The Sordid Truth

Posted in cable-rib socks, silliness, socks on May 25, 2007 | 14 Comments »

I should be knitting my second pink cable-rib sock. The progress? Not much. “She’s done only TWO rounds of gusset decreases!

We won’t be discussing the second pink cable-rib sock today. SSS has set in bad. Since it is the last project with my old way of tensioning the yarn, and I think I have figured out a new way that will work for me, finishing this sock in the old way (a must really) is [...]

Diffusing Light and Pink Knitting

Posted in WIPs, cable-rib socks, socks on May 10, 2007 | 18 Comments »

Well, I promised to tell you the trick I learned for diffusing light, thereby getting rid of shadows. I learned this a while ago from Domesticat.
