Socks & Hats on Vacay time, and, although I’m not really designing any more, you can still win prizes for making projects in Knitted Wit’s yarn with my patterns, all summer long!

As I sit at my dining room table, looking outside at the lovely spring day, I am struck at how strange it is that we have been knee-deep in a global pandemic for over a year. This will be our second pandemic Summertime Sock Knitting Extravaganza, and we are ready for it! Every summer, from May through August, Knitted Wit …

Oooooh, this year. OOOOOOOH THIS YEAR. 2020 started out a certain way, and then, WHAM. It’s not the same year it was in January, I can tell you that. Even February, it seemed like it was going to be one way. But here we are in the unique hellscape that is the actual 2020, and there’s not much of an …

Ok, so I decided to share the actual socks I have in actual progress, too, in the hopes that it will inspire (guilt?) me into getting them worked on… My take-away message from this?

We had been cooking up a KAL for my newly-expanded and re-knitted Hazelwood sweater, pairing it with her amazeballs new Sport yarn, and we spent a good long while putting oodles of color …

It’s release day for my latest sock collection, Socks for Busy B’s 5, and I’m super stoked about it, partly because it also means it’s time for our 3rd (4th?) annual Socks on Vacay Summertime Sock Knitting Extravaganza! This year, because pandemic, we are adding a Socks on Staycay component, because that’s likely what we’ll be doing. So, grab your …

It’s that time of year again, time for the annual Socks on Vacay/Summertime Sock Knitting Extravaganza that Lorajean from Knitted Wit and I host! This year is very different, because we are living in a reality none of us could have forseen even a few short months ago. Because of the coronavirus/Covid-19/the pandemic we are currently experiencing, our collective summertime …
