Finishing Up

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 16:24:34 +1200

Since I fnished Mum's jersey in early May, I've completed quite a few projects. And not new projects, either (though there certainly some of those), but some that had been sitting around, neglected, for quite a while! To the left here you'll see ...

Works In Progress

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 12:12:58 +1300

I haven't really done a lot of knitting lately; I've been quite tired and tending to spend any spare time working or reading. Still, I have made some progress, clearing out a few old projects that were hanging around. A pair of mohair socks that ...

Sisterly Socks

It didn't take too long to finish off the first sock, and I was well past the heel before I went to bed last night. A few more rows after work today before finishing with a very simple suspended cast-off, and they're done! When I made similar soc...

Pink In Progress

Having started, and restarted my eldest sister's birthday gift a few times, I've finally decided that she will be getting socks (whether or not she needs thick and cosy bed socks in Perth is not to be asked), and a few other treats! I started thi...

Finished: Red Garter Rib

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 19:40:24 +1200

Well, it didn't take too long to finish off the 39 pattern repeats, and 16 rows of ribbing past the heel! I now have a very comfortable pair of red garter rib socks, which I will no dobut wear to death. With the better part of one ball (the third...

Red Garter Rib Socks

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 17:11:59 +1200

I love red. Red shoes, red lingerie, and of course, red socks. Since I spotted the yarn a while back, I've been picturing myself is these warm socks, just the right length to wear with my boots (and satisfy my red fetish somewhat privately). Now,...

Completed: Soft Blue Cables

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 16:21:36 +1200

I've been very slack about updating lately (and I'm sure those that know me are not at all surprised). I've been busy with various things, including work, a recovering kitty cat, and a last minute visit to my parents. While I was away, I wore th...

Soft Blue Cables

I really am terrible. I have once again set aside King Charles for another project. It's just that this 10 ply Naturally Sensation merino and angora blend has been calling to me since I picked it up half price from the basket outside Wild & Wooly...

Socks of Green Cables

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Thu, 17 May 2007 10:00:59 +1200

These socks are for my Mum's birthday (next week) and are now in the post (and thus able to be revealed to the world). I got the idea for a simple sock with a cable down each side of the leg from this Debbie Bliss book I borrowed from the library...

New Project: King Charles Brocade

nobody@vox.com(Sarah) — Tue, 08 May 2007 17:11:15 +1200

Now that More Sensational Knitted Socks has arrived, I've started on something a little more taxing than my last quickly knit pair. Started twice, actually. My first choice of yarn was a solid brown, unknown yarn liberated from my Mum's stash. A...
