Secret Confessions of a Closet Knitter: Oops I Did It Again
http://knittinginsecret.blogspot.com/2011/06/oops-i-did-it-again.html
Secret Confessions of a Closet Knitter. Sunday, June 12, 2011. Oops I Did It Again. I blame it all on Tina. I had just put away my latest batch of yarn purchases, and was thinking virtuous thoughts about not buying any sock yarn for a while, and Tina from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. Put up a blog post about some of the STR colourways going on vacation. There were a few that I thought would be nice for gift socks and socks for me, so I put in an order for a few (seven! This is what arrived this week. Finish sle...

Secret Confessions of a Closet Knitter: May 2011
http://knittinginsecret.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Secret Confessions of a Closet Knitter. Sunday, May 8, 2011. You have been warned. I have just discovered the knitting equivalent of The Red Shoes. These socks were for mum's Mother's Day present this year. In fine tradition (and in accordance with my habit of deadline knitting) these were finished the night before they were due to be gifted. Mum loved them though, and put them on right away. My dad was actually disappointed that they weren't for him, as he'd been admiring the colours. Duration: Started ...

The Anti-Knitting-Graffiti Manifesto – web-goddess. Logo by Matt Hinrichs. Theme by Anders Norén. July 16, 2009. This one’s been percolating for a while. After all, I’ve been writing about my annoyance with this “movement” for three years now. Now the founder of “Knitta Please” is visiting Australia. I’ve since been told that this isn’t necessarily the case. Please see Alasdair’s excellent comment below.). 1) This shows exactly how “subversive” graffiti knitting is.

Secret Confessions of a Closet Knitter: November 2011
http://knittinginsecret.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Secret Confessions of a Closet Knitter. Sunday, November 6, 2011. Cables Are My Friend. I'd never really been a big fan of cables before - they always seemed too hard and complicated. I'd completed the odd pair of Fetchings here and there, but never really got what the fuss was all about. Then Camp Loopy happened, and my whole attitude towards cables changed. For the uninitiated, Camp Loopy was the invention of Sheri from The Loopy Ewe. Yarn: Hazel Knits Artisan Sock. Pattern: BFF Socks by Cookie A.

Secret Confessions of a Closet Knitter: Rare Gems Loot
http://knittinginsecret.blogspot.com/2010/01/rare-gems-loot.html
Secret Confessions of a Closet Knitter. Saturday, January 23, 2010. Recently I was lucky enough to buy some of the Blue Moon Fiber Arts/Socks That Rock Rare Gems. I've lusted after these for years. But as Tina usually only sells them at the U.S. fibre shows, I figured my chance of ever scoring one of the elusive skeins was nought to zero at best. I chose one skein each of lightweight and mediumweight in the elements of Air and Water, and overall I'm impressed with what I received. I'm a 30 something knit...
