So far it's been a sparse knitting year...PATTERN CORRECTED!

I've not done a lot of knitting this year bc of my injuries. I've done the square for Amy's afghan; several wash/dishcloths; soap sacks and wash mitts; all can be seen here under 2006 knitting.
I had thought about beginning to knit the several beautiful shawls that I have the patterns & yarn for.....BUT.....from under my bed I've heard the constant calls from my sock yarn....."Knit Us, Becks.....please, knit Us...we want to be socks...we've been in hanks & balls for far too long, we want to be socks.....please.." Then Lonnie surprised me with Nancy Bush's Knitting Vintage Socks AND I had already ordered the Sock I dvd, but it's not yet here. So....I am about to cast on a pair of socks for my aunt's bday.....now,

if I can only remember how it's done...........

Sorry to hear about the injuries. But glad that you are feeling better enough to jump back into knitting. I'm pretty sure you will remember how to do it the moment you pick up those needles. Enjoy!!

You certainly have a lot of dishcloths and soap sacks to last you for a while. I'm so glad you're treating yourself to your sock sabbatical!!

LOL, those cloths & soap sacks weren't for me! Those were gifts for the most part

Yep...it's time for some socking

And I LOVE mine!!

Becca....I cant IMAGINE that you have forgotten how to make socks....or matching fingerless gloves, or matching hats or matching scarves or matching Lonnie Cozies!!

Rebecca,
Are those "Born to Knit" cloths your own pattern/chart, or are they available someplace? And what about the flower cloth? I really like those!

Hi Rebecca! Yes sorry to hear you've been having some difficulties.

I LOVE that washcloth Born to Knit and the other one too! You know, I've wanted that particular book every since I saw it a few months ago at the bookstore. It's really a great great book. What a thoughtful DH!

I've had one sock lying around for twomonths that hasn't been finished, just the little bit at the end of the toe. It's so MAD AT ME. I hate the way they turn out too square or pointy sometimes but I love dpns and won't do circulars sooooo I have to figure a better way to make my toes more round.

Think I'll do that washcloth of yours!!!! If I can figure it out.

good work
