces;
and
• My hands are friggin’ tiny.
The first one’s pretty self-explanatory. Oatmeal seemed so lovely, so benign at the time. I thought it would [...]

I finished the first of the gloves last night, and I am not at all ashamed to proclaim my love for it, even if I did a slipshod job on creating the thumb. The second one is just past the wrist cables, so I have about a lunch hour and an evening’s worth of Netflixing [...]

Sooooooooooo, I shelved the Six Socks for a few days, and now I’m making gloves. For myself. During this time when I should be focused on the Christmas knitting.
I am an excellent gift-giver, if I do say so myself.
More specifically, I’m making these gloves. Originally, I had spied a pair from “Last Minute Knitted Gifts” [...]
oh, damn it

I just realized (stupidly) that I do not have enough yarn to finish the first pair of the Six Socks.
That ball, and a slightly smaller ball in my knitting bag, is it. Damn it.
Of course, this is hallmark me. I always manage to dip into my stash to start a project without much thought beyond [...]
odds and ends

Ice bat was helping with the first of the Six Socks!, because he’s good like that.
And look, even though I can’t have a lime green workspace in Maine, at least I can have a lime green needle pot.
Baby steps. Baby steps.

I finished the last of the Capt’n’s nerdtastic nerd knitting (knerd?) nerdy birthday present. And I think I’m going to wait and let him post a picture of his Megatron Socks and then swipe it, because I am just that petty, and his photos are better anyway.
But in order to finish the Megatron Socks (to [...]
anna’s socks
Posted by: Sarah on: September 11, 2007
Awesomeness came last week in the form of my co-worker Cheryl, who requested a pair of socks for her two-year-old daughter, Anna. It’s the first time someone’s commissioned a project from me, and I was thrilled to comply.
I ended up modifying the Thuja sock pattern from Knitty for a toddler — because I like to [...]

This is how rockin’, married hipsters spend their weeknights. Or how THIS rockin’ married hipster spends her weeknights: knitting and Star Trek.
The Capt’n long lamented my disinterest in the different franchises — I didn’t moon over the original series, I hadn’t seen any of the movies, I self-identified as a Star Wars girl — [...]
