I finished my first sock at class on Monday...it really wasn't that difficult..of course I had to do the kitchener stitch threee times on my sock before I figured out what I was doing. Oh well, it was a learning experience.
I did cast on the second sock and as of last night I am ready to start the heel flap..hope I can remember what I did on the first sock so that I can finish the second one.
I also worked on a dishrag this week. You really cant tell from the picture but there is a butterfly in the pattern. I don't know if I life working with the cotton yarn. It has absolutely no give in it and by the time I was done with a couple of rows my hands were killing me. I even used metal needles. Don't know if I will be making many more of these even though they are easy and should be quick.
I still have my scarf to do as well. I haven't worked on that since starting the socks. I'm getting almost as bad with my knitting ufo's as I am with my quilting ones, and I haven't even been doing it very long. I am not even going to mention the 3 crocheted ones I have..nope not at all.
On a side note I spent an hour trying to teach my mom to cast on and to knit...lets just say I have not laughed so hard in a long time. It was fun though....well I am off to work then home to finish cleaning house before company arrives late tonight.
For more needlin Friday head on over to Judy's
We've had company all week as yesterday was DFILs 95th BD. I've done nothing quilt wise but did show the sister-in-laws my knitting. One crochets, the other knits so I got them both online to the free pattern sights. All leave tomorrow and Sunday. Maybe I can sneak another DJ block in there. But don't hold your breath. HA!! See ya Weds. Momma B
ReplyDeleteYou are making great headway on your socks. I'd really like to make a pair for next Christmas...2013 not 2012. This year it is hats. Then I found a pattern for leg warmers that are worn under boots...no toe or heel to knit; that may be '13's Christmas for my grown girls.
