Cross posted on Team Canada blog. Here’s my finished project! My very first pair of socks. It was definitely challenging. I remade the first sock 3 times before I was satisfied with it. Mostly trouble with the heel but I did figure it out. It was great fun to learn new skills and I’m happy [...]

Horray! It’s done! It’s done! It’s done! I’m so thrilled. The socks are knitted up. I only have to wash, dry and block them! I’m very happy about this new development. I feel so accomplished. So, what do I think about this experience of the KO? I think subwayknitter (Colleen) put it really well. I [...]

I sew up the toe and put it on to model. Flour stares in wonder. You know it’s coming, the next two photos are fuzzy for obvious reasons. Right after this, she jumps out of the crate (which she only have done twice in weeks.) for my sock. And here’s the scratching and biting. ah… [...]

So, yesterday, I ripped up the whole sock, and cast on again and started it again. Then when we got to the heel, (haha, I typed hell at first) I went and dug up more sock patterns all over the place in my knitting magazines and found other patterns. I read the other patterns and [...]

I ripped up my sock that I was knitting for the KO this morning. After finishing turning the heel and knitting some more, I realized that it was a disaster sock. G came home and I showed it to him and he thought the heel was the toe. When I told him that it was [...]

G’s birthday was yesterday and we celebrated by not cooking! We had delivery. We’ll have delivery again tonight to celebrate Valentine’s day. Oh, how the times have changed now that there’s Flour. But it’s all worth it since we love her so. For his birthday request of cufflinks, I went and got him a pair [...]

The title really says it all. I spent the past long weekend (Thursday – Sunday) travelling to and from Nashville, TN. Why was I in Nashville? I was graciously invited by my designer friends (see links on the right) to attend the Nashville Market with them while they showcase their wonderful new designs to the [...]
