A neighbor taught me to knit (a little) when I was 10 or 11. I knitted three things: a headband, a Barbie dress (tube with armholes) and a turquoise slipper (yes, *a* slipper - I ran out of steam before I even started the second one!). I keep meaning to give it another try. Maybe next year ...Jean | DelightfulRepast.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038772991628796917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-36694842538933087412016-05-22T11:24:24.179-04:002016-05-22T11:24:24.179-04:00Also, I hope you entered the MDK cashmere giveaway...Also, I hope you entered the MDK cashmere giveaway!Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-26023465727025419922016-05-21T20:43:35.546-04:002016-05-21T20:43:35.546-04:00Hey, look at you, all commenting on the blog and e...Hey, look at you, all commenting on the blog and everything! ;)Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-80302274805267536582016-05-21T20:42:40.364-04:002016-05-21T20:42:40.364-04:00Glad you liked the beech snaps :)

I've knitted 1 sock in my life...somehow managed to knit it inside out backwards...a very real talent to be sure! On the needles, a cotton coral tri shawl for summer; perhaps after the last skein is knitted, I'll try socks again. <br />Right now I'm wondering if my comment will go thru...on a laptop as the desktop is in shop.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-74455739312945325852016-05-20T20:38:02.110-04:002016-05-20T20:38:02.110-04:00Perhaps the pattern is Waving Lace?

I came across a couple in the woods 2 wks ago and was fascinated but hadnt been able to identify what it was.

I have to get busy on a pair of socks for DH - he's the only one in the family that hasn't received his pair. By the time I get them done, the rest of the family will start clamoring for a second pair.Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-30633326595292827942016-05-19T13:20:53.583-04:002016-05-19T13:20:53.583-04:00Beautiful socks, both pairs.

And ...I think you are right about that second part! And just as an added incentive for you: there are non-wool sock yarns, and some are "DK weight" which knits up much, much faster than the skinny "sock weight" yarns. The DK socks are thicker, but if you're using non-wool, they won't be hot the way thick wool boot socks would be.<br />Let me know if I can advise or assist in any way!<br />Not that I'm trying to enable, or anything...;)Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-39504385276608302052016-05-19T08:01:55.892-04:002016-05-19T08:01:55.892-04:00Thanks, Carmen!

Didn't pursue that though. Now instead, I think knitting socks is the practical and scarier better choice.Salty Pumpkin Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10116105220109225010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-29388890720198862182016-05-18T23:14:49.564-04:002016-05-18T23:14:49.564-04:00Great looking socks!
