Friday, January 9, 2015. Still Knitting France Socks 2014. Yes, I'm still knitting them. I left off when it was time to weave the toe (Kitchener Stitch) on the first sock. I found the darning needles, but by that time I wanted to bake a cake and some cookies. Now I'm back to knitting. I finished the first sock and am at the heel of the second. Yes, it's an anklet. The pattern I'm using is the first sock pattern I ever used. It's from Learn to Knit Socks. I know I don't like to knit socks toe up! So many ...

Voila! The rice cooker, my new love. When I Googled "oatmeal cooker" and was led to rice cookers I went to Amazon.com where I also found this book:. I bought it as a Valentine's Day gift to myself, My Funny Valentine. A...

Knitting to unwind in Tokyo. Charity knit: Girl Friday sweater for a Vietnamese child. September 9, 2011. The intense humidity has finally lifted, and it finally feels like early fall in Tokyo.
