As you can see, I’m trying out wordpress… and my blog is very much under re-construction. Not everything is in place and I’m still trying understand it but hopefully, soon, I’ll get it to look the way I want.

I brought over the previous posts I made, but was unable to bring the comments along with it.
Thanks for stopping by… hopefully, I’ll have more knitting content very soon.

ttfn!

Another thing about this blog, I have a feeling it will be a temporary place until I find a format that I like. I would have waited, but Blogger was starting to frustrate me. But the URL, saffronknits.net will not change.

I started my socks last night and I am very pleased. I’m really only about 4 rows in, but I was able to tighten the stitched of figure-eight toe on the first try! WOO HOO! (No, it doesn’t take much to make my happy.

I read several blogs through out the week but there are two that I check on almost everyday. They are also the only ones I was compelled to check out the archives due to curiousity how these bloggers got to that point.

1. the blue blog – This was the first blog I discovered. I think it was through the pattern links at knittinghelp.com. I came to check out the free patterns and I stayed and read. My favorite project of hers is synchronicity.

2. Dave Daniel’s Cabin Cove – I love this blog. I don’t remember how I found it but it’s written by a cool guy with a really cool cat, Miss Lulu. Dave has a love of fiber and color and I love seeing where that love will take him next. And I didn’t have a stash until he started selling his hand-dyed yarn. One of my favorite posts is about hand-dyeing yarn.

Well, I’m gonna go work on my socks now.

ttfn!

Welcome to the new home of my knitting blog! A new name for a new year. (I never really liked the other one anyway. )

Here’s what I’ve been up to:

I’ve worked a little bit on my ribbed scarf:
(In cased you’ve forgotten, the pattern is here -PDF)

so… it’s a little bit longer. I like scarves … but for some reason I don’t enjoy knitting them.

I’ve also been crocheting as well:

Pattern is by Denise Black in the book 24-Hour Crochet Projects ed by Rita Weiss.

Now … my first goal of the year? Toe-up socks … again… holes or no holes in the heel. I mean…

I’ve got to use all that Cabin Cove sock yarn that is the majority of my stash, right?

Talk to you soon!!!
