She is over is in UK and dyes up some gorgeous yarn.<br /><br />I am enamored by the stripes. I find myself thinking, "I am going going to knit to the end of this stripe then stop, but I keep knitting.<br /><br />I am also giving the after-thought heel a try. I will be using the Knitgirllls tutorial for it. I have already knitted one after thought heel, and was kind of iffy whether I liked it or not (that is more an issue with the yarn I was using at the time).<br /><br />For those that are not familiar with the after thought heel, here is a brief explanation.<br /><br />As you are knitting your sock, regardless if it is cuff down or toe up, when you come to the point where you would start the process for your heel. you knit across half your stitches with waste yarn, then you go back to your working yarn and continue knitting the rest of your sock. When you go back to do the heel, you work a little magic and basically decrease like you would the toe of a sock.<br /><br />My problem is that I can not wrap my head around is the placement of the waste yarn. Meh, no biggie, i will figure it out eventually. or have someone draw a line on my foot to tell me where it needs to go.<br /><br />Now, go buy some yarn!

I tried many patterns and as always, I fall back to the No purl Monkey sock.<br /><br /><br />I am doing some stealth knitting, more details on that when I can talk about it and show it off. <br /><br />I am ignoring lace right now. I attempted knitting more and that..... did not go well. Meh.<br /><br />But at least I have a new pair of socks to add to the collection!</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18283427185480017191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2771926156964613005.post-17369598436401828852011-02-25T01:28:00.002-05:002011-02-25T01:29:02.323-05:00Ode to Jitterbug<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/knitkimberknit/4927551159/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4100/4927551159_6d2fca5f1b_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /></a><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-size:0.9em;" ><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/knitkimberknit/4927551159/">Jitterbug update </a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/knitkimberknit/">knitkimberknit</a></span></div>How I love thee.<br /><br />Your bright colors,<br />your heavenly scent,<br />makes me sigh with glee.<br /><br />Each skein I score<br />A personal victory I win.<br /><br />Darker skeins, I love you too.<br />Each skein has a purpose<br />and that is to be mine.<br /><br /><br /><br />So I am on a personal mission to own a skein of each colorway of Jitterbug by <a href="http://www.colinette.com/categories/yarns/jitterbug/?page=1&sort=newest">Colinette Yarns</a>.

I have worked on some charity hats, lots of socks, and... wait for it., A Lace scarf that is finished! Hooray!<br /><br />What is going on in my world:<br /><br />Work is picking up, spring time is always busy.<br /><br />I am spinning a lot, working through the fiber stash. It's so hard to decide what to spin next. <br /><br />I have a ton of 2nd socks on the needles. I seem to finish a sock, and pick the the needles and cast on for a 2nd sock for a completely different pair. I like that I am working hard on finishing up these sad socks that need a mate.<br /><br />Lastly, I am going to be adding some links to the blog of some video podcasts of the knitting variety I enjoy. If you have any, let me know, I would love to try some new ones.<br clear="all" />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18283427185480017191noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2771926156964613005.post-44338250874942574412011-01-05T02:59:00.003-05:002011-01-05T03:12:23.857-05:00Happy New year!<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/knitkimberknit/5314977034/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5245/5314977034_c5878fdf60_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /></a><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-size:0.9em;" ><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/knitkimberknit/5314977034/">Happy New year!</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/knitkimberknit/">knitkimberknit</a></span></div>I hope all of my friend's had a wonderful time ringing in the New Year! I spent New Year's Eve in St. Augustine watching fireworks up close in person for the first time in over 15 years. It was very pretty!<br /><br />I was thinking of goals I would like to accomplish this year and thought I would share them with you.<br /><br />I am going to do two self induced clubs, a Lace/Shawl club and a Sock club. I have picked the patterns for the Lace/Shawl club and this weekend I will pick yarn for it. I will also be selecting patterns and yarn for the Sock Club. When I remember the patterns I will share them along with the yarn.<br /><br />What else is new with me, back at the gym. Meh.<br /><br />I am counting down the minutes until the new Jacksonville Rollergirl season starts. I looooooooooooooooooooove me some Roller Derby. love love love love love love it. Did I mention I love it?<br /><br />See you kids later this weekend with pictures and patterns.

Snoopy, my cohort in crime was bribed with cookies so I could get some pictures.<br /><br />This was knit longwise, it didn't take too long but I am not a monogamous knitter. It used two skeins of 220 and was great for tv knitting when I couldn't stand to knit on tiny sock needles. <br /><br />On a personal note, I am a little under the weather (fighting stomach flu/ or possible food poisoning) so I am going to wish everyone a great weekend now!<br /><br />ps. I am super proud of Jen, Shevon & Brenda for doing a sprint triathlon last weekend. I can't swim and never ever ask me to get onto a bike.

And my beloved Aunt Lisa who passed away fighting this disease. <br /><br />Officially my time was 60 minutes and 56 seconds. However, the ever handsome Jacksonville Sheriff's Officers had stopped us so the 2K could start, we were almost done! I say my time was 56 minutes, according to my math skillz. <br /><br />I look forward to running this next year, I did learn that I need to practice more incline/decline running.<br clear="all" />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18283427185480017191noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2771926156964613005.post-63233637574989752752010-10-22T11:41:00.001-04:002010-10-22T11:41:07.392-04:00PinBall !<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/knitkimberknit/4936348663/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4117/4936348663_f23388c932_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/knitkimberknit/4936348663/">PinBall !</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/knitkimberknit/">knitkimberknit</a></span></div>This is my current favorite pastime.

I was able to have him pose with a lot of teasing of treats. <br /><br />Mo's likes: Chasing crickets, vanilla ice cream, Ruffles chips, kisses, belly rubs and chasing squirrels.<br /><br />Mo's dislikes: a late dinner time, missing naps, turtles and toys out of his reach. <br /><br />Currently he can sit when asked and we are working very hard on Shake.
