Happy Valentine’s Day

a sock in the shape of a heart awwwww

The embossed leaf sock would like to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day.

One Bloomin’ Sock down, one to go! No pressure, they don’t have to be finished until March.

Olympic Knitting? I got that:

After one false start – Do you know anyone who can wear a mobius hat? Me neither. Shake it off, Emily, shake it off. – the Olympic Knitting is going well. I am trying to pace myself and avoid an early injury. My left hand isn’t used to having to do anything but hold the appropriate needle. It seems happy to be more involved in the process, but a little stiff. Why the orange color scheme? My pea coat is orange, if you’ll recall, and I do like things to match. In a perfect world, I would be making the cute green and pink colorway (to go with my olive pea coat). I did re-chart the pattern to include elements that I liked from all three of the colorways.

In the thrilling conclusion to a month-long saga (the music soars) Yarn Miracle proudly presents: The Perfect Cardigan Meets It’s Match!

Happy Emily wearing the Evil Twin

I have worn it non-stop since Great Gran put the crochet around the neck. There is already a pull on the sleeve (you know where you can go, Mr. Mailbox, you rat). I have really really really missed wearing this sweater. I am so happy. The Perfect Cardigan is wrapped up and stored so that I’ll have it when I’m 80. This makes me happier still. I’m sentimental that way.
