Happy Wednesday all, and a belated happy Memorial Day to those in the US. I hope it was suitably barbecue-filled (mine wasn’t; we flea bombed the house so I had to be out of the house all day and went to the movies with my sister. But I digress). Anyway, so I drove all the [...]

Yay, I finished my first socks for my outstanding sock trades! Pattern: Skew Socks Yarn: Regia Nation Colors Needles: US 1 Mods: None! So… I am disappointed these socks are not for me.

For Ongoing Wish Swap! I love that swap, guys. Anyway, I claimed lindyv321 for an address book, some inchies, and a wisty surprise. The wisty surprise didn’t really work out, but the address book is really cool (and probably took over two hours anyway). First, the inchies: I’m quite proud of these, actually. They’re very [...]

So… I made another OWS claim recently. I claimed Faux_Valentine for some monster-themed goodies and a wisty surprise. For the monsters, I made another monster chunk: out of Sugar and Cream and Serendipity Tweed. I also made an iPod cozy: out of Wool-Ease and some nylon Fun Fur I had around. Cute, right? I like [...]
