Eventual Homesteader
• Sunday, August 17, 2008 - On the Knitting Front
As you may well know, I am obsessed with knitting. If you didn't know that. Well, I just had to put that out there. I'm an addict. I've been to a few meetings. Not technically meetings to get over the addiction. See, it's a knitting group. It's a club. We talk about knitting. Properties of knitting. We may even have a banquet.
Ok, did anyone besides Brandy get that movie reference?
Anyway, time to talk about...you guessed it. Knitting!
I've made a few projects for women having babies. Why is it that so many people I know are having babies right now? Is it because I want one? Are they taunting me?
I had a sock sit in my "I'm not going to think about it" box for a few months. I forgot where I left off on the pattern and didn't mark it either. Yep, not so smart, am I? So I let it sit there, since May. So for knitting group last week I dug it out and counted every single row, until I figured it out. I finished that sock before group and started the second one. I finished it in 2 days. I could have done it in one if I didn't have to work. So, the pattern is called Hedera by Cookie A. on Knitty. Ok, well I can't post pictures on here from flickr. Hmm...
I told you I was obsessed right? I immediately cast on another sock after finishing Hedera. This pattern, also by Cookie A. is called Monkey. I love it. I'm down to the gusset on the first sock. Not bad for a first time through this pattern. It is knitting up really fast.
