(Forget about borrowed and blue, it’s not that sort of post.)
Well, my “something old” for today is the Sweater Sampler (Ravelry link there, login required) I made somewhere around 2004 (I’m guessing at the date a bit, based on the email receipts from when I bought The Sweater Workshop by Jacqueline Fee and the needles [...]

How, you ask? Well, simply knitting two socks at the same time on one needle is apparently all it takes. Yup, my co-workers now think I am a complete crackpot after I whipped these puppies out at lunchtime on Thursday. (They only thought I was a partial crackpot before that.)

Well, the first Summer 2008 Sock is finished. Considering I started the first sock over a 3-day weekend and it took me until this past Friday to finish, and I only just finished the toe increases on the second sock a few minutes ago, I’m not confident that I’ll have this pair done in time [...]

OK, so I only have three WIP at the moment… which is like nothing for many knitters, but for me it’s a lot. I’ve never had more than two WIP at a time.
The Anklets for Meeeee! are still hanging out in my knitting bag, getting a little attention for a pattern repeat or two each [...]

How could I possibly do Summer of Socks and not knit Wendy Johnson’s Summer 2008 Sock pattern, created specifically for Summer of Socks? Of course, I couldn’t not knit it!
So here’s the first one in progress. Not only is this a very, very stretchy lace pattern, I’m using Paton’s Stretch Socks, which makes it even [...]

I’m hoping I can keep up this pace so I have at least one pair to enter in each biweekly raffle… but we’ll see. Life could get in the way! (It always does.)
So the first pair of socks is done. For those on Ravelry, you can visit my project page for details and more photos. [...]
