Personal Knitting Herstory, Part I

I'm wearing these summery socks today as I write this. These are my lost socks.

Two posts in one day! That's unusual for me, especially this month. I found this on fluffy knitter Deb's blog. Consider yourself tagged if you want to perpetuate this meme.

bold for stuff you've done, italics for stuff you plan to do eventually and normal for stuff you don't intend to do ever unless you move to Alaska.

June 9th is once again WORLD WIDE KNIT IN PUBLIC DAY!!!!

I've been Remiss

It's been a busy few weeks, and the only posts I've made are the really easy ones, with almost nothing about knitting. I've been knitting all along, just not writing about it. I finished one of my Monkey socks and am halfway down the leg on sock two. The second sock should be finished this weekend, just in time to meet my 52 Pair Plunge goal of a finished pair every week. This is one of the easiest patterns I've ever knit and it looks so wonderful knitted up. Sorry for the terrible picture, more to come.

Unless I wanted to knit with sportweight yarn, I had to add an entire repeat to the pattern to enlarge it. Since the repeat was a huge 16 stitches, making a total of 80 stitches cast on, I tightened the gauge so the sock wouldn't be too large for even my fat ankles. I cast on 72 stitches with a 2.25 mm needle and knit my ribbing. On the first round of the pattern I increased 8 stitches evenly around. I knit 5 repeats of the pattern 9 times, lengthening the leg a little bit.

When I got to the heel I realized that since I had 5 repeats of the pattern, it would not divide evenly. It was at this point that I realized the error of my ways. I centered the heel over 2 repeats and knit my new favorite, the band heel. I tightened the gauge a little bit more (went down to a 2 mm needle) and knit the foot of the sock with 3 repeats of the pattern stitch on the instep (48 stitches) and 32 stitches on the sole in stockinette. At the toe I adjusted the markers so that the top and bottom had the same amount of stitches to do the decreases. I also ran out of yarn. Panic ensued. This is the same wonderful yarn Cookie A used in her sample sock, although I used a different color way. It's hand dyed, and I've had the yarn in my stash for several years. I should have known this might happen, given that I knit more repeats on the leg and added 16 stitches around, but I went blithely on knitting. A search of my stash revealed several possible substitutions to knit the toe with. Lorna's Laces semi solids are wonderful yarns in the same weight and subtle colors. I had periwinkle and denim blue, left over from other sock projects. I held both colors up to the SIP and the periwinkle looked more promising. 20 decrease rounds later and sock one was finished. I immediately cast on for sock two, not wanting to slow the momentum & miss meeting my goal. I'm about ready to turn the heel, so I will now return you to your regularly scheduled program and get back to knittng.
UPDATE: Sock two was finished Monday 5/7/07!

Thanks so much to Cookie for another wonderful sock pattern. The first time I knit one of her patterns it was the Pomatomus. I would recommend getting your feet wet with the Monkey socks before tackling the Pomatomus, but it is another pattern that is well worth the effort. Several more Cookie A patterns are on my short list of future sock projects.

Sunday Seven: A Baker's Dozen

Seven Things I'm thankful for this week:

1. Spring Sundays
   
2. Strong coffee
3. Free time to knit
   
4. Clean sheets
5. Costa Rica vacations
   
6. Family pot lucks
   
7. Fresh orange juice
   

Hooray it's Finally Friday

Let's have a feast!

Appetizer
How fast can you type?
I have passed a typing test at 45 words a minute but only because I have a photographic memory. I refused to take typing in school because I wasn't going to be a secretary. Many term papers (and blog entries) later, I sometimes regret my decision.
Soup
What is your favorite online game?
mahjong

Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 as highest), how intelligent do you think you are?
7

Main Course
Name three of your best teachers from your school years.
Mrs. (SuDee) Guichard, who took us to see the King Tut exhibit when I was in 3rd grade. I decided to become an Egyptologist right then and there.
Mr. Chavez, my civics teacher at Tamalpais High School (celebrating its 100th birthday next year.)
Joyce Gross, who taught me how to make quilts, appreciate their graphic presence and research their history.

Dessert
What are your plans for this upcoming weekend?
Postponed Easter brunch with family, knitting, gardening, shopping and cleaning

Sunday Seven Dozen

Seven things I'm grateful for this week:

1. Spring Showers overnight (we need the rain)
2. Bead stores online
   
3. Needle nose plyers
4. DD's who have a bead collection to die for
5. Color theory classes
6. Pack rat tendencies
7. Spring sunshine during the day

I spent this morning making beaded stitch markers for knitting. It was a lot of fun and I didn't want to stop but I ran out of head pins.

Knitting with Kids

I volunteer at a lunch time knitting group at the local middle school once a week. We have two boys and from 10-15 girls on a regular basis. This week was the first meeting after spring vacation, and we met in a new room, so there were only two students today. There were actually four, but two hadn't brought their projects. It was a good thing.

We had given most of them a little felted bag project to work on over the break. The group was started by a teacher at the school, and we have different helpers each week (mostly knitters who come to my weekly night time group.) The bag pattern we gave them has eyelets for a drawstring, so we showed them how they will be making the yarn overs. I showed them my Petticoat socks, which have lots of eyelets in a very defined pattern. I just looked at the pattern link and think I must have continued the pattern (a variation without the purls) down the instep of my own socks, because the pattern shows a stockinette instep and my feet show a patterned one.

I was sitting across the table from one girl, whom I had never helped before, so I could only see her knitting from the back. I had already helped her with the issue of yarn strands going down to the bottom of the rectangle and then going back up into the knitting. Since the bag will be felted, I said that it wouldn't be problem this time, but I showed her what she was doing wrong. We'll just cut off those loose strands! I also noticed that her knitting was really tight on the needles. She said she had tried to loosen up but it wasn't working. I was watching her knit from the back of her work, and I noticed that she was (trying to) knit into the back loop. The lightbulb went off. She was twisting every stitch and making it very hard for herself. I showed her how to knit into the front of the stitch (leading edge, as Merike Saarniit says). She left after knitting "just one more row" feeling much better and happy with her knitting.

The group has many low income students, so they have limited access to yarn and needles. When the group started the teacher had them all make their own needles from wooden dowels, and many knitters donated yarn (mostly acrylic). We were also given a very generous donation of yarn and needles by the US distributor for Garnstudio (her warehouse is right down the highway). I found a flat knitted bag pattern that uses worsted weight wool and size 10 US needles, and we had the right size needles from her donation for 10 knitters to make bags. The teacher bought some wool yarn at Michael's, and I wound each skein into two balls to make it go further. The variegated yarns were more popular than the solid colors (surprise surprise).

Tune in next week for the further adventures of Cunha School's lunchtime knitting group.

Hogwarts Sock Swap Questionnaire

I joined a new sock swap and have to post this questionnaire on my blog and also on the Hogwarts sock swap page. In anticipation of the new book coming out this summer, we've been assigned a swap partner and will make them socks in their house colors.

1. What Hogwarts house have you been sorted into? Ravenclaw

2. Shoe size? 8.5 wide (D)

3. Foot Length? 9.75 inches

4. Foot Circumference? the widest part of my foot measures 9.5 inches, but my ankle measures 11 inches

Would you like to try a new brand of needle? Of course! Actually, I almost always use a 12" ADDI turbo needle to knit my socks. I use the DPN's and sometimes 2 longer circs for the heels and toes.

If so, which brand? Lantern Moon Sox Stix Size? 2.5mm Length? 6” or Suzanne's ebony needles, same size and length. These are so smooth!

Knit Wiki Encyclopedia of Knitting

Thanks to a post on the socknitters list, I just discovered a new site to help knitters connect, learn and explore the world of knitting. It's a wiki: a free, user developed, online encyclopedia for knitting patterns, history, stitches, links and connections. I've put a link to the site in my sidebar and hope every knitter will visit, enjoy the site and contribute. The developer of the site is Sarah Bradberry, who devotes much of her time to enhancing the information available free to knitters on the Internet, and to archiving and making available vintage knitting patterns. Look for the KnitWiki button on the right. Thanks, Sarah, for all your hard work.

I spent some time writing a little article about mosaic knitting for the Wiki instead of working on my new sock madness sock. I got the pattern today at 2:00 PST. May the best knitter win!
