Socks!, originally uploaded by casystotyle. I don’t know why these socks were like pulling teeth to finish…but I just lost interest in them after the heel. I did them with Koigu, toe-up on two circulars with a short row heel. It was my first and possibly...

Okay, I apologize for that overly enthusiastic cheesiness of this blog title… but I’m in love, with some socks… I’m building these with some lovely Koigu. The pattern is a basic toe-up with a little twist from this shell sock pattern. I...

After an almost eight-month hiatus from the needles…I finally got something started and finished. It’s from Rebecca No. 29. I left off the fruity trim suggested and I haven’t done the crochet edge or (gasp!) blocking yet, but I hate finishing....

So he drinks all day and cats it up at night…We still love him. Tearing up shit. Shitting up shit, well, just the linoleum floor, but regardless, he’s a rebellious adolescent and we don’t know what to do with him. Mr. Seeds has four vices: turkey,...

How do I describe the love I feel for these fibers as I gently coax them into becoming yarrn. This picture is of my third attempt with small amounts of yarn from a kit that I bought. I dyed the yarn myself with kool-aid before I spun it. The color had a bit less...

Just finished this hat. The decreasing in the instructions was a bit wonky, so I improvised a bit, but I think it works. It’s the right size and it’s hella warm, so that’s all that matters. It looks great on Travis, but I’m keeping it....

So, I’ve been making arm warmers for days on end. They don’t let me eat, or even have water. I haven’t had a bath in days. Just knitting. And knitting. Oh, my god…they’re coming with the whips again…I’ve got to...

These are the wrist warmers from Speed Knitting that I’ve been working on. They are so quick to knit up. I started them at knit club and goofed off for most of the night and I just finished them. I’d say they take about 2 1/2 hours to complete at the most....
