This is my newest skill as a knitting addict! I am learning how to knit socks. I haven't gotten much past the toe because I knitted on this one for hours and my hands are sore due to the size of the needles. I am loving it though!
My newest love is felting! I knit a bag. Wash it in hot with some jeans or towels and shazam! The stitches disappear and the bag becomes one piece of fabric. It is being blocked on a box until it dries. This one has taken two days because we have gotten more snow. I will add the strap when it is dry and then gift it to my friend, Kelly! She is throwing me a bachelorette party with some other friends! Mostly just a girls night out!
I am currently working on another bag for my daughter, Courtney. Pictures to follow of course!
Steven, the knit snob, now has a blog with some really great knitted items. I will add him to follow. You should check it out! I can't wait for his afghan to be finished for Lorelai our niece! He can be found under theknitsnob.blogspot.com or click the soupboy471 in my follows list.

  3. You're doing well with the sock - it is tricky on those needles. Keep at it! It can be a consuming passion!

  4. the only tricky thing to the needles is how small they are! lol! I have gotten farther and the sock is coming along nicely! Totally a consuming passion! I am so excited to see it take shape!
