I have a wonderful 2 needlesock pattern, which got misplaced in the move. And a new book of 4 needle & circular needle sock patterns waiting to be attempted. I have a lot of 4 ply yarn in glorious shades left over from my weather scarf. But have yet to decide on a pattern and cast on...
Mags, do post photos of your blanket and socks and other lovely yarn projects as you work your way through them. I tried socks twice. Recently I heard a knitting expert say that it's very important to knit socks using actual SOCK YARN, as opposed to any other yarn (which is what I did). Otherwise your socks will wear out very quickly, which is what mine did, of course :) So ... I might try again, with real sock yarn.
Would you be up for the challenge of knitting a small Badger? If so, plese let me know...
Tales from snowy forests...? That does sound nice.
I agree with M.K. -- we need lots of photos. Is that a glimpse of the mentioned blanket-for-mother, at top, behind the book?
HAPPY NEW YEAR! It does seem like a good time to try for a new tradition. Much better than resolutions.
Hi Mags! Oh, I must have that book!
Maybe I'll finish something today! Maybe!
The Scandinavian Christmas book does look delightful! Good luck on those socks! :)
PomPom, which book were you referring to? I find that when someone posts a picture of the very book they are reading, it always makes me want it! Because I want to open it up right away, and look inside... I have been trying to learn restraint. But you challenge me, Mags!
SOCKS! The bane of my existence. The one time I tried socks, knitting with a friend, she looked over at me, dropped her knitting and said, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
Um, knitting a sock...?
"Give it here, let me look."
It turns out I was knitting inside out and backwards but still a sock.
A dark talent, but mine nonetheless.
In response to your comment on my blog, I said I was going to try sock knitting again. I lied.
I have a lovely grayish chunky wool on the needles; a man's scarf, although for the life of me I can't imagine why a man's scarf.
It is pretty though.
Not as beautiful as your blanket...WHEW! All those bobbles and cables...Very Impressive! and Beautiful!
God of the Fallen Grain brings to mind in order for bread to be eaten, grain must be broken. In order for wine to be drunk, grapes must be crushed.
I should be able to bench press a elephant by now.
