stones and bones



My super is getting his gallbladder removed so knaturally I knit him a knew one. I love fiber arts because whatever you're doing, its already been done, so you have something to best. While mine is much larger than life sized, I felt it was important to work short rows going into the icord for that classic turn into the cystic duct and to cast on a new icord for the common heptic duct, so that he has all his connecting pieces that he needs.

LOCK SOCKS

Lock socks are my favorite instant gratification projects. I work them up in every yarn and gauge in my stash, usually as a round swatch for another project, although only non-slippery fibres and tight gauges ever see practical application. My muse was not particularly thrilled when I offered him the jumbo mohair seed stitch scrunchy.



Locks and wool have deep felty love for each other. The little white wool one will hug and felt a bit onto his lock after a steamy shower and individual kinky hairs always turn up wrapped in between and around the plies in my wool knitting.

I didn't forget you.

Lildubz has been experiencing some "life changes." I got a new desk job (there is not a lot that I like about sitting at a desk 8 hours a day but I can knit so we will just leave it at that for now) and I moved into a new house so all my projects and yarns were all over the place. But the weather is now wool friendly, yarn shops are having great sales, and I'm just about to finish two projects that I think The Blog would really like. Soon.
