because some things have to be said with words
I’m not sure how so much knitting, spinning and weaving sneaked into this studio blog. There’s a place for everything, and this content has a new home.
tromp as writ is my new blog for all things weaving and fiber arts. When I’m back in my art studio, I’ll post more studio notes here.
See? I finished Nina’s socks and gave them to her this evening. Not because it’s Christmas or Chanukah. Simply because they are done. They are knit in a simple lacy rib using the 6 Stitches Per Inch Sock pattern in Ann Budd’s Getting Started Knitting Socks. The yarn is Noro Silk Garden Sock.
Gregory’s socks are off to a good start. Hopefully he will have them before winter is over. The pattern is Harris Tweed by Ali Green, and the yarn is Silkie Socks that Rock in the Corbie colourway. This yarn is marvelous. It’s silky and soft, and has good elasticity.
I have a half dozen skeins of sock yarn from Rhinebeck. The next pair is going to be for me.

In honor of the first snow of the season, I’ve turned on the snow machine here in the studio.
