Getting the Hang of it!

Well, as some of you know, I recently taught myself to knit.  For the longest time all I had completed was a shaw and one sock.  I just had a real hard time getting the hang of it.  Well, I am pleased to announce that I finally completed the other sock.  I found that while I started the second sock with absolute dread it not end that way.  I think I have finally gotten the hang of knitting.  This sock went so quickly.  Now I feel confident starting the children's socks. 

I am also getting the hang of the new dress design I have been working on for my daughter.  I am making them large enough that she has more of a chance to grow into them.  I have designed them so the can be let down over time fairly simply and let out a bit also.  Some with her nightgowns.  Just two simple flannel pieces, sewn together, that can be let down over time and loosened around the neck as she grows.  She is only four but she seems to be growing by leaps and bounds! 

Good

Good for you. I want to learn how to knit but I get kind of lost in the books! Post some pictures of your work to show us all your work. God Bless, mj
