Knitting with Fire: How to Knit Argyle Socks in the Round
http://knittingwithfire.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-knit-argyle-socks-in-round.html
Friday, September 13, 2013. How to Knit Argyle Socks in the Round. Want the pattern for the socks pictured here? Click here to purchase*. Traditionally, the leg of an argyle sock is knit flat. Once the leg has been knit it is seamed up the back, and the rest of the sock is knit in the round. This is fine for the un-ambitious. Personally, I prefer to knit anything I can in one piece. I’ve played with a few different ways to knit argyle in the round over the years. That’s what I’m sharing here. To figure o...

Knitting with Fire: August 2014
http://knittingwithfire.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 24, 2014. Whole Wheat Sourdough Bread. Inspired by Michael Pollen's book Cooked. And several Science Friday guests, I started experimenting with whole wheat sourdough bread about a year ago. I've played around with the recipe, and now that I have something that I like, and that gives me consistent results, I'm sharing it here. Get the starter out of the fridge at least 2 feedings before you plan to mix your dough. Pour off the layer of alcohol on top (this is normal) and then feed with:.

Tuesday, August 06, 2013. The Year of the Snake. 2013 is the year of the snake. I celebrated back in January with my fiber pals at Raveloe. We dyed long thin sock blanks to look like snakes. Everyone had their choice of what to do next. I unravelled mine and knit socks as intended. I am one of the lucky few people who have a reaction to their bites. Not terrible, but my hands puffed up for a day, and that snake was set into the flower bed less gently and from a greater distance than the others. Buffalo G...

Knitting with Fire: June 2012
http://knittingwithfire.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Here I am at the farmhouse working at the festival. I found a new "local" fiber I've never spun before. It has spun up fairly soft and looks like it will bloom into a bit of a halo. Any guesses as to what it is? Please guess in the comments. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Since Chris and Erica are always working on something, it seems like a good theme for Knitting with Fire would be to talk about current projects. We'll see where it goes. Podcasts Worth a Listen.

Knitting with Fire: February 2013
http://knittingwithfire.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 16, 2013. A Good Day to Dye. I haven’t done any dyeing at home since before getting married. Once I was married, it seemed unfair to ask the other two members of the family not to eat any food in the kitchen all day because it would be contaminated by my dye. There is an extra stove in my basement, waiting to become a dye stove, but so far no one with the know-how has had time to install a 220 line and hook it up. Lately, I’ve gotten really antsy about waiting. I need to dye more often!

Sunday, May 20, 2012. The wise are not wise because they make no mistakes. They are wise because they correct their mistakes as soon as they recognize them. From Xenocide, by Orson Scott Card. This is the inside of each button band- buttons on the right and holes on the left. I used a wide (about 7/8") grosgrain behind the buttons, then removed them and re-stitched them going all the way through the sweater and the grosgrain. I used 2 narrow bands (1/4-3/8") on the buttonhole side running down ei...Miss ...
