I think they are a fun way to keep you on track and turn your WIP into a FO ( finished object). :)Umme Yusufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17340326855329177957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-82918412931023876582014-09-24T12:58:26.888-04:002014-09-24T12:58:26.888-04:00Welcome, Nancy!

I wish I had my Grammy's knitting needles, but I do have many thriftshop sets for which I imagine a happy and productive past.<br />NZ is the one place (or two, really) I would most love to visit. It sounds so beautiful and vast and unspoiled - I hope that is the reality.<br />I sometimes wonder if readers ever see the flag map, and you are the very first to mention it! It is one of my favorite bits of blogging, and every time a new flag is added I marvel at this world we live in, and the miraculous ways people find each other and connect.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-68327608264392209082014-09-24T12:49:46.400-04:002014-09-24T12:49:46.400-04:00Do you knit, Sue?

Also, addictive, which is why some sock-knitters are more than willing to assist others into the rabbit hole. Plenty of room - and yarn - down here! :)Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-89853820857011834802014-09-24T12:46:01.457-04:002014-09-24T12:46:01.457-04:00Tanya, I am not surprised - the extremely high qua...Tanya, I am not surprised - the extremely high quality and all-round creative loveliness of your projects is just stunning!

Socks, well I didn't quite master them, my Grandma did so many pairs, on 4 needles, for soldiers in the second WW, and I still have her well worn steel needles. Lovely scarf, colours are some of my favourites, Cheers ,Jean. p.s. I hopped to you from KB, then scrolled down, saw NZ and a flag at the lower LHS, and knew I would leave some words.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-11352845950905914392014-09-21T22:09:14.936-04:002014-09-21T22:09:14.936-04:00I am in awe of anyone who can knit socks.
