Inlay Knitalong
To celebrate Inlay, I'm having a little bit of a knitalong. I'm doing it over in the Silk Road Socks group. I realized I wanted to make these socks when I was doing the research for that book. I saw all the gorgeous floors peeking out from under the rugs and filed away the idea of doing a pattern based on the fancy tile work. Inlay was the result. So I'm totally declaring it ok to host the knitalong in the same place. Now, if you're the sort who wants to make exactly the sock in the picture, I can [...]
Book Yarn, Part II
Hey look, it's our friend Percival again. I am totally making him earn his keep. Fair disclosure, I set him up on the front porch and clicked through all of the various yarns one after the other.

This is a giant plastic file box from some [...]
In the Deep Dark Woods
Well not quite. These are actually the kind of woods I like. The kind with paved roads and air-conditioned cabins and screened-in porches and plumbing and beds. Civilized woods. Woods that have been carefully maintained to be convenient and comfortable. I don't have much use for the other sort of woods (the kind with wolves and tents and snakes and cliffs). I'm off at Salt Fork State Park with The Boy and his extended family. They've all been coming here every summer for decades, and it's become a much-loved tradition.
