This hank of yarn (Lorna’s Laces Devon) will eventually become….

…socks (Twist of Denim).

I seem to be the first person trying this pattern on Ravelry, so I hope they turn out.

Ps. Happy Birthday, Dad!

TH’s birthday is in April and TH likes fruit loops, so it only seemed fitting that I make Fruit Loop socks in April. Prism Saki yarn in the Plum Dandy colorway is gorgeous. The socks were not quite finished in April, but that doesn’t make me love them any less.

I have a habit of saying “I never…” right before I’m forced to eat my words.
I never make mittens.

For some reason, putting my fingerless mitts in my ficus for a photo made me think of Twilight (spider monkeys!) and yes, I did dust the entire plant right after this photo.
I never make shawls, prefer to call it a wrap.


I never make socks.


Could not have been more wrong about that one….now I’m considering socks to match the mittens.
Perhaps I should say something like I never knit orcas and then the world would soon have a lovely knitted killer whale!
