Four-letter words

Sometimes a four-letter word is so offensive it has to be made into a five-letter word. This quality graffiti was added to my trip to work over the weekend:




More four-letter words are "knit" and "vest" - as in my new favourite item of clothing for the slightly warmer but still chilly Spring weather:



This is a pattern from the book Kate gave me for Christmas.


"Tim Tam" is not a four-letter word, but one of the local Aussies discovered them at the local supermarket. The packaging may have changed, but the bikkies are the same...

One sock pattern to rule them all

I'm finally getting around to posting my pet mega-geek sock pattern spreadsheet up on the webs - I call it "Obsession for socks", it can be downloaded here. I've been using this foundation pattern for a while now to construct toe-up socks on the fly without making a gauge swatch. I usually knit both socks at the same time so I don't have to make notes for the second sock.
