Eleanor, gee, I think you're swell...

...And you really do me well
You're my pride and joy, et cetera.

Eleanor de Plume socks, cuffs

I love this pattern and I love the Pepe La Plume yarn in the pattern!

Also loving the Fraggle Squiggle pattern in the Turquoise Socks That Rock yarn:

Fraggled Socks, cuffs

I'm just about to the scary part of the toe-up Under the Sea socks.

Under the Sea sock toes

This is where I usually have a big amount of FAIL. Either I do the heel too early (foot = too short) or too late (foot = too long). The last time I tried this method, I frogged several times and them gave up in disgust. I'm hoping that it works this time.

That's all I've got...work has been really busy, so I haven't had many extra cycles to post, etc. By the end of the day, my brain is tired!

I leave you with a June sky picture...

June clouds
Love those clouds!

Hello, I'm knitting the Under the Sea socks too.

I've just completed the heel but I think something is wrong with the pattern. Shouldn't there be a gusset? (I am a total newbie with toe-up, wrapped heel socks). I ended up with 15 stitches on needle 2 compared to the 33 stitches on needle 1. Something is wrong here.

Can you help me?

Oh I think I need to learn to read. The instruction "Knit the stitch and the wrap together" is NOT "Knit the stitch and the wrapped stitch together."

Ooops. I think I see my needless decrease.

Your socks look lovely.

Blogiversary Contest...

...Happy Blogiversary to me!! It's been 3 years since I started this blog. In that time I've gone from being mostly a cross-stitcher and quilter to being a knitter and spinner. I still cross stitch and quilt, but I spend far more of my craft time knitting and spinning. In honor of the blog turning 3, I'm having a contest! Leave a comment in this post to be entered in a drawing for a skein of Sundara Petals Collection sock yarn (or a skein of my handspun, if you prefer). The winner will be chosen at random from all entrants. Deadline: 1/12/09 at Midnight (Pacific time) Good luck! (Jaywalker socks in progress)

It's my 5th Blogiversary...let's have a contest!

Yeah, who knew I'd still be doing this five years later? There have been a few changes since my first post . I'm no longer just a stitcher and quilter. I've added knitter, spinner, and weaver to the list. I also dabble in macro photography I changed the name of the blog to be more "me." I changed the layout. I have more than one reader. (Don't burst my bubble, please. LOL!) I've settled into a MWF schedule of posting, except when life and work get in the way. I still find the blog a useful journal of the projects I have in process and my mindset at the time I'm working on them. A little personal stuff gets thrown in from time to time. So, for now, blogging is still working for me. If you've been reading all along...thanks for joining me on this little journey! I plan on continuing as long as it is still useful for me. OK, on to the contest: Leave a comment on this post by Midnight PST, Wednesday 1/19/11. (No, multiple comments will ...

Eye Candy Friday...

...and another week races by! We have a few blooming things in the garden. This Icelandic Poppy is on the ledge outside the kitchen window: We have some bright yellow calendulas filling a container in the back yard: and these unusual pink flowers are in another contains. Don't ask me what they are...I have no idea: Up this weekend: We're taking a shopping trip to one of my favorite stores, The Container Store . I have placed an online order for some of the items I'll need for my December baking spree. I planned to go by myself to pick it up, but The Husband wants to look for small jars to repackage the olives he's brineing. We don't shop together, so this is a nice outing for the two of us. Don't tell The Husband, but we will also be going to Williams-Sonoma, which is in the same shopping center. I need to buy the dry brine and the gravy base for Thanksgiving. I always make a special trip for this, so if I can do it on the same shopping run, s...
