Second Sock Saga

Posted on June 11th, 2009, by Nuri

Yesterday was a very slow day at work, so I got quite a bit of knitting done between that and waiting for my MMA class to begin. In fact, I stayed up late turning the heel on my second sock because I wanted to get through to the straight part of the leg. Naturally, I [...]

Rivulets Sock, part 1

Posted on June 10th, 2009, by Nuri

One sock down, one to go. I made significant modifications to the pattern, considering the gauge difference between yarn and pattern and the way my foot is shaped. I have pretty small feet, but my ankle and heel are fairly large. I took notes on the pattern changes, so I guess we’ll see if I [...]

I Have Been Remiss…

Posted on June 5th, 2009, by Nuri

…in announcing why I have been absent for two weeks!
I am moving from North Carolina to New York this year so that I can attend law school. Yes, they have law schools in North Carolina, but not the one I wanted to go to. So I am moving. Moving 12 hours away from your current [...]

Recycled…Sock Yarn?

Posted on May 15th, 2009, by Nuri

It’s fairly rare to discover a sweater that has the correct (in my opinion) fiber content and weight for sock yarn. Up until now, I have been of the opinion that sock yarn is the only yarn I am likely to buy new rather than recycle. I have been debating offering new skeins of hand-dyed [...]

Orange and Blue!

Posted on May 11th, 2009, by Nuri

The Fire In The Sky colorway is officially launched! I love the way these colors mix. This colorway has long runs of blue and orange separated by brief spurts of purple. I’m not usually a huge fan of the blue/orange combination, but I think this time it came out perfect!
My original inspiration for this colorway [...]

Fire in the Sky

Posted on May 5th, 2009, by Nuri

Here’s a picture of the yarn I dyed last week all wrapped up! This is actually the 4 skeins that I dyed all together, so it’s a pretty huge wad of yarn. It’ll be divided up individually, wrapped up prettily, and listed in the store very soon.
I love this colorway bunches! It’s going to be [...]

Ahhhh…Dye High

Posted on April 30th, 2009, by Nuri

Every now and again I get a craving to dye fiber, and I just don’t feel right until I do it. Lately with all the “disasters” and whatnot going on, the craving starting coming on again. I KNOW I’m supposed to be working on making shirts and jewelry to sell at cons, but it got [...]

New Spring Colors!

Posted on April 8th, 2009, by Nuri

It’s spring and everything is blooming outside. It’s the perfect time to make some bright spring colors! I’m not a huge fan of pastels, so my colors are pretty bright. I’ve got some gorgeous purple that I’ll be adding soon, too.
On the left we have Nuclear Bunny, a colorway of bright greens on a mix [...]

Socks on the Brain

Posted on March 30th, 2009, by Nuri

I really want to experiment with different techniques for knitting socks, but summer convention season is coming up. Since I also sell geekery-related items at anime/sci-fi cons, I have to put aside my obsessive knitting for a bit and focus on making stock for the other business. I have a little less than 2 months [...]
