]]> Sat, 07 Apr 2007 10:04:40 -0500 By BusyHSmom I am astounded, amazed and impressed!! My poor sock #2 is sitting, lonely, waiting, waiting for me to return and finish it. I have had soooo many other projects going that have stolen my time and affections (Historical Ball, projects for my secret pal, etc). I guess I am quite the tart when it comes to needlework projects! (I have seen other knitters use harsher terms than "tart" but I shan't compare myself to a lady of the evening...even in regards to my fiber flirting) So, tell me. What yarn did you use? Needle size? pattern? You must include such details! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000661.html#c44104 44104:661@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I am astounded, amazed and impressed!!

]]> Sat, 07 Apr 2007 13:12:45 -0500 By Kim Oh didn't I say all that? LOL!!! I used this pattern: The Super Simple Knitwit Sock Pattern It's made for adult feet (I believe) with worsted weight yarn and size 4 or 5 needs (3.75 or 4 mm) ... But I used a thin worsted weight (I'm a little confused on all that, it SAYS worsted weight, but it was thinner than average) and size 3 needles. It starts with 40 stitches, and I've determined that for my *sock* yarn and my fatter foot I should probably do 60 stitches instead ... I used Caron Simply Soft Brites in Lime green. As a first-time-ever sock knitter, I liked the simplicity of the pattern, and the flexibility to pick my own ribbing (I did k3p1) but the heel flap and gusset turned out a little weird. I think it's because it said to make the flap 2.5 inches long and then pick up only 10 stitches, (there were about 16 rows of flap) and I think that made the heel flap curl around, so the 'turn' was past where it should be? I'm going to wing it more on my next one, or find another 'simple' pattern to try. I liked how fast it knitted up, (besides my OWN dawdling between knit-times) but I think I'd prefer the look of a finer yarn and more stitches. Maybe even smaller needles. I did buy some Paton's sock yarn for MY socks. I've seen some awful harsh knitting language, too! :-O what's that all about? LOL!!! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000661.html#c44105 44105:661@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Oh didn't I say all that? LOL!!!

How did I manage to avoid that Seuss for all these years? http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000661.html#c44113 44113:661@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Nice socks!

]]> Sat, 07 Apr 2007 14:22:46 -0500 By Shari Your socks are cute! I just finished catching up on your blogs. You've been busy! I think having a once a year yard sale to be able to give things to is a good thing. And it happening in spring is especially good. It goes along with spring cleaning. I always thought that my decluttering efforts should result in fewer give-aways each time, or that meant that I was over-buying. I'm kind of envious that you have a deadline to meet. I don't and therefore there's so end point. Oh, and I'm a cleanie that can't keep up with the demands. LOL! Your date with Eminoodle sounded fun. Indoor pools are always over chlorinated. Ugh! But kids don't seem to mind and I think it's sweet that you braved the chemicals and made it fun. So update us on your decluttering. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000661.html#c44115 44115:661@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Your socks are cute!
