I have friends that make socks and I just pretend I am not interested, when the truth is that they scare me. :)Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786734257690659413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-53676195189278356182015-01-26T12:37:58.097-05:002015-01-26T12:37:58.097-05:00I like to knit, but haven't attempted socks ye...I like to knit, but haven't attempted socks yet.; Mittens, hats and scarves, an occasional sweater, but not socks.mommeeof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611832953435781430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-39755081117928865312015-01-26T10:51:50.902-05:002015-01-26T10:51:50.902-05:00woohoo, knitting book!

So true! I've been knitting for almost my whole life. I was making long strands of crochet chain stitch, I think before I was even in kindergarten, and using them as pretend long hair. My first attempt at knitting was at age six, but I struggled for a long time to learn how to knit. What finally helped were some free pamphlets that my grandmother sent for from the craft columnist at our city's newspaper.Patience_Crabstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860012969550268614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-27232216173892738412015-01-25T18:02:11.782-05:002015-01-25T18:02:11.782-05:00I already have all Stephanie's books, but I wa...I already have all Stephanie's books, but I wanted to mention that if you haven't listened to the ones available on audio, I highly recommend them!

Still hasn't stopped me from building my own hefty stash o' yarn, though! I would love, love, love to feel competent and to make beautiful things.

My mom knitted all of my dad's socks with four tiny metal DPNs and fine gauge 100% wool yarn for their entire marriage. That familiar rhythmic clicking probably is my most enduring memory of her. I have her needles now, but nowhere near the patience to use them. Perhaps reading this book will help me acquire that patience... count me in!Lindahttp://www.lalaslalaland.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-26002551952808421972015-01-25T09:15:21.716-05:002015-01-25T09:15:21.716-05:00Count me in...now you've piqued my interest! ...Count me in...now you've piqued my interest! I do knit, but haven't done so for years. I have a baby sock on needles now, convinced myself that it would be easier to learn how to turn a heal on a smaller sock. It's been on the needles for two years! I did manage to knit a Christmas stocking for my new granddaughter, but it is apparent to me that my knitting skills, such as they are, have gotten rusty. It's time to get back to it, and this book may be just what I need!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08556301919720689325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-74502620527233212422015-01-25T08:43:14.340-05:002015-01-25T08:43:14.340-05:00Love reading both of your blog posts.

You are one of the people I think of when I think of knitters. <br />Also, if you don't tell SuperDad about the latest 2 purchases of beads (and when I say beads, I measure them in handfuls... pressed down, overflowing handfuls) I won't mention anything to Larry about that dresser full of yarn.
