Thank you all for being kind enough not to point out the mistake in the socks posted yesterday. Luckily my friend Pirk is a very diplomatic person.
“Beautiful,
but,
did you do the cuffs different, on purpose?”
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTT???????
I pulled them out of my bag and sure enough. Two different cuffs. One in …
I can’t believe these have been on the needles for almost a year. Nothing overly complicated about them, just kept getting put aside for bright shiny projects (ie…cashmere….)
I love the way the pooling turned into barber poles. Not quite matching, but at least similar enough to look like a design …
I’ve been working horrendous hours (again) so my knitting time has been limited to the odd stitch while waiting for the coffee to brew in the morning. So needless to say I don’t have a lot of evidence of process. I have been designing in my insomnia-riddled sleep, …

and I’m sorry to say that it hasn’t gotten much better for knitters. There were
more booths for sure, but most …
