    Reference Well, it appears what goes up must come down. On Friday night, I made another attempt at a toe-up sock, using the easy toe instructions from MSKS. On Saturday morning, this is what I had waiting for me.  The yarn is more stuff that I bought off of eBay, this time from Francis Patrick. I was…

    Reference Yeah! Another project in the Done column. I finished the socks I was making from my handspun this morning. I casted on for the second sock Friday night and was doing the kitchener stitch for the toe this morning after we got back from the gym. Working on 4 mm circular needle over 48 stitches…

    Reference Well, with the help of one of our little spies, the baby sweater was delivered to the parents. I know the spy gave it to his parents because I heard this: Father: Did you say thank you? Spy: Thank you, Pat. Despite numerous attempts on Mr. Penney’s part, we still don’t know whether they…

    Reference  Well, I was hoping to be farther along on this by now, but progress is still being made: The second sleeve has a few more rows to go, and then I will “put the stitches down” in to the body of the sweater and work on the collar. I am putting down stitches, as…

    Reference  Ok, so they aren’t blue, but it is beautiful to see this in the morning, with the sunlight filtering through the trees in the front yard, hitting the trees in the back yard. First, an update on one of my little rants. It seems that there is some information about this subject, or at…

    Mr. Penney and I are mostly homebodies. Most of this is because we have gotten past the point of wanting to do the clubs and such. Another reason though, is because we have someone back home that we have to take care of: Bogey is a nine year old beagle that has been with Mr.…

    I hope you had a good holiday weekend. Mr. Penney and I did, though I can’t say that we did anything out of the ordinary. I did get baby sweater number two completed: It is about to get shipped off to my friend Kelly, who gave birth to her daughter Regina back in January. Hopefully, it…

    I know I should save it until the end, but I can’t wait, so here it is: It wasn’t like there was a lot to do on it since the last entry here, but we did go on a button finding expedition on Saturday. Mr. Penney helped me select the buttons for this jacket and…

    This post is going to make it sound like I have been obsessed with knitting, which is kind of true, but only for the past couple weeks. It seems that there is a population boom going on, and since my loom that I normally make the baby blankets on is occupied, I am knitting baby…

    This is scarf has a great feel and drape due to the fiber and the weave structure. I wove this scarf as a birthday present for my best friend. And he has to be a good friend, with the cursing that I did with this yarn. I never felt I could get a good, consistent…
