Thank you Peggy

By the way, did I tell you how many times I frogged
and started over

A BUNCH!

I think that really did help me a lot. When I started this one,
I didn't have to pull out once. I hope I can say the same when
I do the second sock

Great Job, Kathy!!!

I didn't even pick up my socks over the weekend..
I did do a few rows on Big D's afghan waiting for hubbie to come home from work on Saturday.
We went to Barnes and Noble ( I could spend all day there) i picked up a knitting book called "The Knitting Directory" by Alison Jenkinsfor $5.00 and couple of cookbooks.. Hubbie was waiting to leave....I kept saying oh look. he kept saying next time.
Then we went to Texas Land and Cattle for dinner.. I think he was just hungry.

Today we went out and about again to day and got me a glider-swivel recliner.. So had to change thing around I the livingroom..

Okay, for my second pair of socks. I'm working on a pair of Magic Loop, two -at-once, toe-up sock. Working the foot part.. My just have to go to KnitPicks and order some more fixed small size 40" cable needles. I like doing it this way...

My 3rd pair taking a class for crocheted two-at-a-time, toe-up sock.
Have to find my ball winder and start working on my swatch.. See how this works.
I will let you know..

Hey, Miss Kitty~ is that a Broncos afghan you are working on? Our six year old LOVES the broncos~~ We don't even watch any games. Someone gave him a Broncos t-shirt when we lived in Colorado; and whenever we'd see anything Broncos he would get all excited, 'Look, Mom. Broncos!' :P

I thought you were crocheting socks, Kathy but it looks like you have it figured out knitting.

I like that color you are using! I should join this C/KAL, eh; with all the socks I have been doing...

I haven't worked on mine for a few days though. Endless ribbing....

I am halfway done with it, though; then the fun begins...

Thanks Tina, I have only made a couple of washcloths til now. The ONE

sock is my first anything other than the two cloths.
The baby blanket that I am now working on I consider my very first real project, so far so good.
And yes, you should be in this CAL/KAL seeings how many of them little dudes you have (and are) making, LOL!

Oh yeah, that is some sock yarn that Selena gifted me with. Miss Kitty sent me some just a couple of weeks later. Both yarns are some very pretty colors.
I guess when I finish this baby blanket that the very next two projects will be to finish a couple of pairs of socks huh?

I have been working on dishcloths, too. And hotpads. I had to frog everything I did on my second sock. I was knitting along yesterday, and got to a place where there should have been a second purl and it was a knit. Looked inside, and I must have dropped a stitch a few rows back. I couldn't even save it and was so disgusted I ripped it all out. I didn't feel like going back, stitch by stitch, to the spot where I messed up.

So I got my 'magic ball' of yarn and made two hotpads then I made a dishcloth. I hope I don't get burned out from making socks. Maybe I just need a break for a while. Til I get sick of dishcloths?
