Daily fiber therapy - the confessions of a knitting geek.

The state of the Jaywalker.
I'm some sort of knitting idiot savant. Twice in the past two days, I've said, "Hey, I should stop here. It's getting to the point where I have to do something and I need to make sure it matches the first one," and I've stopped at exactly the right spot. I swear, they'll make a movie out of me.

Here is Jaywalker sock #1:



And Jaywalker sock #1 and his fraternal twin:



(Please forgive any mess/unsuitable background. Not that I ever have a really good background for my knitting - although I'm partial to my awesome couch - I feel the need to explain that it looks like a junk monster exploded over the house, and there aren't many surfaces that are a) flat and b) clean enough to pose some knitting. Also, I fear for my knitting's life whenever it gets to dog- and cat-level, which limits my choices.)

They don't match, but who needs matching when you can have wild 'n' crazy?

Mucho coolness.
The We Call Them Pirates hat now has matching mittens: check 'em out! (Now I don't have to come up with a pattern myself.) Visit the main free pattern page for something even cooler: a generic Norwegian mitten chart. Imagine the possibilities!

I have spent all day in a slight state of giddiness because I decided to knit that fancy ol' sweater. I could be the hugest geek in the world.
