Knitting on the Rogue River

A finished pair of socks for Soctoberfest 2006! The cuff is folded down because of the foreshortening caused by the camera angle. These are also part of my Halloween costume for today. I really look like a goof, but what fun. Hope everyone has a safe and fun halloween. I’ve also been busy spinning up [...]

More spinning and dyeing for the De Colores sweater. I dyed four 100 gram pieces of BFL for the sweater on Sunday and now have enough. All that’s left is to spin it up along with the rest of Jordan’s fleece. This is 200 grams of Merino that I’ve had for a few years. Another [...]

I teach sock knitting at the yarn shop in Medford. This time I had an epiphany and didn’t try to have my students knit an adult pair of socks in just three weeks. Instead we knit a very small sock that incorporates all of the parts of a traditional cuff-down sock. It was successful and [...]

I’ve signed up for Socktoberfest 2006 at Lolly’s site. It fits in nicely with Sock Wars and the other pairs of socks I have on the needles right now. Quesitonaire: When did you start making socks? Did you teach yourself or were you taught by a friend or relative? or in a class? I made [...]

Dyed all of this on Sunday. Looks like a circus doesn’t it. What you can’t see is the rest of Jordan’s fleece drying under this kaleidoscope of color. Wonder what this will look like spun up?

Sock Vader, your doom is coming! See how I progress on the socks of your destruction! You cannot escape! You will not escape! Muywahahahahahaha! I can only hope my nemesis, the assassin Grrrl Shaped Thing, is not nearing the completion of my own demise!
