I remember starting these socks.  It was two houses ago, which sounds awful unless you realize that I’ve moved twice since September of last year. I re-found these socks a little while back but I’ve been working on other stuff.  … Continue reading →

Make it yours

Posted on October 10, 2010 by Tigs

I’ve finished the first of the Ribbed Ribbons socks and I’ve just finished turning the heel on the second one.  Incidentally, I really enjoyed this heel.  I’m not usually a fan of the heels that have a wrap and turn … Continue reading →

Beyond Enamored

Posted on October 7, 2010 by Tigs

I don’t know if it’s the pattern, the or fact that I’m knitting a sock for a friend, the yarn or the way I’m knitting it.  Perhaps it’s a combination of all four influences. To recap, the pattern is Ribbed … Continue reading →

It’s been since June?!

Holy cow!  I knew I hadn’t posted in a while but that’s ridiculous.  Okay, so I’ve had a few things going on in my life.  Namely I lost my job, I moved and I finished school.  And a few health … Continue reading →

Look at me! Posting two days in a row! With a picture!

Posted on June 2, 2010 by Tigs

My amazing and generous friend Deb gifted me with a snowman cross stitch that she had been working on for years.   I heart it with the heat of 1000 suns.  I can’t take a decent picture of it to save … Continue reading →

My dear darling Laura and I were discussing Sock Summit last night.  I missed the first one due to major life upheaval and financial constraints.  I will not miss the next one.  We decided that we’d start planning now so … Continue reading →

Dragon's Breath moves forward

Posted on January 23, 2010 by Tigs

There was something just not right about those socks.  I was getting perfect gauge the pattern was coming out beautifully but it wasn’t right.  I knit two full repeats and kept checking over and over.  Perfect gauge.  Measuring exactly what … Continue reading →

This weekend I finished the latest pair of S.M.I.L.E. socks, with a revision to my usual pattern. I finished up my brilliant Noro Silk Garden scarf which I love love love.  Seen here worn by me as I finally got … Continue reading →

Starting yet another sock

Posted on January 7, 2010 by Tigs

This one is a commission sock.  I’m rather happy about this one because I haven’t had a S.M.I.L.E. sock to carry around for a while.  Hubby’s socks were S.M.I.L.E. socks and so I always had a bit of knitting on … Continue reading →
