Too quiet…that’s what this blog has been. It seems like I’m in sort of rut life-wise, daily-wise, health-wise. Nothing crazy, I’ve just been feeling a little out of sorts lately and I think a trip to the doctor’s office is warranted. Seeing that I’m not too crazy about seeing the doctor, let’s talk about knitting. My first ever sock is done and I’m so pleased!! This is for the UAE Knitters Sock KAL that has been ongoing. The pattern I’m using is Dublin Bay… Read more »

Zap Your Sock Phobia
The quickest way to zap sock phobia is to get together with a bunch of friendly knitters and cast on for socks -TOGETHER!! That’s exactly what a few of us from the UAE Knitters Ravelry Group did this past Friday afternoon. It was wonderful getting together with these wonderful women and no two people in the group were from the same country – that’s knitting diversified…AMAZING!!!! We had Jocelyn, Hala (who was sweet enough to make the two hour drive… Read more »

All the smugness about that heel business was just the pre-cursor to all things… Read more »

My favorite part was the heel and then turning the heel – loved it!!!! (I’m too lazy to haul out the camera for progress shots and so that will have to be for… Read more »
Sock saga
That was a long blogging break. Who knew that a case of acute sinusitis could impede pretty much everything – even simple tasks like bending down to tie my shoelaces. But, I’m doing better now and thank you to everyone who sent me get-well-soon emails and comments:) Back on my needles is my TTL Mystery Socks🙂 It’s no longer a mystery since that KAL has long been completed. I’m determined to try and finish these socks and I have to report… Read more »
Firsts
There’s something wrong with this picture… I am knitting socks!!! I’m using DPNs to knit these socks!!! Isn’t this the Sandlands where it’s perpetual flip-flops weather??? Isn’t knitting in the round with size 2 DPNs just like a game of pick-up-sticks (a game that I suck at, let me add)??? I’ll let you know what happens once I’m done knitting the cuff. Let me tell you, small circumference knitting with so many sticks involved is scary stuff!! Any… Read more »
