Well I have finished my third pair of socks last Friday on Nov, 11, 2011. I will try and add a picture soon. I haven't taken one. On to my fourth pair. Had to redo all ready got to the heal part and dropped a few stitches, I tried to fix it but made a mess of it. So I tried ripping back a few rows well that didn't go well so i ended up redoing the whole sock. I have been knitting like mad the last three days it seems. I would have been at least at the toe by now. sigh... I am not using Blue moon fiber arts this time I am using Fortissima Socka/Mexiko Colour. It feels so much different then Blue moon. This is a teen's sock so that's why I am using this type other then that I usually like Blue moon Fiber arts. They are supper soft and squishy and lovely to work with. The colours are to die for and can't get enough of when I order I often want to order 2 or three of the same colours. But on a tight yarn budget I sometimes have to use other yarns. It's just not right. I feel as I am cheating some how. If I could I would knit all Blue Moon Yarns. I will Post pictures soon. I hope to get them up soon. :)
Eta; I broke one of my needles :O I stepped on it. My knitting fell from my chair before I saw it and then I heard it. "snap" and felt it. My heart sank. Oh My no no no... Thankfully it was only just one and I had a spare. But I won't be able to knit with five lol. Oh sad day when you break a needle. That's the thing with wood needles.
Oh I also got some beads given to me from a garage sale today just some odds and ends of beads to use up for stitch markers. I lucked out some are too big and heavy to use but there are allot of seed beads that I can put to good use. I also got some bracelets that were made up that I can use as well that are tied in a string. So I am finding other places to find beads that aren't so expensive then the bead shop. You may not get exactly what you want; but for just practice it's a good build your collection slowly. Beads are everywhere. You just got to know where to look for them.
My first blog, Inspired by reading others I'd thought I'd give it a try. My first love is knitting socks, and sock yarn of course and I have 5 to knit up by Christmas time I hope I can do it in time. I have two down and three more to go. Unless I get asked to do more. These are all requested and I love to do them at least I hope the are lol. Who doesn't like to wear a nice warm cozy wool pair of sock in the cold mornings when our toes are freezing. Store bought socks just aren't the same and they don't hug your feet in the same way.
Will i have the guts to publish this in the world wide web for every one to read I don't know. but for now it's a great way for me to keep track. Maybe one day I will be brave enough to post it live. :D ♥
I don't know how much I will post but we will see.
