Heel OOPS?

Sunday, May 15th, 2005

I don’t know what I did, thought I was cruising along on the Go with the Flow Socks, turning the heel and I end up with this funny looking thing.

The picture shows, the heel flap and the remaining 8 sts after working all the sts per the directions (or my interpertation of them anyhow). […]

Fisherman’s Rib Help

Saturday, May 14th, 2005

In preperation of my 3rd cast on for Triada, I bought a stitch dictionary last night, so I could be sure I knew how to do the Fisherman’s Rib correctly.
When the directions say to “knit (or purl) the stitch below” they forget to say what to do with the stitch on the needle. […]

My Birthdate means….

Friday, May 13th, 2005

Your Birthdate: August 7
Born on the 7th day of month gives you a tendency to be something of a perfectionist and makes you more individualistic in many ways. I’m not a perfectionist in everything but certain things certainly drive me nearly insane if they aren’t perfect. I certainly do have very independent thoughts […]

Help Me get a Free Mini Mac

Thursday, May 12th, 2005

I admit it, I’m a PC girl at heart, but a Mini Mac would be sooooo useful for me in my line of work. I currently rely on the kindness of strangers when designing a site to ensure that Mac browsers do not freak out on a design that is flawless on the PC. […]

Casted On

Wednesday, May 11th, 2005

Okay, these are going to be beautiful socks, but I almost quit as soon as I casted on. They are an extremely fine gauge compared to everything else I’ve worked on and switching from the sz 17 needles for Triada to the sz 1 needles for these socks is a bit wierd! I’m […]
