Reference<\/a><\/p>\n

How great is Mr. Penney? The other night, I found this under my pillow:<\/p>\n

\"Shibori<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Granted, I found it under my pillow at 3 a.m. in the morning, but nonetheless, isn’t it great? The book <\/a>is by Karren Brito <\/a>and is a feast for the eyes. Trying shibori is one of the things on my miles long to-do list.<\/p>\n

Ok, update on the Taiga socks:<\/p>\n

\"Second<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you notice anything different between the two socks? Let’s go in for a closer look to compare and contrast.<\/p>\n

\"Taiga<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a dark green blotch in the middle of the light green area of the yarn! Maybe this is way these skeins were up for sale on eBay. I think the reason why I didn’t notice this problem initially is because of the euphoria of getting new sock yarn caused me to wind this up right away without doing a close inspection. Lesson learned.<\/p>\n

I shall persevere, though. (I sound so put upon!)\u00a0Most people don’t notice my socks anyway. I have always point them out to people, with my receiving a strange look and then, “Uh, nice. Can you put back down your pants leg now?” (Which is better than getting, “Uh, nice. Can you put your pants back on now?”) I will definitely have to knit Mr. Penney another pair of socks now. (Not like these were the last socks he was ever going to get from me, but anyway.) Hopefully, I will finish them this weekend, and move onto other knitting that hasn’t turned into kind of a buzzkill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
