Argyle socks!

February 26th, 2008

I have finished Anthony’s Argyles!  I swear something in my body was programed to do argyle, because it was super fun, and not nearly as hard as I had thought it would be.

I used Knit Picks Essential, one ball of dusk, and hardly any of the red and green.  These would be a great project for some of those little leftovers.  Plus you could do a pair with one small skein of sock yarn.  You know, that expensive yarn you haven’t splurged on yet because the thought of buying two skeins is just hard.  At least I thought of that immediately.

These socks ended up shorter, but I would have had enough yarn to make another repeat of the diamonds.  They fit very nicely, and of course I threatened to keep them for myself while I was making them.  This has become somewhat of a routine while I make Anthony’s socks.   Since we have the same size feet and all.

I used the moth heaven’s tutorial to start out with.  I looked at her chart, but made it for larger needles and smaller feet (or loose knitter depending on how you look at it).  I’ll be sure to post the chart soon.  I’ve already started my February pair of socks, but they’ll have their own post.  Here’s a hint, tons of teeny tiny twisted stitches.  Lots of fun!

Chocolate Yummies

February 17th, 2008

I haven’t been blogging much and it’s not because of lack of content, I just haven’t had time!  I’ve had lots of little student violin performances the last few weeks, which has been fun, but has eaten up my usual catch up time on the weekend.  Thank goodness I don’t teach tomorrow morning.  I need a little more R & R.

Last month (yes I have been wanting to blog this for two weeks now) I made this awesome chocolate fudge cake that I got from Laural over at thimble.  It was so easy, and a lot of fun.  You make the batter, put it in the pan and then pour hot water over the batter before it goes into the oven.

It was delicious and will definitely become a regular around these parts.  Check out the recipe here.  I think it would be great to make with kids and doesn’t last long in any household.   That’s all for now, but I have knitting to show you, and gardening season has begun!

New Toys and Adventures

February 16th, 2008

Look at what got delivered today! Yes Ella and I both fit in the sidecar, together. It has a trunk (just enough for camping gear!) and is going to be super fun. I don’t get tor ride for awhile though, because Anthony needs to be super comfortable before I jump in. Plus I need a helmet.

Check out Anthony’s new side car blog, Ride Three.
