Knit One, Purl Too: A Knitlog

There are some people who think a handknit is appropriate for every gift-giving occasion - I, sadly, am not one of them, because if I committed to that philosophy, I would do nothing but knit gifts for others. And yet? I broke my own rule last week when I whipped out this little [...]

I also got some book by these two knitters who like to make dishcloths and are fond of Rowan - you might have heard of it? Two cowgirls on the cover and log cabin knitting inside?

If you’re going to buy only one sock book this year…who am I kidding? No one stops with just one sock book….

I love my SockaPal2za socks, I loved knitting socks for my sock pal, but I want to wear a finished sweater in the worst way, man.

We are all about the small knitting victories here at Knit One, Purl Too. And, sock pal? I think you’re getting Koigu - nothing’s too good for you!

I am all about the small gestures, which is why I heart Laurie and her lovely gift of sock yarn. P.S. Opal, I was wrong about you - I think we’re going to have a beautiful future together.

Everything was going along smoothly until I, um, tried the sock on. It’s about an inch too small; I can get it over my ankle, but as they say in the South, “it’s like stuffing ten pounds of sugar in a five pound bag.”

“Knitted together, we stay together, no matter how angry you get at the dog” appears to be the Magic Stripes motto.

*Who has categorically declared that he will wind no more Cherry Tree Hill Supersock for me - I am on my own if I buy more because it is “the most tangle-prone yarn ever.” Don’t take it personally Supersock.
