Knitting
Most photographed on vacation in July, here are my Sock Monkey socks! Yarn: HaldeCraft HandDyed in “Sock Monkey” Pattern: a toe-up Old Shale pattern that I swear I’ll write up some day.
Yarn: Lisa Souza Sock! in “Berry Poppins,” which Becca gave to me for my birthday an embarrassingly long time ago! Pattern: Cast on about 120. Knit in a tube until you’re worried you’re going to run out. Bind off. Notes: I started this while on vacation, in case we did any nighttime driving that I [...]

This is not currently available on my [...]
Yarn: Jaeger Pure Cotton, sent to me a couple of years ago by my lovely friend Karen. Thank you, dear! I love, love, love this yarn, just like you knew I would! Pattern: Buttercup by Heidi Kirrmaier Notes: Knitted primarily on Sunday evenings while watching Game of Thrones. Hence, the name mashup.
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport in “Tuscany” Pattern: Standard toe-up, made up as I went along
Recently I bought some software to help me with writing knitting patterns (Intwined Pattern Studio) and in addition to charting out a few new patterns, I’m also using it to revisit and spruce up some of my older, free (and most popular) patterns. The second one that I retooled is June is for Jag; it [...]
