I didn't get a ton of knitting done over the holiday break. But over the last week I have finished up my second Rogue sweater ! I think I did a fine job grafting the cables at the top of the hood in pattern too! I still need to weave in the ends and block it well, then I'll take some real photos. This hood became a running joke at my house because for 3 nights in a row I sat down in front of ...
That's right. You heard me. Soapthulhu. Last year around this time, I knitted Cthulhu lipbalm cozies. I also knitted soap sweaters, which were washcloths knitted with a pocket in the center where a bar of soap was stashed. I don' t know what it is about December that brings out the Chthulhu knitter in me, but here I am, once again, messing around with the great old one. Without further ado, I...
As of noon-thirty yesterday I finished the Christmasknitting! Yay me! Also the shopping is just about done, one couple left. And I just pulled a Secret Santa name from the hat today. I am hoping we can wrap and start sending this week so that it is done before next weekend. Then there are no worries of things arriving on time and we won't need to send expedited mail. So yesterday afternoon (...

Because of that, there is a variation in the striping, very ...

...When I finished the socks looked like this: I decided I really didn't like the garish-ness of this sock yarn - although it does an amazing job of not pooling even through the gusset section. So after knitting both socks I dunked them in a dye pot of onion skins and a touch of food coloring. The red and yellow food dyes usually are light and bright, I think the onion skin did a fabulous job ...

(Oh, and for those getting into knitting/crochet - YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE :lol... would pull the CO/chain around (if knitting, you HAVE to be using double-points ...have a "back" and a "front" like knitting? Anyway....it's seriously that simple to ...
... she's become the soccer mom of knitting! She's taking the scarf I knit... about the fact that I'm knitting and I basically sit on the ...such lengths to promote me in my knitting. But I draw the line on ... Yes, SERIOUSLY!) I'm nervous about knitting this stuff, though. It feels so ... mom and her reaction to my knitting.
