I got back from San Diego today – my flight was delayed, so instead of coming in late last night, I arrived this morning. So, the San Diego trip photos will have to wait (which include finished socks!) but luckily, I had uploaded the picture for Sizzle before I left. Pattern: Sizzle Designer: Wendy Bernard [...]

Okay, this is the last you’ll hear of Sizzle for a while – I really am going to wait to post FO pictures until I get back from San Diego on the 28th. I took the wussy way out for blocking. I just sprayed it wet, instead of dunking it. I did wash my swatch, [...]

So, I have this rule where I only have one project of each type on the needles. For instance, one shawl, one pair of socks, one top, one accessory item, etc. I’m planning on breaking that sock rule (I’m going to be knitting a friend a pair, and I have to make use of try-on [...]
