This entry contains the full text and pictures from the PDF pattern, available for free through Ravelry here, with a bit of extra blathering since formatting is less critical. Ever since getting an iPad my appreciation for web patterns vs fixed-format PDFs has skyrocketed, so I decided to make this available in both formats. As [...]

At Cafe Blue in Volente, TX. It’s a gorgeous 90F today — we had a cold front come through yesterday. This is Texas in September, folks.

Over the weekend I timed my knitting and did some math, and at that point I had 16.5 hrs of knitting to finish my second Veronica Mars sock (I was just at the point of starting calf decreases). I’m down to 6 hrs now, but it’s the last day of the month, so I’ll have [...]

Now that I’ve overcome that hurdle, I should be looking for test knitters sometime next week. If anyone’s interested, let me know! (The pattern will be free, so you’ll just get first crack at it.)

I’ve been really struggling with my first colorwork socks, the Neptune High faux argyle pattern inspired by Veronica Mars. Sorry, no fancy linkage today since I’m writing this on my phone while a cat is in my lap. I’m using the Philosopher’s two-handed, no-floats method of stranding, which I picked up quickly and have no [...]
