Well, my children found the socks one morning before I woke up. My son (2) took out the needles thinking he was helping me. LOL My daughter (5) knows better than to 'help' with the knitting and tried to put the needles back in. I wasn't happy when I found it, but their intentions were good and I shouldn't have left it out. I have restarted the socks and I am almost to the point I had been before my kids had "helped" me....I hope to be able to post picks soon.

I have decided to quit smoking. My quit date will be April 22. I have been gathering supplies to keep my hands busy. I found a few different freebe patterns that I have wanted to try.

I want to make some cable knitted socks and fingerless gloves out of these two fibers. I can't wait to start, but I want to wait until my quit date.

I found some finger weight yarn in my stash and I can't choose what kind of socks I want to make out of these. I love the muted colors. I need to look for a nice sock pattern or something.

And I have no idea what I want to make out of these. But they are so soft and fuzzy that I couldn't leave them out of my arsinal in quiting smoking.

I have a feeling that I will be doing a lot of knitting after I quit.

First Entry

I love to knit. I have been knitting for only a few years and am pretty much self-taught. I have only taken a couple of classes to make sure I was on the right track. My first project was a scarf for my husband...he still wears it. lol But I have made a couple of bags, hats, and socks since then. Right now I am working on my first sweater for my daughter. It's a top down pattern that will be a pink carnigan when I am done. I had wanted to have it done last fall, but that didn't happen. Now all I have left are the sleeves and a few seams. I will post pics with my next entry. I want my next project to be a pair of socks for myself to wear around the house. I bought a really nice self striping yarn for them. I had found a link for some cabled socks that I want to try. But I have to find the link again. Untill next week....
