I do have progress to report with a couple of things. My razor cami is coming along nicely. I’ve got about 6 inches before I divide for the armholes.
I’m also using my STR yarn for a different pair of socks than the pattern that came with it (I couldn’t master the toe-up). These socks are [...]

I got my last parcel from my Sockret Pal last week. I’ve been sick so I haven’t had a chance to blog about it until now. But anyway, my wonderful pal was Shelly. This last package was just what I needed to cheer me up. Look at all the goodies!
In the box:
2 photo frames
1 pair [...]

I originally intended to make the Chevron Scarf from Last-Minute Knitted Gifts for my ISE (international scarf exchange) pal. It was taking too long and I wasn’t really liking it…so I frogged it. Now, having visited Good to be Girl’s blog, which directed me to this Flickr group and now I’m re-inspired. I have some [...]

Although I didn’t have a totally free Spring break, I did manage to get some knitting done. I finished my Sockret Pal’s socks, so they will be on the way soon.
And I made progress on my Razor Cami. Unfortunately because I just realized I am using the wrong kind of Sirdar yarn than called for [...]

The new Knitty is up. Unfortunately nothing really jumps out at me as a must-knit. I’m leaning towards the Isabella, but that’s it. And it doesn’t give a back view of this, which I always like to see.

I joined the Stash-a-long so I would actually use the yarn in my stash and now it’s time for me to go on another kind of diet for my other passion - BOOKS. I have accumulated quite a few books that have not been read yet and I keep buying more! So, I am going [...]

I was browsing Etsy the other day looking for stuff to buy for my Sockret Pal (and I found a couple of good things too!), but I was surprised by one thing I saw. Someone, and I won’t point out who exactly, was selling a hand-knit item that definitely came out of book I have. [...]

The long-awaited socks…unfortunately there is a big difference!
Somehow (and I still don’t remember how) one heel is ribbed and the other isn’t! I don’t even remember doing it.
Pattern: Jaywalker
Started: So long ago I can’t remember!
Finished: March 5, 2007
Recipient: My Sockret Pal.
Notes: As mentioned above, there is an obvious difference in the heels, but my pal [...]

Spoiler Alert: If you still haven’t gotten your STR package, well, I feel sorry for you. Anyway, if you don’t want to see the colorway don’t read the post.
I finally got my STR package. From reading the STR blog I figure they send it out alphabetically, which is why I’m so far down on the [...]

First, I didn’t get that snow day I was hoping for. I’m on Spring Break so I have a couple of days to get some knitting in. I’m almost done with my Jaywalker socks.
I decided to knit them both at the same time, working on one part then moving to the next one. [...]
