Sorry about the long hiatus. Working 60 hours a week will do that to you ;)

The legwarmers are complete!

Everything I actually finished. Not including the things I intended to finish but didn't, or abandoned.

There are also a few more beer sweaters I need to photograph.

My knitting life was a mess. There were way too many ancient projects, too many horribly ugly gift yarns, too many things I'd never conceivably do anything with. So I started frogging and tossing.

Disgusting scratchy yarn that smelled like it sat in my grandmother's basement for 10 years? Tossed.

Scraps of Fun Fur in 10 different colors? Donated.

Scarf I started knitting five years ago and haven't worked on since? Tossed.

And sometimes there are the projects that started out perfectly well-intentioned but just didn't get finished. Such as my Posey. I got three rows done and just sort of gave up on them. The yarn's pretty, but I got incredibly sick of making all those fiddly little squares, and I could feel the purl bumps when I walked on them. I also hate picking up stitches. So, frogged. The yarn's going to become a pair of "fraternal twin" socks instead.

And now I have plenty of extra space in my yarn storage box for the inevitable new acquisitions. I don't have to stress about having too much "stuff" every time I get something out, and there are fewer rogue balls to get tangled round each other whenever I turn my back (how the hell do the even do that?).

So the moral of the story is, don't be afraid of frogging. Don't be afraid to give things away or toss them. It will all be OK.

2008 is The Winter of Knitting.

Last year, I did a few handmade Christmas gifts, Y's Skywalkers and my sister's Fat Fuzzy Scarf.
This year, I got ambitious.

For Sister: Jaywalkers
For Mum: Evening Stockings for a Young Lady
For Grandma: Gentleman's Shooting Stockings
For Y: Noro Striped Scarf
For the neighbor's grandbaby: Better than Booties Baby Socks
And for Dad's birthday: Gentleman's Plain Winter Sock

I finished Dad's about three weeks ago, as his birthday is the 21st. My sister's are finished as well. Mum's first sock is done, and I'm doing the ribbing on the second. The baby socks I started but had to rip back as they were coming out too big. I have the yarn for the Shooting Stockings, and still have to shop for some good scarf colors.

Three more months of this? I may go insane.

I love variegated yarns.

That said, I'm not too fond of how they look in a lot of stitch patterns. And there's no consistency at all, some look great in basketweave but terrible as a cable. Some make pretty good cables but disgusting lace. And there's no way to tell what yarn goes with what pattern without swatching (and swearing) a million and one times. Yeeargh.

The one pattern I've found that looks great in just about every yarn is the zigzag stitch, made famous by Grumperina's Jaywalkers. You get interesting skinny stripes without knitting miles and miles of stockinette.

One of my first socks was the Jaywalker-inspired Skywalkers. Because they had to fit Y's massive clodhoppers and because I wanted to do them "my way", I pretty much took the idea of Jaywalkers and ran with it, ending up with a completely different sock.

This time, I decided to do them the "right" way. I started with Knit One Crochet Too's Soxx Appeal in Raspberry Sundae. I've heard Jaywalkers tend to not stretch much, so I was hoping the elastic in the yarn would help me get a well-fitting sock without having to make it big and saggy.

I have the first sock done, and it fits great! The heel is snug but not too snug. The colors are awesome, they really pop when I go out in the sun.

Overall, a lovely pattern and fun to knit.

Finally finished these drat things last night. This is the last time I make socks for a guy with a size 11 foot in a light fingering (really closer to laceweight) yarn.



Stats:
Pattern- Gentleman's Sock with Lozenge Pattern from Knitting Vintage Socks (Interweave Press, by Nancy Bush)
Yarn- Southwest Trading Company TOFUtsies, in color #720 (Sweep You Off Your Feet)
Needle-set of 4 US 1 DPNs
Size- leg is 7" long, foot is 10.5" long, 9" circumference



I love the sock. I love the pattern and yarn. The one thing I don't love is how long they took to finish, even though I shortened the leg. Hopefully they'll last him forever.

The grapes in the sock picture are Muscadines from my arbor. They're native to Florida and were used by the Spaniards to make the first wines in the US.

Muscadines are sweet-tasting when ripe and have a hard skin that cracks audibly when you bite into it. You don't eat the skin or seeds, just the flesh. Birds and raccoons LOVE them and it's usually a battle for us to pick them after they turn sweet but before the critters do.

The two shown in the picture are sort of smallish for my vine, they're usually a bit larger. I've seen grapes the size of ping-pong balls, though mine don't get that big.

Here's another shot:

Here's the video of me knitting socks, as promised on the last entry. The pattern is actually a "lozenge pattern", not "wowwenge pattern". I can't seem to speak coherently on camera... :)

Sorry for the extreme delay between entries. I've been having technical difficulties, including a bricked laptop (now replaced), a missing camera battery (not yet replaced), and a broken camera phone (in the process of being replaced).

The boyfriend is in China (Shanghai) for the summer, and I'm going to try to finish his next pair of socks before he gets back. I bought needles and a book last night, and cast on with the SWTC Tofutsies he picked out (in TOEquoise). The pattern is Gentlemen's Sock in Lozenge Pattern from Knitting Vintage Socks.

I took a short video of myself knitting on the first sock last night to post in this thread on Ravelry (note: link only works if you have a Rav account. If not, sign up, it's free and fun!). Annoyingly, I can't get it to upload on Youtube. I'm trying again with Google Video, but my problems are probably because the video file is massive, and I don't have any editing software that will cut it down. If I figure it out, video will be posted here.

For now, here's a picture of me holding the top of the cuff:

Merely911 on Ravelry pointed out a mistake in my Skywalker pattern.

There was an error just after the toe of the sock. What originally read "R1" in the pattern should have read "R1-R2". The pattern was corrected as of 8 AM today, but if you printed or saved the pattern before this time, you should make a new copy.

Today shall be forever known as the Day of the Dropped Stitches, for Better or for Worse.

For Better

I am obsessed with Jeanie, from the Winter 2007/2008 issue of Knitty. So pretty, so fun to knit. And it's lace (fun!) without being too "girly", and not floral at all. I think the cables help with the androgyny of it. Well, not that a lacy shawl could ever be truly androgynous, but as I said, at least it's not floral. I'm working mine in laceweight (Cherry Tree Hill Merino Lace), and with fewer repeats of Chart C, so it will be more like a scarf than a shawl (hence Jeanette).

Even smaller than the original pattern, it's still the slowest knit I've ever encountered. It's all ribbing (even the cables), so you never get a good rhythm going. I also never seem to be able to put it down. It's addictive!

In the early hours of this morning, I got to the first row where I got to drop stitches. The yarn has a halo to it (being merino and all), and some of the stitches wanted to adhere together and not drop easily, but with a little persuasion and the help of my crochet hook, I got them to obey. It was terrifying (I couldn't help but worry I miswrapped ONE stitch somewhere along the line and the entire thing was going to fall to pieces in my hands), but oh god was it worth it.

So here, ladies and gentlemen, for your viewing pleasure, are three beautiful cables surrounded by dropped-stitch ladders:



(And yes, I am aware that however beautiful Jeanette is, my carpet is ugly of equal magnitude.)

I also LOVE knitting directly from the skein (no pesky ball-winding). I just drape it over my lap, revel in its softness, and try not to move too much. When it's time to put it away, I just twist it, and pull one end through the other. Easy as pie.



For Worse

Remember the Double-Knit Socks I posted about a few days ago? I was socking along, and decided to do a test-pull and make sure one wasn't attached to the other.

Well, it was.

There were two possible solutions: frog back two inches (really four, since it's two per sock!), or try to drop a few stitches down and fix it back up with a crochet hook. Needless to say, I chose the latter.

I got three stitches dropped down (and grabbed on a stitch holder to prevent further unraveling), and realized that somehow I had a 3" tail connecting the two socks that didn't want to let go. So I dropped a stitch on the other side.

Wait, no, there were TWO tails connecting the socks. What the hell was going on here? It looked like I did something really, really odd with one of the wrap and turns in the short-row toe.

My mind sufficiently boggled, I decided to set the socks down and finish fixing them in the morning when I have better light. Whatever the solution, it will probably include scissors and knots. Lots of knots.

Here's what my poor crazy socks look like right now:




Needless to say, tonight I'm drinking and working on Jeanette. At least she loves me.

Today I'm working on a pair of my Perpetual Socks (I try to always have at least one pair of socks going, as an easy/portable project), using my Personal Favorite Sock Pattern.

I'm working with Regia sock yarn (4 fädig color).

I normally don't knit plain-stockinette socks, but these have something really fun and interesting about them: I'm knitting both at once, using double-knitting.

Over the holidays, I wanted to knit a pair of fingerless mitts, but didn't have DPNS in a size big enough for the yarn I wanted to use. I'd thought a long time ago that double-knitting (redistributing the stitches after casting-on so they didn't seal off the end) could be used to make a tube, and decided to try it. I ended up with my Either Genius or Crazy mitts (viewable on Ravelry):

The cables were a hell and a half to do, but the double-knitting was not hard at all. So I decided to do the same technique again on my socks.

Full tutorial coming Tuesday!

Socks are my absolute favorite things to knit. They're small and portable (if you're knitting on the bus you're not going to be poking the guy next to you with the ends of your 14" straights), they use small balls of yarn, so even if you buy two colors you won't end up with tons of leftovers, and you can make them in virtually any stitch pattern.

If you know me, you know I can't handle following a written pattern. I want to change everything. So after attempting my first pair of socks with a written pattern (and failing miserably), I graduated to a sock calculator, and then just started tinkering until I came up with my own pattern that worked best for me. Today I'll be sharing my Personal Favorite Sock-Knitting Pattern.

Gauge: Serious Business
Gauge swatches knitted flat do not work when the actual object is to be knitted in the round. Now, you could cast on for a swatch and knit it circularly, then measure, then start knitting your sock, but a sock is about the size of a swatch anyway. What I prefer to do is make an educated guess on what my gauge is going to be, then start knitting. If you guessed right, you'll already have the toe of your sock done. If not, well, it's no more work than a swatch would have been.

First, figure out what you'd like your gauge to be, When I'm using fingering-weight yarn (most yarns you see advertised as "sock yarns" are fingering-weight), I like to have about 9 or 10 stitches per inch. At this point, you'll need to look at the yarn label. Look at the recommended needle size and gauge. If you normally knit tightly, go up a needle size or two. If you normally knit loosely, go down.

Now it's time to do a little math. Nothing scary, I promise. This will be painless.

Measure around the ball of your foot (that fat part North of your toes but South of your arch). Write this down. Mine is 8.5 inches, so we'll use that.

You want your socks to fit nice and tightly, and knitting stretches, so make your sock a little smaller than your foot measurement. Multiply your measurement by 0.9. Presto, no more floppy socks. (I get a finished measurement of 7.65 inches, which we'll fudge to 7.7.)

Now use your gauge to figure out how many stitches you'll need in your sock. 7.7 inches at 10 stitches per inch comes out to 77 stitches. We want an even number here, so I'll round it to 76.

This is my short-row toe. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Now we know that we need 78 stitches around our sock. Well, a short-row toe is worked flat, so we'll only need half that, leaving us to cast on 38 stitches. For your toe, you'll only be using 2 of your 5 DPNs.

Use the provisional cast-on you like best. Two simple ones are to crochet a chain and pick up and knit stitches from the chain, or to use a regular cast-on in a waste yarn, then knit the second row in your "real yarn". Either way, your provisional cast-on should always be in a different yarn than your project yarn, so it will be easy to find and pull out later.

You'll now be working short rows to make your toe into a nice pocket. I like to use the wrap and turn method, but you might be more comfortable with a different one. If so, that's fine too!

Starting with Row 1, knit until there is one stitch left on your left needle. Wrap and turn.
On Row 2, purl until 1 stitch left. Wrap and turn.
Row 3: Knit until there are two stitches left. Wrap the first stitch and turn.

Repeat these rows, wrapping a new stitch every time, until half the stitches are left unwrapped in the middle of the row (for me, 19). Now we'll be picking the wrapped stitches back up and working them to make our toe.

Row 1: Knit until you get to the first wrapped stitch. Slip it to your left needle. Use the right needle to pick up the wrap, and slip both the wrap and the stitch back to the right needle. Knit the stitch and wrap together. Wrap the next stitch (it is now double-wrapped) and turn.
Row 2: Slip 1, purl until you get to the first wrapped stitch. Pick up the wrap and purl it together with the stitch, just like before. Double-wrap the next stitch and turn.
Row 3: Slip 1, K to the first double-wrapped stitch. Slip it to your left needle. Pick up both wraps with your right needle, and slip the stitch back to your right needle. Knit both wraps together with the stitch. Double-wrap and turn.
Row 4: Slip 1, P to the first double-wrapped stitch. Pick up both wraps and purl them together with the stitch, as in Row 3. Double-wrap and turn.

Repeat Rows 3-4 until there is one double-wrapped stitch left on each end. You'll work these after joining in the round.

To join, unravel your provisional cast-on. Pick up the new "live" stitches, and divide all your stitches so there is an equal number on each of your 4 DPNs.

Now just start knitting in the round. When you get to the double-wrapped stitches in the first round, pick up the wraps and knit them together with the stitch. After this round, you don't have to worry about them anymore.

This is important: Measure the length of your toe! You'll need this later to figure out how long your sock should be before you turn the heel. Mine usually come to about 1.5 inches.

Does it fit?
After knitting an inch or so, stop and try on your toe. Does it fit? Great, keep going! If not, you just made a swatch. Unravel it, and start back at the beginning with a smaller or larger needle.

The Foot
Now it's time to figure out how long the foot of your sock should be. Measure your foot from the tip of your longest toe to the back of your heel. Now subtract the measurement of your short-row toe. This is how long you need to knit before turning the heel. My foot is 8.5 inches long, minus 1.5 gives me 7 inches.

When you get to the right length, you'll start knitting your short-row heel. Decide which side of the sock you want to be the top, and which side will be the bottom. Knit across the top of the foot, but not the bottom. Your heel will be worked only on the bottom stitches, ignore the top for now.

Better than Achilles
Your heel will be worked exactly like your toe was! Repeat those instructions, doing short-rows down to half the number of stitches, and back up to the full number.

When you finish your heel, resume knitting in the round. The hard part is over, now all you have to do is finish the leg.

She's Got Legs
The leg of your sock can be worked however you like: all stockinette, a ribbing pattern, or stockinette with ribbing at the top. Having at least some ribbing will help your sock stay up instead of bunching at your ankle.

Finish the leg of your sock however you like, and bind off. You'll need a stretchy bind-off, or you won't be able to get it over your foot! I like the sewn bind-off explained at the bottom of this page.

Voila! You're done. Now all you need is a second sock.

This pattern definitely isn't the end-all be-all sock pattern. It's merely what works best for me. To get your perfect socks, I recommend trying it a few times with different modifications until you come up with your own "Sock Style".

Happy knitting!

These damn socks have been cursed from the get-go.

Seriously, I think the LYS that the yarn and needles were purchased at is built on an ancient Native American burial ground, or something similarly spooky. I honestly would not be surprised at all.

The first sock went off without a hitch. I can't even remember having to rip back once. I should have known right then that something was too good to be true. I bound off, and went on to the second sock.

First, a DPN broke for no apparent reason, as I was just knitting along in the middle of the row. Whatever, these things happen, maybe the wood just had a weak spot in it. I asked for a replacement from Brittany, which turned into all sorts of waiting around.

Finally, I got the replacement needle and started knitting again. The sock traveled with me a lot for a few weeks, to class and even on vacation to ski in New York with my family. All seemed well.

Then, on the return flight, I started to notice something was wrong. I was running out of yarn way too quickly. My ball seemed to go from a nicely-sized mass to something the size of a tangerine way too quickly. As you've probably guessed, I ran out of yarn. Two inches from the top of the sock. Yeah, it sucks.

I've been trying to track down the yarn (Online Supersocke 100, from the Afrika collection, colorway 996), and it seems impossible. None of my local stores have it, and anyway, it seems to be a bit wasteful to buy an entirely new skein to use less than 100 yards.

So right now, I'm staring at these, and wishing I had the magical ability to stretch my yarn.

Damn Indian burial grounds.

Another FO down: my months-old Sidewinders. Some of you might remember when I started these and knit the first sock-- way back in August! The half-finished second sock sat in my WIP box for ages, and tonight I decided I wasn't going to stand for it anymore.

These socks look and feel great. I messed up the grafting on the second sock, so it looks a bit bunchy on the back and is slightly shorter than the other one, but I was planning on wearing these with jeans most of the time, so it won't show. They fit my feet just about perfectly!

I can't remember what the yarn is. Some cheap knitted-tube sport weight from Wal-Mart. It was one of those times when I saw the pattern and needed to knit it NOW, you know? I actually couldn't be happier with the yarn. It has a nice smooth texture, and feels cool to the touch--perfect for hot Florida weather.

These socks are inspired by Grumperina's Jaywalker. The overall design comes out similar, but the construction is very different.

They're worked toe-up using short-row heels and toes, with a modified stitch pattern. They have ribbed instep shaping for a good fit and arch support.

They have finished measurements of 10.5" in length with a 9" circumference, and will stretch to fit up to 11" circ and 11.5" length. They'll fit a shoe size of 10-12 men's.

These particular socks are a gift, so no pictures of them on a foot until the recipient gets them. I'll try to have them up by the end of the week.

The pattern was corrected as of 8 AM today, but if you printed or saved the pattern before this time, you should make a new copy.

Thank you to merely911 of Ravelry for pointing out my mistake!

I've been scrambling to finish my holiday knitting, and BAD THINGS have been happening.

Even with the support of the Ravelry group Procraftination, I'm still managing to avoid getting things done.

I've cut back my gift projects to two (Skywalker socks for Y and a Fun Fur scarf for my sister), rather than worry about two more pairs of socks for my parents. The Skywalkers are almost done, with only an inch of ribbing to go on the second sock, and I haven't started the scarf yet, since it will hopefully only take a few hours.

A few more things going on...

For Sale or Trade



I'd like to destash this yarn, it's been sitting around for ages and I can't think of anything I'd like to do with it.

Yarn brand/name: Needful Yarns Kabir
Weight: Bulky
How much? 1 skein, 70 yds.
Fiber content: 50% wool/50% acrylic
Colors: Shades of green, khaiki

Made in Italy, an interesting thick-and-thin yarn to play with.

Retail value: $7-$9, I'm asking $8 including shipping within the continental US. Ask about prices for international shipping.

I'd also like to trade it for something of similar value. I've been meaning to try the KnitPicks Essentials sock yarns, and I always need hooks and needles. Make an offer!

See that? It's a broken DPN, and the reason I haven't made any progress on my basketweave socks in weeks. I thought I'd have to buy a new set of needles, but someone on the Ravelry forums told me Brittany will generally replace broken needles for free! I sent an email a couple of days ago. I haven't gotten a response yet, but hopefully I will soon so I can get on with the knitting!


In the meantime, I've been working on a new pair of socks. It's a total re-write of Grumperina's Jaywalker pattern, applying a similar stitch pattern to a different sock. I'm calling them Skywalkers. There's a lot more info about them on their Ravelry project page (Socks for Great Justice), but I'm holding off on posting the actual pattern until I have both finished.

Here's a technical preview:
They're big! They should fit a men's size 10-12, or a women's 12-14.
They're toe-up! It's easy to make sure if you have enough yarn left over for the second sock.
They're more zig-zaggy! I modified the stitch pattern so the zigzags are more pronounced.
They have shaping! Ribbing on the instep keeps them fitting well, especially if you have a high arch.
They're crew-height! Great for people who don't wear dress socks.
They have short-row toes and heels! Nice-looking, sturdy, and easy to do.


Two weeks ago, I went to the Orlando Needlework Convention at the Orange County Convention Center. It was held along with a scrapbooking show and a beading show, three in one. All of them were pretty impressive, though I was a little disappointed that there were so few vendors selling yarn.

I did pick up some spinning goodies from one of the quilting booths (Boutique 4 Quilters Inc)...

Top to bottom: 30 silk cocoons (0.5 oz), 1 oz Colonial Top roving in Koala, 1 oz Colonial Top roving in Slate

I spun up a little of the Koala, it's so soft, pretty, and easy to work with. Nice long staple length too, without being too long. It's only one spindle-full so far, about 23 yards. Mostly DK to worsted-weight, with a few thinner spots. I'm thinking of plying it together with the Slate.


Silk-processing has been an adventure so far. I managed to degum the cocoons with some help from Worm Spit, and ended up with this fine mess of a thing:

I don't have any carders yet, but I did pick it apart a bit to untangle the fibers and see what the fiber comes out like. Nice! I think I'll like spinning this, once I get it out of "poofy tangled cloud" stage.

Of course, all of this spinning has a purpose! It's going into a portfolio project I'm working on. More on that to come later, or get a sneak preview photo in Ravelry.

I finally got around to writing up a full pattern for my Ribbed Cable Socks (before I had only posted the stitch pattern).

You can see it here, please ask if you have any questions, and let me know if I made a mistake!
http://saltwaterpurls.blogspot.com/2007/06/socks-are-finished.html

Pattern for these socks will be available as soon as I finish one! They're going to be knee-high with ribbing at the top. Stockinette on the soles and basketweave on the top of the foot and the leg.

They are my first project post on Ravelry, which I was just invited to today. It is so cool so far!

My username is Jillie, please add me as your friend. I will start posting projects on there soon!
