Just a Whine

WIP It, WIP It Good!

Some updates on my WIP’s and a FO…
I’m happy to report that the gloves went over very well.  My son was surprised to get them.  I think he liked those better than the CD’s I got him.

WIP-Toe Up Socks.

I’ve decided to face my “fear” and use the Austerman Step yarn I bought for my birthday. These are toe up socks on 2 circulars, with short row toes, and it will eventually have a short row heel. The pattern is the Universal Toe Up Sock Pattern that was featured in [...]

It’s been quite awhile since I blogged. It’s hard to find the time to sit and do it, though, and I haven’t been knitting a whole lot lately. Now that it’s fall, I’ve been more in the mood to start doing it again.
