To casual observers she was just knitting one, and then she cast off and presto-change-o, pulled out its twin. It's some sort of double knitting that allows for NO mistakes, so it's not such a great method for those who like to knit drunk. Not that I'm saying you drink hard liquor when you're alone with your stash. I'm not actually saying that.Carol G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-65609960010415773342010-05-10T21:56:50.512-04:002010-05-10T21:56:50.512-04:00Did you also receive a huge bottle of Bailey's...Did you also receive a huge bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream for mother's day?

I happily went on to knit... no others.<br /><br />Seriously, I don't know why, but I went right back to knitting socks toe up, but one at a time, on dpns. Not sure what's wrong with me. Maybe I'll get back to it? In the mean time, my socks must patiently wait for their mates to be completed.<br /><br />I wish your socks a better fate.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830165238741358305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-7763932593549300262010-05-10T06:13:52.178-04:002010-05-10T06:13:52.178-04:00Good luck with the socks.

So I started making mini-tea cozies for my friends, so they will never have a cup of coffee go cold again. Short, easy, not much yarn required. xxMichaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038916759970109311noreply@blogger.com
