At the knit-in at Yarns R Us last week, Kim noticed I was working on yet another pair of 2-at-a-time socks and asked if I’d like to teach a class on knitting 2-at-a-time, toe-up — since there are some people who are interested in learning that. So, my answer was maybe/probably/will think about it. Shortly [...]

More stealthy birthday knitting.

Finished up a second birthday present for Mom, another pair of footies.
This is only the second pair of footies I’ve made out of Cascade Fixation (cotton/elastic), but both times I enjoyed it so much that I now have 3 or 4 more balls of it in the yarn stash. Plus enough Fixation for another pair [...]

Just when I thought maybe I was done knitting Fla-Vor-Ice Cozies, my coworker Brian returned from vacation and witnessed Rose and I using ours. Of course, his preschool-aged daughter has the same intolerance for cold hands while enjoying a frozen treat… so I said I would make one for her. I am pleased to present [...]

After two months + one day, I have finally finished the Baby Fern-Rib Anklets aka Anklets for Meeeee!
(Click photo to see it larger)
I’m really happy with the way they turned out, and I did manage to get both anklets out of one ball of Patons Stretch Socks. I did end up making the second sock [...]
Something for the hands, something for the feet. Both using sock yarn.

My friend Diane was due to return to the office from her business trip today, so I figured I’d better have her Fla-Vor-Ice cozy ready for her…
So I started it around 9 PM last night, worked on it for about 30 minutes or so, then finished it in another 45 minutes or so this morning [...]
Filling a major (ahem) knitting void: the Fla-Vor-Ice Cozy
Posted in 2008 Finished Objects, tagged cozy, easily amused, fla-vor-ice, humor, joke, sleeve, stashbuster, time-suck on August 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
So, this started out as a joke — but it has filled a very real (albeit insignificant in the grand scheme of things) need at the office.
Yes, it’s a Fla-Vor-Ice Cozy.
Of course, I think it’s absolutely hilarious, in my own warped sense of humor. Realistically, it may be more of a “had to be there” [...]
