Pair #7 25 Aug 2013 | 12:07 am
I have *finally* finished pair #7. They're fresh off the needles. This last sock seemed to take forever and ever. I think I'm officially done with Second Sock month. I just don't know that I have ...
Pair #6 20 Aug 2013 | 06:23 am
In keeping with tradition, I'm going to call this post Pair #6 because I did actually finish pair #6. I'm now working on Pair #7, but I've been delayed because I've been plagued by computer woes. Thi...
Pair #5 14 Aug 2013 | 04:53 am
This freeing up the needles thing is good for getting rid of lonely hearts. It's like a yarn smoochathon. It's how I spend my weekends and evenings. After finishing pair #5, I wound up the little rem...
Pair #3 and Pair #4 11 Aug 2013 | 02:20 am
Once I start something, I generally feel as though I have to see it through to completion. Hmmm...that's the complete wrong thing to say when I'm talking about knitting. I have stuff that languish.....
Freeing Up the Needles 5 Aug 2013 | 06:37 pm
Other than casting on a vanilla sock in Canon Hand Dyes Cheshire Cat (William base), I was at a bit of a loss after Tour de Sock finished. I didn't quite know what to do with my knitting self. But C...
Tour de Sockcess 28 Jul 2013 | 10:11 pm
I did it. I'm a little surprised. I knit all 6 pairs of Tour de Socks within the allotted time. Sock 5 cut it close. I finished with about only 9 hours to spare. Sock 5 was Little Deschutes by Kri...

I finished the last toe and wove in the ends of sock 2 of Tour de Sock stage 4 this morning. Good riddance. The yarn is Sokkusu Original in Brighton Rock. The beads are 8/0 Dyna-Mites by Matsuno i....
Third Time Lucky? 2 Jul 2013 | 06:20 am
Stage 4 TdS is my personal bete noire. I had a brilliant idea (or so I thought) when I was doing version 2.0 for the Tour de Sock Stage 4. I wanted to use my It's Not All About Me Brown STR LW. An....
Know When to Fold 'em 1 Jul 2013 | 06:38 am
Stage 4 of Tour de Sock started today. Here are my notes from my Rav project page: It's now 10:19 pm. I have made the executive decision to frog the sock and start again. As Kenny Rogers says, you...
Tour de Sock Stage 3 26 Jun 2013 | 06:58 am
Done. Completed at around 2:00 this morning. The socks are baggy on the blockers but better on the leg. I don't like the intarsia heel. I'll modify in future. Recto: And verso: These are the in...
