Allie Knits Away: The short and winding road
http://allieknitsaway.blogspot.com/2007/05/short-and-winding-road.html
Thoughts on how it all knits together, at home and on the road, and back from a long road trip. Sunday, May 13, 2007. The short and winding road. Think I'm going to run out of yarn? I don't know how this is happening; except that I clearly have less yarn than I thought! Of course, I only have ONE SKEIN of this Trekking XXL 126, which I was so excited to find on EBay just a few weeks back. For which I have finally wound up a beautiful skein of "Popsicle" from Fleece Artist. A few of my favorite things.

Allie Knits Away: It's a boy! (Help!)
http://allieknitsaway.blogspot.com/2007/05/its-boy-help.html
Thoughts on how it all knits together, at home and on the road, and back from a long road trip. Wednesday, May 09, 2007. Pal, that is! This is a challenge for me. Not because I worry about knitting for big feet (mine are plenty big, I'm used to it), nor because I have not knit socks for men before (husband and brother in law among them), but because I feel like sockapaloooza socks should be interesting, different, not your basic 2x2 rib, anyway! Any ideas for good, interesting patterns. And a few more!

Allie Knits Away: Done!
http://allieknitsaway.blogspot.com/2007/07/done.html
Thoughts on how it all knits together, at home and on the road, and back from a long road trip. Sunday, July 29, 2007. Yeah, here they are! I didn't trust myself to wait until for better weather for the "phot shoot"- the color is so much deeper and truer in person)! I know I haven't posted lately, but I really have been knitting! Socks- well, I thought they might be the end of me! They have been variously known as "the socks that wouldn't end," the "why didn't I just make Thuja's. So the socks are done (...

Allie Knits Away: August 2006

Thoughts on how it all knits together, at home and on the road, and back from a long road trip. Tuesday, August 29, 2006. The real cost of second sock syndrome. Help, my foot is cold, help Daddy's toes are cold (please graft me)! Here is my one and only "Pirate Sock" (aka Skull Sock of Fury. I think I should start paying the guy who designed them, aka Bobby Ziegler. Royalties, I knit the pattern so much) variation, at a nice tight gauge on nice small needles, with nice self-.

Allie Knits Away: I feel lucky...
http://allieknitsaway.blogspot.com/2007/05/i-feel-lucky.html
Thoughts on how it all knits together, at home and on the road, and back from a long road trip. Wednesday, May 23, 2007. My new yarn came in after my recent shortage experience. And it was the same dyelot and everything! So I have been knitting like mad and finished my neopolitan socks tonight! The stripes don't match, but I really don't mind it. And I have to give a plug for this " Belle Maman" sock pattern. And jumping back in with my Fleece Artist from my last sock debacle. A few of my favorite things.

Thoughts on how it all knits together, at home and on the road, and back from a long road trip. Tuesday, May 29, 2007. Here they are, a cute little pair of Crusoe. Anklets, knit for my youngest out of the beautiful fleece artist that I so unceremoniously unravelled after its last mis-adventure. I altered the pattern a little bit- did an eye of partridge heel, since it had looked so good last time! It's that cursed gauge thing, no doubt! I am going to make for Sockapalooza. More on that soon. It was a rea...

Allie Knits Away: Done (in)!
http://allieknitsaway.blogspot.com/2006/04/done-in.html
Thoughts on how it all knits together, at home and on the road, and back from a long road trip. Tuesday, April 04, 2006. My Sockapaloooza socks are done! Okay, I did pull several almost all nighters to finish these, but hey, there is almost a month to go before the deadline. What can this mean? Could it mean a sea change in my life of adrenaline- fed high production marathons, could it mean less hysteria as a deadline approaches? Could it mean fewer fedex fees for last minute birthday gifts?

Allie Knits Away: The last socks of summer?
http://allieknitsaway.blogspot.com/2007/08/last-socks-of-summer.html
Thoughts on how it all knits together, at home and on the road, and back from a long road trip. Friday, August 10, 2007. The last socks of summer? I hope not, actually (last socks, that is). It is finally vacation time around our house, and we are heading out to the beach (yes, it's 103 in the shade, but at least we'll be close to water! I now head off with a car full of bathing suits, sand toys, and of course, yarn and needles enough for a month- you never know! A few of my favorite things.

Allie Knits Away: June 2007

Thoughts on how it all knits together, at home and on the road, and back from a long road trip. Monday, June 04, 2007. Sockapalooza update: It's not too late. I have the yarn, I have a pattern selected, I have a sockpal's preferences firmly in mind, and I think I am (finally) ready to go. I know it seems like it took a while for me to get started, but there seemed like there were sooooo many decisions this time. I love Sockapalooza. From an Etsy Shop called Fearless Fibers. I might shorten them a bit; no...

Thoughts on how it all knits together, at home and on the road, and back from a long road trip. Wednesday, August 29, 2007. Sleeping socks for saying goodbye. At last, a completed pair of these socks- one of the sleeping socks patterns from Nancy Bush's Knitting Vintage socks. I actually started these last summer. I also started a pair of socks with this cool new Crystal Palace "Maizy". Yarn made from corn. I'm adapting the pattern and will post more on that one soon. Happy knitting, all. Socks were wait...
