I have always enjoyed some type of craft, needlework, cross stitch, and lately - last two years I have fallen in love with yarn and started knitting. I have knitted a large bag and felted it.. turned out pretty good... knitted many scarfs... but ran out of people to give them to. Then one Tuesday night I was at my favorite Knitting Store "Pins & Needles" in Ruckersville, Va. and she was showing someone how to knit socks on one circular needle! Well I watched and decided I wanted to try my hand at this. I started out with some inexpensive acrylic yarn... but it was a blue and brown self patterning yarn.. I have finished my first sock!! After much ripping and fussing of course! I was very proud of myself and will try and insert a pic here.
I am now on my second sock in the "Boston Marathon" sock yarn... a much nicer yarn and attempting to knit my second sock.. here I go... two mismatched socks.. but oh well. I will have a pair soon. I just cannot stand to be without a "project! Whoops! This pic is of my dog Daisy.. watching me knit! :>)
