Two socks, two circs, one foot. And I guess one bag.
I present to you what appears to be a successful heel turn and set of gusset decreases on the straight-laced socks. This is getting exciting!
Yarn Lust and Fashion Sense
June 10th, 2006 | 2 Comments
Yarn is like crack. The presence of a gorgeous yarn, heck even the virtual presence of a gorgeous yarn, is sufficient to make a yarn addict shake and sweat.
My name is Yvonne, and I think I may have a problem. Slowly, the stash monster has been creeping up on me, a growing spectre of woolly goodness that I imagine will some day emerge from the corner, fully conscious, and smother me in my sleep.
Macro Hate for Microspun
March 26th, 2006 | 7 Comments
The name “Microspun” is utterly misleading, given that it starts unspinning itself the second it gets pulled out of the skein. It’s as if the four plies had a massive falling out in the skein, and now they can’t get away from each other fast enough. The yarn doesn’t even make good scrap yarn, given that its fraying tendencies can’t withstand repeated re-threading through even the most giant of tapestry needles.
