Addi Express Mittens!

Posted on February 13, 2022 by Noile

I used Suzy’s Addi Pro Mittens Tutorial; the process looked a lot easier than socks. (But, let’s face it, socks aren’t at all tough once you figured them out!) My first attempt was done double-stranding Lion Brand Fishermen’s Wool in … Continue reading →

Addi Socks 97/98 and 99/100

The Goldilocks Socks (95 and 96)

Posted on February 4, 2022 by Noile

Clothing has taken a back seat around here for quite a while now, but there’s stash to be used up, and, someday, maybe, clothes will be needed again. I have been eyeing *Wool&’s Rowena merino dress for quite a while, … Continue reading →

A Brief History of More Socks

Posted on January 31, 2022 by Noile

Here’s a quick over-view of some of the socks I’ve made so far on my Addi Express, to a point, and otherwise not mentioned. The reference numbers refer to casting-on, not to actual full socks completed! I’ve cast-on a lot … Continue reading →

Addi Socks 93 and 94

Posted on January 29, 2022 by Noile

This pair is the result of casting onto the Addi Express for the 93rd and 94th times. These look purple in my monitor, but they are actually shades of burgundy and dusty rose. And they are the first pair I’ve … Continue reading →

A Pair of Socks on the Addi Express

Posted on January 24, 2022 by Noile

Finally, a matching pair of Addi-knit socks! Here are the results of my 78th and 80th casting-ons. (Number 77 was a bust. Sigh.) There’s still a lot to learn — among other things, I think the tension isn’t exactly the … Continue reading →
