After a lot of thought and consideration I chose Knitty’s Spring Forward socks for the Paca-peds yarn I’d recently purchased during my last trip to the Yarn Barn. Both yarn and pattern are great but IMO I should’ve listened to my gut instinct and selected a simplier pattern. The stitch pattern simply gets lost in the colorway. This isn’t going to stop me [...]

It’s Been a While
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged blythe, FO, hat, knitting, yarn on February 8, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I’ve done minimal knitting since my last post. Since last May I completed a baby blanket, a wrap and the following hats. The baby blanket will not be showed off since I did not have a chance to photograph it before gifting it away. Will say the parents-to-be were very happy with it and couldn’t get over the fact they’d [...]
My First Cable Socks
Posted in Uncategorized on May 12, 2008 | 6 Comments »
All I knit lately are socks. I confess, I used to think sock knitters were a little crazy, but after realizing the practicality and convenience of knitting socks, I think they’re on to something.
There are many reasons knitters prefer to knit socks and I won’t bore you with those details because I’m sure you’ve read [...]
It’s All Knitty’s Fault
Posted in Uncategorized on April 18, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Had I never picked up knitting and found my way to knitty.com, I would never have clicked on this. Yep, one look at those disproportionate girls and I was totally taken with them. How could anyone be afraid of these cuties. Then again I wasn’t six years old when I first laid eyes on the Blythe dolls.
For the past two [...]
Eleanor and Mini-Clowns
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged FO, knitting, self-dyed yarn, socks on April 12, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I can honestly say Eleanor (left pair) is my first FO of this year. I started the first sock last April when Momma Monkey sponsored a knit off which I signed up for as part of team Koigu. This is as far as I got that weekend:
Sometime that year I finished the rest of the [...]
Little Blue Riding Hood

Apologies for the crappy picture since it does not do the pattern justice. I started this project in August ‘07 and finished knitting the body sometime in October. My intentions were to introduce a more girly color either through embroidery or applique of knitted flowers, but my motivation and creativity were very limited. Before I knew [...]
Trying to Get Back…
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged blogging, knitting, shopping, yarn on April 6, 2008 | 2 Comments »
But it’s been almost four months since my last post and there are a few little changes in WordPress which is making it difficult for me to post images. Now I ask, what’s the point of posting about your creations if there are no images to support your work? Not that I’ve been super productive on [...]
Shamefully Unproductive

At the most, I think I’ve picked up my current WIP just a handful of times. Even my sewing machine is collecting dust once again. Oh well, starting a new job is taking some getting used to, especially adjusting to my new schedule while trying to get over a nagging cold. I am keeping a project at work to knit [...]
Clown Socks Finished

I’m relieved I got my knitting mojo back and was able to finish my clown socks this weekend. Overall, I am thrilled with the end result.
Yarn: Opal Feelings’ shade 1705 for the leg and foot and Opal Uni’s shade 1413 for cuff, heel and toe.
Why I like this yarn: 1. The colors are bright and happy [...]
I’m In

Ravelry sent me their invite to join sometime in October. I accepted, signed in as bufanditas and began touring the site at once. Overall I like how easy it is to see other people’s projects, their comments on said projects and the yarns they used. A nice feature is the ability to link projects to published work and the database of yarns is [...]
