You know, I never had the urge to knit an Irish Hiking Scarf, until two nights ago. When I happened to scrounge through my stash and the handspun was calling to me, “Make me into the Irish Hiking Scarf.” I couldn’t well ignore that call, after all when the yarn tells you what [...]

Today is my mom’s birthday. I have some lovely gifts for her, but I can’t show them on the blog because I won’t be able to give them to her today. I’ll give you a hint though, they’ve already been featured on the blog, I just didn’t indicate who was receiving them.
I might [...]

I have managed in the last few days since I cast off the Lichen Ribbed Socks to NOT KNIT SOCKS. Shocking, is it not? The Knitter Bunny, ever with her socks in hand, intrepidly knitting through rain and sleet and snow and snow and snow and snow and . . . erm, ahem, is not knitting [...]

I give up. Bring on the snow. Snow me in. Then I can knit without guilt for a few days. If the sky would just stop spitting out 3-4 inches of snow every two to four days. . . I can take it no longer. I even think that I’m [...]

There are few things in this life that cause the Sock Hunter’s heart to pitter patter harder than a pair of socks. When those socks are not only handsome, but practical socks, my heart beats even harder. Lovely, elegant, practical, and *well-bred; some socks are the epitome of good taste in socks.
Rarely do [...]

Intrepid sock hunters will understand the advantages of using snow as a cover. Much like a polar bear, the right reflectant suit can make you invisible in the shimmer of a snowy day, and snow has been thick in my part of the world these last few years months weeks days. So, donning [...]

Ok. Snow is not so bad in and of itself. I even like to have a little snow. I mean winter is not winter without snow. I think it can be pretty and it’s nice to be snowed in a day or two throughout the winter. I like making a snowman or two and watching [...]

What can I say? I’m rather addicted to Etsy. I’ve been trying not to tout the loveliness that is handmade items, surely there are enough people doing so already, but I can help myself no longer.
I bought this (which I’ve been wearing about 4/7 days a week):
and this (which is coming in the mail this [...]

Day 7: I have been on the trail of a very odd pair of socks for some time now. The signs point to . . .well. . . socks that really should not appear in this part of the world. I’m not sure whether to believe my eyes or look into corrective [...]

I am feeling much better, but still taking it easy. I don’t want to over do anything. Thanks for all of the well wishes too. It’s strange to be sick and yet not sick.
I had to watch the Jane Austen Book Club again too. One of the characters is knitting and there are [...]
