Ok, so I did the gauge swatch for my first socks last night and I “cast on” in Ravelry all in an attempt to force myself to get over my irrational sock fear. I need to block my swatch before I measure, but I think I actually did get pretty close to gauge (which [...]

So, I’m catching back up on the Sweater Workshop sweater (aka Ovaltine). I’m almost done with the 2nd front piece. I’ll be adding pics later today. Woot. I won’t be able to do my sleeves until the yarn reinforcements come though so they better hurry since I think I need them [...]

I’ve finished scarf four and five and I’m almost done with six. [...]
Ok, so I just checked my Ravelry status and only around 1700 people ahead of me! So maybe in 3-4 days I’ll have my invite, I’m so excited I can hardly stand it. I cannot believe that there are over 4000 people behind me now too, ravelry fever continues I guess.
So I have finally shaken loose some of the distractions and obligations that were keeping me so busy this last year. I am ready to knit. I’m ready to crochet. I haven’t picked up sticks or hook for 9 months, that damn wedding planning ate up all my time. But I’m [...]
