Blog gripes

First and foremost, I want to apologize to anyone who had to sign up for a Vox account in order to post a comment on my blog. My blog was originally on Livejournal, then I moved it over to Vox without really researching it much, and I didn't reali...

The Never-Ending Socks

nobody@vox.com(Sayllama) — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 18:48:00 -0800

I had one goal for this weekend: finish my husband's socks because I am really sick of knitting them and I want my sock-plate clear for when I start the Rockin' Sock Club. (Sock plate.... ewww) But....... That's right, I ran out of yarn. I can't...

Every other Tuesday morning, my LYS has a thing called "Breakfast Club" where, for $5, you can come in a couple hours before the store opens to knit and enjoy good company, coffee and bagels. It's sort of become one of the highlights of my, well, ...

Sock Bug

nobody@vox.com(Sayllama) — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:21:36 -0800

Ok, well, remember how I swore off socks some months ago? Well, I have officially flip-flopped. In fact, I have worse than flip-flopped. I have caught the sock bug... bad. All I want to do is knit socks. I've lost interest in all my non-socks proj...

Crafting Guilt...

nobody@vox.com(Sayllama) — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 16:32:42 -0800

I was getting ready, late last night, to prep some stuff for shipping before Christmas - namely the three market bags I crocheted for my aunts in Pennsylvania. But I couldn't do it. I just could. not. do. it. The reason? One of the market bags I ...

Finishing what I've started

nobody@vox.com(Sayllama) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 19:06:09 -0800

I have a short attention span. I think I have more projects in-progress than I do actual completed projects. The projects that I have completed tend to be one-shape deals. A scarf, a baby blanket, a coffee cup cozy. As soon as extra elements such ...

Long Time, No Blog

nobody@vox.com(Sayllama) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 17:44:20 -0700

I am a very bad blogger. I just realized that I haven't updated this blog since February! Well, despite the fact that I haven't been blogging I have, at least, been continuing to work on projects. I admit my 2-socks-on-one-circular-needle experim...

Well, I still haven't started on any socks with the nice koigu I bought, but I am making some tiny practice socks with some cheap acrylic yarn using the book, "2-at-a-time Socks", which teaches the mystery that is 2 socks simultaneously one ONE ci...

Getting Projects Done...

nobody@vox.com(Sayllama) — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 19:19:36 -0800

Well, I haven't fulfilled my sock itch yet, but I did buy some lovely orange Koigu yarn that is destined to become biking socks! For some reason, I feel a little reluctant to actually cast on. I always feel a little intimidated casting on for a ne...
