Knitting Socks...I knit!

It's true.

I knit.

You saw the February post about knitting...

I knit to keep my hands busy when I am done quilting.

I knit to let my mind wander.

The yarns, the colors, the textures take my creative mind

in directions my fabrics don't always take me.

And.

I get to make a lot of great gifts for friends.

I knit so that my quilting brain can 'recharge'.

Yes.

I knit.

But I'm really mind quilting!

I don't knit like Lisa or Kenna, tho.

I knit big chunky simple things.

h o w e v e r

 I am always willing to learn new things.

I am always willing to put in the time and effort to try something different.

So when I saw this Martingale & Company book

I thot - I'd like to try THAT!!!

I had to go to the local cottage knit shop and get size - sigh - 2 needles

and then I had to select but just ONE skein of sock yarn.

I had no idea sock yarn was designed to make patterns!

Overall, stripe, flame, fair isle, did I say stripe?

Well, I was sold.

 So, I got set up and opened the book.

Simple.

This book really has the best instructions ever.  And great pictures.

I think I can DO this, if I can ever get past the mental block against the size - sigh - 2 needles...
