I know it's not July yet but I just had to say HI!I love the socks in my last post, I just had to share Chuncho v.2Aren't these just beyond cool? And you can really see the Tocapas (animals)See?I figured this beautiful Peruvian pattern deserved to be on some genuine Peruvian feet so I knit a second pair for the P-Man's favorite gal, my next door neighbor, Giovana!I did love every stitch but I

Hi there!Remember me, I used to blog a loooooong time ago :)Things are pretty much SSDD here at Casa de FluffyKnitterDeb - still knitting, mostly socks, and still administering Sock Knitters Anonymous over on Ravelry and with over THIRTEEN THOUSAND MEMBERS (we're the fourth largest group on Ravelry!) it's like a full time job! I just thought I'd pop in and say hi because I do miss all my blog

Gah! It's been so long since I blogged I don't even know how to use Blogger anymore! :)So I'm still alive and kicking knitting but despite losing my blogging mojo I do still miss all my blog friends!Ravelry keeps me really busy - the group I administer, Sock Knitters Anonymous, is the third largest group on Rav and has almost 11,000 members!! Wowser!Anyway since y'all have been staring at my

Howdy Strangers!It's been so long since I've updated Knitbloglandia with the many, many socks I've been knitting I think the time has come!So as not to innudate my readers (the shock of frequent posting could kill the few that are left, hehe) I'll share them over the next few weeks, 2 at a time....Then as an added bonus, y'all can look forward to some regular kitteh beefcake too!And so we begin:

Hi all! I'm back and it's actually been less than a month since I last posted! I'll wait while y'all recover from the shock :)Thank you all for the lovely compliments on Mom's Lace and Ribs Tee! She's really happy with it too, she's already worn it three times! (which is more than I can say for some of my other handknits!)I also got so many nice compliments/inquires on my cross stitch sampler

What wonder you ask? Well here at Chez Blog de Fluffy, there is actually KNITTING to share....AND it's NOT SOCKS :)(of course socks will always be near and dear to my ♥ and there are a few of those to share but that's for a *future* post - hey! there's another "wonder" - plans for a future post for uber lax blogger, FKD, hehe)Anyways, yep it's true - finally a garment makes it's debut....I give

Thanks for giving the P-Man such a warm reception after such a lengthy absence...boy time does fly when all you do is eat, sleep, chase the occasional catnip mouse, sit on sunny window sills and look amazingly cute :)So while we wait for the Lace and Rib Tee to make it's debut I thought I would share a little long overdue, triumphant story with my long suffering standing readers at Chez FKD...For

Howdy Everybody!!I've been lying here working on my kitteh tan when I realized it's been SOOOO LONG since any of you have heard a peep out of the P-Man!I'm here to tell you Mom is fine, just really busy with life and her GINORMOUS group on Ravelry (altho I still don't get the whole sock thing!)She says she promised herself she wouldn't blog again until she had something to show you besides socks

Now that 2009 has arrived I have a few loose ends to weave into 2008 :) Just a couple of FO's I never shared but are definitely share worthy! First up, Basket Check Socks:AS ALWAYS, CLICK ANY PIC TO EMBIGGEN This was such a fun sock to knit!The pattern is from The Little Box Of Socks by Charlene Schurch and Beth ParrottTo an experienced sock knitter like me I didn't think these "simple"

I do knit something other than socks around here. Shocking, innit? :)I know it's been nothing but socks, socks and more socks around here for a while but I do have a couple of non-sock items to share.....First of all, I confess I finally popped my Malabrigo cherry....what was I waiting for?? This stuff is heaven in a skein!In my defense, I have no LYS and you can't really appreciate the splendor

In my last post, I mentioned I was going to be the designer of the November Mystery Sock for the Sock Knitters Anonymous Group on Ravelry.Well the month is almost over and I'm happy to say the design was a great success! Have a look at all these gorgeous socks! (Ravelry link)Now I couldn't forget my faithful blog readers, could I? (hello, is anyone out there, heheh)So if you're not on Ravelry or

Anyone who knows me even a little, knows I am a pretty monogamous knitter.For me it's one "big" project and one smaller/portable project, usually socks. Any more than that and I get nervous and jerky - I'm just not a knitter who does well with multiple WIP's.Since the Vest from Hades has been my "big" project since February (February!!! GAH that makes me shudder just to put in writing how long it

Last Thursday was FK Mom's birthday so y'all know what that means....... The vest from Hades Mom's Vest was gifted!!!Despite being a very reluctant supermodel (hence the bare half smile despite my hijinks to make her strike a pose, hehe) here's the money shot:Doesn't she look dishy? It's a perfect fit, just the length she wanted, the cute little Star Trek cap sleeves she requested AND SHE LOVES

I promised I'd return when the vest from hell was finished so I buckled down and gotter done :)Here she is blocking after a nice bath.....(click to embiggen as always) It is a beautiful vest when all is said and done and just what Mom requested. Plus the color is so yummy...she saw me knitting some socks with the same colorway of Louet Gems fingering so I used the sportweight for her vest.Thanks

Hi there! Remember me? Oh, come on it's just been a little over a month... :)I promised myself I would return to Chez Blog de Fluffy as soon as I finished the oft procrastinated oft mentioned "Mom's Vest" cause I figured surely that would only be a week or two at most. Um, not so much....and Mom's October birthday looms closer and closer!Well, as you may have guessed by my absence, I haven't

Sometimes you find special, forever friends when you least expect it. The ones that, if given our "usual" parameters of what draws us to another, are completely off the radar. And aren't those the ones we cherish all the more for the unexpected windfall their friendship brings?Something else I often ponder is the paradox of the knitting "community". I mean, here is a hobby that many of us execute

I was beyond sad and I thought my tears would never stop but three years ago today this krusty, easygoing, lovable lil guy came into my life.... It was Destiny and I fell hard. Thanks for always being Delightful my Darling Kitty Man...and thanks for filling my life with a million smiles when I thought there were none! Happy Anniversary my sweet little Bubba!!

The astute among you will guess today's post is all about the letter CFirst I give you CHIPS...COLOR CHIPS that is. Guess what weare planning here at Chez Blog de Fluffy? Yup, we're painting the cave as soon as we can decide on what color. So many choices! Plus it's truly amazing how different the colors look in different light - what looks green in daylight looks brown under fluorescents! But

As you might have guessed, today's post is brought to you by the letter B!One of my very favorite things is knowing that, depending where it's headed or returning from, I live directly in the flight path of the celebrated Goodyear Blimp!This is the sight I see off my Back Balcony just at nightfall many an evening...This is what I saw last Friday at about 6:15 pm... There are only three Blimps in

Apropos of the symbolic newness a New Year brings knitting the January Mystery Sock was a new and very rewarding experience for me!When I joined the Sock Knitters Anonymous Group on Ravelry, to further expand my knitting horizons I volunteered to be a test knitter for one of the months with a Mystery Sock.Now anyone who's read this here Blog de Fluffy for more than about 3 minutes knows I've got

The human race that is! Thanks for all the well wishes, this crud that's going around is brutal!! Achy, feverish, sore throat and the worst dizziness I've ever experienced! And I actually got a flu shot!! Oh well, at least it's in the past and the P-Man was the perfect, attentive nurse :)I'm not that much of a joiner but I did have fun with the ABC-along of 2006.

So my friends, another year comes to an end.It's been a year for healing and changes, both good and bad....but a new tomorrow is on the horizon and I'm excited!For every new beginning something must end and I thought this beautiful picture I took tonight was a fitting last sky of 2007.....It's the last few minutes of tonight's sundown, a glorious last hurrah....symbolism, anyone? :)Now I'd like

Nothing like taking it to the last minute but I finally finished my last hand knit gift! With 3 days to spare, go me!

Thanks for all the compliments on La Dolce Vita!I'm hoping my SIL likes it as much as everyone here!

Why is it, despite planning and executing holiday knitting year round, I always feel sorta *crunched* this time of year?The good news is I've been a busy knitter and that puts me in the homestretch for meeting holiday knitting goals!I don't mean to imply that I don't love holiday knitting, I do!! And my recipients love my handknits just as enthusiastically which thrills me to no end! There is

I'm not complaining mind you, I realize there are lots of places suffering with terrible drought right now and rain is certainly WAY preferable to the big "H"!During the rainy season, it does rain here every day but it's usually just a brief sprinkle (most often during rush hour traffic, of course!) For the last month we've had torrential rain for a good portion of every day.While rain can be an

The good thing about non-stop rain for over 3 weeks is when the heavens finally decide to shine a little light on this fluffy knitter's lowly existence, I have LOTS of FOs and other good stuff to share so get ready for a picture *fluffy* post, heh!Since my birthday was 3 weeks ago it's about time I showed you two of my favorite knitting related pressies...This was hand made for me by the talented

Oh Hi! Remember me? I used to blog here at FKD pretty regularly!The good news is I finally finished the Esprit Tank!! Hallelujah!!The bad news is it's been raining here for 40 days and 40 nights, or at least it feels that way! And you know how long cotton takes to dry when it's rainy and wet! Plus grey, dank and cloudy makes for crappy photo ops.So...I'll try to get some decent pics soon, plus I

As I've said many times, I try to keep FKD about the strings and sticks but occasionally there is a subject which isn't about the knitting that reminds me why I'm glad I have my blog where I CAN have my say even if it has nothing to do with yarn...so here's something that I feel compelled to discuss... This may be a sad performance, this may be a poor wardrobe choice, this may be a cry for help,

If you're one of those knitters who freaks out when handpainted yarn pools, avert your eyes now cause I've got a doozy for ya! This is my new sock yarn from Claudia at Tausendschon. The colorway is "schlangengift". (I love this yarn, btw - so vibrant, so soft!)Personally I've yet to discover pooling, flashing, ect. I didn't like. I think it's one of the best things about handpainted yarns, the

What is it about a certain color that just draws you in and stays in your fancy?When I loaded some of my FO's to Ravelry I noticed a predominance of green which should come as no surprise cause I'm always singing green's praises. It's funny cause I really don't wear green, I look terrible in it and prior to Bonita there wasn't a spot of it in my wardrobe! (I can get away with Bonita because it's

I'm not real big on the "look at the yarn I bought" kinda posts but I had to share this stunning yarn I just acquired... And why did this yarn speak so loudly to me, besides being drawn in by it's obvious beauty? Check the name...

I'm knitting away on Bonita.I've finished the front for the SECOND time and since, for me, the front and the back are the same (I'll explain more when the tank is finished which I PRAY is by this weekend!) I'm knitting the same piece for the third time! Ah, the bane of being born a Virgo - perfectionism!But it is coming out quite lovely and I'm more than eager to be finished, so I'm hoping

The good news is, I'm still in love and love is all about compromise, right?Here's Bonita's sad tale of woe.....I'm knitting along on the back, happy as a clam, beading my lil heart out. Not especially thrilled with how the shaping works with the lace (of course there are no guidelines in the pattern, just "incorporate lace pattern into shaping" and the decreases/yo's arent paired in the last

Best chuckle of the day....I was checking my blog stats and I saw a lot of visitors from a particular site so I clicked on the link to see what was making FKD so popular. It was a blog from a woman in France and the link on her sidebar was for my beading tutorial .....It was listed as "Blog de Fluffy" :)Yesterday was the first day of summer so of course that means it'sSummer of Socks 2007!!Here's

I'm not much of a joiner or swapper these days, having been burned a few times too many. That kinda takes the joy out of it, ya know? Plus we won't even discuss the fact that I just quit MY OWN KAL* now will we? (I feel guilty, completely relieved but a little guilty - I'm Jewish, I can't help it, it's genetic! heh!)But I saw this on Beth's blogand I thought, "now this is a swap/competition I can

Altho I'm sad to leave my Forest Path Stole to the knitting of my past I take comfort in the fact that some lucky FKD fan will knit her and give her the love she deserves!I must say that the stories y'all have shared have been hilarious as well as painful but it's good to know we're all human and we're all in good company :)Don't forget you still have til Sunday if you're interested in making her

Y'all are so funny! Your guesses on the reason for my exuberance were hilarious but my favorite goes to Madge who wrote:"Hmm, I'm guessing your parole has ended and you don't have to wear that pesky ankle bracelet any longer. :D"Cute Madge, very cute! I wish many of your guesses were correct (new computer, lottery win and world knitting tour with the P-Man all sound great to me!) There were a

Not much knitting to show here, I'm working on my Thelonious and shockingly I've done a bit on my Forest Path Stole altho I'm not sharing it cause I'm really trying to decide if I am gonna continue to knit it or "know when to fold em"! So pics next time....maybe, heh!But....I wanted to share a few things at least.Here's a button for World Wide Knit In Public Day if anyone is interested. This is

Hello my cheeky monkeys :)I totally nicked this from Sallee by way of Margene and if the other kewl kids are doing it, who am I to argue?Actually, it was pretty eye-opening to see all the different aspects of knitting I've done, will do and those few "not unless hell freezes over" techniques, heh.Consider yourself tagged if you so desire.Bold for stuff you've done, italics for stuff you plan to

I can't believe it's already May and thoughts of summer are foremost in my head....wasn't it *just* Christmas?? Sheesh!Of course my summer plans include knitting and for me, knitting always includes socknitting so fittingly I joined....Summer of Socks 2007I love knitting with people of like minds and this is a pretty low key KAL with lots of return - vendor discounts, prizes, lots of cool socks

World Grits Day is your favorite holiday!!Well, maybe not a redneck but a southern girl for sure! So in honor of World Grits Day Kris came up with Grits n' Sticks, an annual celebration for those of us with a love of sticks (knit or crochet) and a hankerin' for a big bowl of grits!Check these babies out....

Thanks for all the compliments on my Carnival Throw! I'm very very happy with it and I'm glad you like it too!Now for the good news....I have 10 assorted skeins of this wonderful Shine left over so I thought, why not share this yummy yarn with someone who's never tried Shine before? So that's exactly what I'm gonna do! There is more than enough for a tank top, baby items, a mini blanket or even

Truth be told I haven't touched a knitting needle in about a week!!! EEK!It's not that my ennui has made me anti-craft, it's just that I realized it was far past time to finish my one and only UFO!! When I looked back in my archives, I was shocked to realize that I started this UFO more than a YEAR ago! Now anyone who knows me for more than about 3 minutes KNOWS that is just not me! So I'm
