inkysticks: new site

http://inkysticks.blogspot.com/2011/04/new-site.html

Tuesday, April 19, 2011. If you've wondered whether I was still around, I'm here to say, yes, I am! I lost my blogging mojo which was created in part by the loss of my knitting mojo. I have way too many WiPs going, very unlike me! But I'm here to announce that if you'd like to continue following my knitting adventures, or misadventures as the case may be! You'll find me over at SheepandInk.com. So, continue to follow me there if you like. I won't be updating over here anymore. View my complete profile.

inkysticks: Frankensocks

http://inkysticks.blogspot.com/2010/10/frankensocks.html

Sunday, October 24, 2010. This month I've been participating in the Frankensocks KAL. On Ravelry. The idea: use up some scrap stash yarn and knit yourself some socks! And, if you're into Mary Shelley, read-along in her Frankenstein. I chose the Hat-heel socks. From the Fall 2009 Knitty since I've been wanting to try this construction out and I figured I could use up quite a few of my leftovers in the process. At first I thought the heel and gusset flaps/hat flaps would look funky in the finished sock, an...

inkysticks: October 2009

http://inkysticks.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Friday, October 2, 2009. I can't believe it, but autumn is finally rolling into SoCal. Or at least it's trying to. The temperatures are starting to drop (hurray! Knitting-wise, about a week or so ago I finished my first toe socks! Toe Socks by Sandi Rosner (with modified toe construction). Four Seasons Grundl Marathon Miro in colorway 607. And see how I like that. I think that picking up and knitting 2sts in the toe gaps rather than casting on four might work better. I'm hoping anyway! Links to this post.

Sunday, January 17, 2010. The long and windy yarn! In my rambly zeal yesterday, I forgot to mention an exciting piece of knitterly news! I am now the proud owner of this:. I am very excited! Links to this post. Saturday, January 16, 2010. Happy New Year (16 days late)! How have you all been? Only I'm working them toe-up and with a short-row heel. KAL Not only that, I've signed up for two teams for Ravelympics next month and I plan on making the Star Crossed Slouchy Beret. The Blooming Cotton Scarf. When ...

Misadventures in Knitting: Halloween

http://theblacksheep-misadventuresinknitting.blogspot.com/2010/10/halloween.html

Things could go right in life, but they so rarely do. So, I go with the flow and laugh at my misadventures as often as possible. Laughing hurts a whole lot less than stabbing yourself in the eye with your knitting needle. I know, I've done both, literally - the latter was unintentional. I'm not a masochist you know. Friday, 29 October 2010. 30 October 2010 at 16:36. Thanks for the info - I guess Halloween is getting all trendy in Paris, but what do they know? 1 November 2010 at 05:28. Half Cable and Lace.

Under The Dresser: September 2010

http://underthedresser.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 21, 2010. I read this book last month and barely remember it. Naughty book blogger. What I can say is that I was impressed and disappointed by this book. The novel follows a variety of people in the same small town, all of which are touched in one way or another - some in larger ways than others - by retired school teacher Olive Kitteridge. Each chapter introduces you to a new person and while some stories connect, most chapters can almost stand alone. Tuesday, September 21, 2010.

Monday, 29 March 2010. The elbow saga continues, so still no knitting. However, I did run across this today: "Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes". By mathematician Daina Taimina.
