It was the first pair of socks I ever knit, and then I went and engineered a pair that had mirrored scallops---my most proud knit to date. The whole Mermaid/Nereid fingerless mitts done up with the Pomatomus scallops was definitely ... http://pepperknit.com/blog/archives/475 I hate having secret knitting in the works, because really, if you can't blog it, is it worth it? I just spent a bit of time knitting something for a designer, and I hope I'll be able to share it with you when it's made public. Not taking a single ... http://pepperknit.com/blog/archives/473 Anne-Marie, Sit 'n' Knit New York's fearless leader, organized on helluva sock swap for the group.

Unfortunately, it's due to be rainy and chilly today. It's so nice to have photos, isn't it? http://pepperknit.com/blog/archives/466 I might not be a vegetarian, but I'm definitely aware of my eco-footprint. I might actually be one of those people who get smug satisfaction in the fact that I have never owned a car, that I walk or take public transportation (very rarely ride in cabs), that I recycle, ... http://pepperknit.com/blog/archives/465
