A wise woman told me Saturday night that you never forget your first time (with a fleece). I might have made an inappropriate reference to the fleece’s name, but we don’t need to talk about that.
Instead, may I present Black Cherry:
(Here, in the blinding sunlight of my trunk)
(Here, a lock)
(Here, more crimp. Sorry about the [...]

* “They” are the people who have gone before, who tell you that you *must* go, but not really why.
What have I learned about Rhinebeck:
I learned that it’s not the festival, its not the bloggers, its not the weather or the lamb burgers or the vendors or the h(m)otel that makes Rhinebeck. It really is [...]

It’s official: I’ll be wearing the Olympic Rhinebeck sweater on Saturday. I have it on right this second (though the bottom hem isn’t done), and while it’s a bit snug (or I’m a bit round), it looks pretty damn ok.
Mr. Cygknit is back from the bank for me. Dragon arrives in 30 [...]

I have a list of things to do before Rhinebeck that is freakin’ huge. Overwhelming. And I know I can’t be the only one.
See, Ms. Dragon is flying up here on Thursday for a weekend of Rhinebeck fun. We’re spending Thursday, Friday and Saturday night at some nice place in Red Hook (let’s not dwell [...]

Really.
I love to knit, and I do it as frequently as I can. Lunch breaks, trips with Mr. Cygknit (including trips to Target), and far too many hours I should be doing schoolwork. On a scale of obsessed, however, I don’t rank nearly as I high as my co-workers I would [...]

Again with the behind on Socktoberfest posting.
Here is my sock stash. Isn’t it pitifully small?
Lolly’s Questions:
Do you have certain patterns planned for some of the yarns? Do you buy yarn and then choose a pattern?
Um, sometimes. The green Opal Gems in the top left is meant to [...]

Forgive me. I really should be Socktoberfest posting. But, oh! I’m taken with the bunny.
Apparently, Olive and Juniper are getting along: they played hide and seek last night. It terrified the heck out of *me*.
PS Today, Dragon turns 30. If you can stand any more mushiness from me, [...]

I had a wonderful, (if cold medicine filled) weekend with Jess up at the Hancock Shaker Village. We were part of…wait, we WERE…the spinning demonstration for the end of National Spinning Week. Aside from being a great excuse to go up and see Jess, and hang out with her (very fun) family, and [...]

I am sick. I know I will be all better soon (I have to! I have too much to do!) but boy, today hasn’t been so very fun. The socks for my mom (the Sockotta) were not working out, and after much cursing I ripped them out and started a different pattern, the [...]

Late, again! I’ve been reading everyone’s answers to Lolly’s Socktoberfest questionnaire, and want to play along (what with being on a sock high, and all).
When did you start making socks? Did you teach yourself or were you taught by a friend or relative? or in a class?
I started making socks in March of 2005. My [...]
