Quick update #3:
I’m about yarn shopped out. I know, it’s sacriledge. But after going to 4 LYSs and only wanting to actually buy anything at one, I’m not sure I want to bother to try any more. And I haven’t even hit VA yet!
Yesterday we took a quick trip to Bethesda (I swear there […]
Quick update #2:
I’m still in Maryland. We just missed being evacuated because of the local dam and all the flooding recently. Hopefully the rain has subsided for awhile.
Today I took OR for a trip to Frederick, MD. I found out on our trip back from NYC that there are Waffle Houses farther North than I […]
Quick update … Since I arrived in New York last Saturday night (and drove down to Maryland) I finished two socks (to be fair, I only had to kitchener one of them) and have been working on two others. I’m on the second sock of one and first of another (my red Kool-Ade sock yarn). […]
I’m already sick of socks. I tried to start a new project that I could bring with me to the East Coast but I don’t feel like starting a project that I have to follow (and get gauge for) and my lame attempts at designing a new amazing tank top failed miserably.
So I am […]
Yet another swap questionnaire (hope you’re not bored with the word “red” yet …)
What are your favorite colors? Red! I also like black and grey and pink but not pastels.
Are you a new sock knitter? How long have you been knitting socks? I started socks about 3 years ago when I marveled at my friend’s […]
It’s basically all untangled (this is most of it):
It’s still pretty curly, but I’m going to try to knit with it since I hate giving up on nice yarn and I like the color. I’d cast on for some socks but I can’t find any size 1s that aren’t already being used!
And I’m stressing still […]
Today is my lucky day!
First, I did as you know have problems with my SuperSock yarn. Sheila from Wool2Dye4 read my post and offered to send me a new skein of the SuperSock and the Henry’s Attic that I had ordered before, which she did today:
More yarn to play around with! I may have had […]
I’m so sorry!
I really want to respond to all your comments and totally appreciate them, but I’m so stressed out! I’ve never travelled with three kids before and this weekend I’m taking them to NYC to see my grandfather (they’ve all met him, but separately and as babies — in Vegas, of all places!). Can […]
I am definitely getting tired of untangling yarn. I will definitely take Susie’s suggestion and tie the yarn in many places next time. It does, however, keep you on the treadmill longer if you’re getting somewhere. This morning I got 45 min. out of this Blue Jean yarn:
I think it reminds me of the ’80s […]
Look what I’m baking now!

I did get some burnt wool (oops) but hopefully it will turn out okay.
So I soaked my Wool2Dye4 SuperSock overnight. Today it looked just the same as yesterday. I’m not sure when this miraculous uncurling is supposed to happen, but I’m doubtful. I used lots of Kool-Ade (but not my […]
