Learning something new and such


Jordan - 5 months old - my other obsession :)

Toe up socks, my new obsession. I have to learn how to knit toe up socks. I have learned Judy's Magic cast on....and need to continue on from there and make the rest of the sock. I don't know where the need to conquer this technique came from, but have purchased the required circular needles needed (sizes 2's and 3's both 24") and I have this feeling that I need to finish up my current projects so that I can start knitting toe up socks....notice the plural!!!

Yes, I did say sizes 2 and 3.....I have tried to make socks with size 1's before, only to be disappointed at the outcome...my feet are big, size 9, and I find that my socks need 2's and 3's. I just bought size 3 Kollage needles this weekend to try out...cuff down, Basis Sock Pattern, from the Yarn Harlot's book Knitting Rules. Yes, cuff down, dpn's....not toe up....I was waiting for the circs to come so I decided to cast on cuff downs.....it has got to be STARTITIS......I just have this urge to start new projects.

I am also stash building. It is an important part of a knitters life! I have finally organized my stash and have it documented on my Ravelry page. Almost all updated, except for the new skeins I got this past weekend on our trip to Erie to pick up L and my super lucky Woolmeise update that I happened to hit today.

Well, a blogger I am not....off to pick a project, and finish something!
