Always Casting On…

I’m suffering from a wicked case of startitis.
This is not good.
I have too many projects on the go that really need to be done, preferably yesterday, before I release the beast within and let it have at.
Let’s take a quick, yet embarrassing, count of what’s been lying dormant for months, shall we.

Not to [...]

My husband, dear that he is, signed me up for this years Rockin’ Sock Club offered by Blue Moon Fiber Arts. Yes, he loves me…and yes, he wanted to shut me up. (wink)
I wasn’t whinging.
Seriously!
I was just undecided as to whether I would like a sock club, even though I wanted to [...]

I finally finished knitting my Firestarter socks and I’m finally happy with them after some wee adjustments.

Pattern: Firestarter by Yarnissima
Pattern available as a free Ravelry download here.
Yarn: Wollmeise Sockenwolle 100% superwash in Campari Orange
Needles: 2.25mm
Mods: After knitting one sock, I ripped it out because I wasn’t happy with the way the Wollmeise knit up at [...]

I repeat. Furnace down!
Let’s just hope it’s just the pilot light that went out.
That is all.
Knit On!
Update: Furnace has been relit and we’re currently thawing out. Damn pilot light.

has my blogging mojo gone?
Where, oh where can it be?
It flew out the fecking window, that’s where it went.
Now, how do I get it back?
It’s not so much about not having the phlegm, as it is about not being able to cough it up.
Okay, poor analogy – but, there it is.
At least [...]

Wishing all of you and yours the best for 2009.
I’m still not prepared for a blog post.
No pics.
No new projects.
No witty story to tell you about. (snort)
I will say we are all well. My husband saw his oncologist on the 31st and his last MRI was clear! Even though [...]

Drive by posting here so I can once again hang my head in shame.
I was totally wrong about the Icewine Mittens. I frogged back to the cuff and reknit on 3.25mm needles. Now they are perfect.
Or at least this one is.

Instead of casting on to make a pair of [...]

When I want to knit some gifts (not Christmas gifts, per se, but more like thank you gifts for a select few that were very helpful during this past year) my arse gets all tied in a knot and I want to spin, or be influenced by other knitters and their sock yarn?
Yes, [...]

This post is dedicated to the letter, “G”. This ones for you, bro.
My writing muse seems to have been making herself available again after taking a holiday.
Without me.
*Bitch.*
I don’t hold grudges, so I’m letting her come out. This may be good, or it may be very, very, bad. We shall see.
Let us [...]

I think it’s all starting to hit me. I’m at the beginning stages of feeling dragged down and bummer, summer’s over. *Sigh* I just need a wee break from it all. Begging your pardon, but I just needed to get that off my chest. *grimace*
I joined Mystery Stole 4 and [...]
