My friend knit me some so I decided I would also learn to knit them and failed. I am better at knitting or crocheting scarves, shawls and even sweaters. I love to knit and have at least 3 projects going right now. Enjoyed your post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059115437534501286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964455364460450296.post-28663199730269704192014-05-25T09:44:30.109-06:002014-05-25T09:44:30.109-06:00Good morning I'm here from Sew Many Ways.

I have taken my knitting on trains and planes and automobiles as well as doctor visits and most fun while standing on those wonderful lines at Disney ( I actually worked on socks watching one of their parades. I sewed up a draw string pouch just big enough to hold a skein of yarn a circular needle and a photo copy of the pattern that velcros to my belt loop or fanny pack strap and away I go.tink's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446955920191946432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964455364460450296.post-45079787015192985122014-05-25T05:35:42.093-06:002014-05-25T05:35:42.093-06:00I knit socks all the time, I always have a pair or...I knit socks all the time, I always have a pair or two on the needles at all times and I live in Florida. I like a blog that covers lots of crafty things. I also sew and quilt, so I love to see what others are making. Your blog is great and I just became a follower.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01925978968455925401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964455364460450296.post-83319916749728480862014-05-20T21:41:51.972-06:002014-05-20T21:41:51.972-06:00Here in Alberta we have have had a seven month Win...Here in Alberta we have have had a seven month Winter this year - great for sock knitting but terrible for everything else! Your milder weather would be much appreciated!

I knit two socks at a time on one circular needle, otherwise I suffer terribly from SSS (second sock syndrome) and I end up with orphans socks as all I want to do is knit up some new yarn! Have fun with the jumper - I'm sure your grandson will be thrilled!twotoasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432778966553987105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964455364460450296.post-79891568284990870712014-05-20T21:35:47.723-06:002014-05-20T21:35:47.723-06:00Thank-you!

I find knitting with others rather strange, because (with the exception of a couple of retreats that I have been on), knitting (and sewing for that matter) is a solitary craft for me. However, it is rather fun to see how others knit/what they buy etc., and it does make two lunchtimes a week fun! I do hope that you find a sewing buddy soon!twotoasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432778966553987105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964455364460450296.post-77298128856931649112014-05-20T07:19:07.082-06:002014-05-20T07:19:07.082-06:00Love your socks.

I have sock envy when you knit a new pair as I won't start any until fall when it is cooler. <br /><br />My blog is about a variety of things in my life. I chose it to be that way and it certainly has a different feel since I decided to explore this year. I enjoy reading blogs and when they take a twist in some way, I find that exciting.

I only did one :< but to my amazement it actually fits. I should knit the second one but I've started a jumper for my grandson instead. :)KathyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865710256627225570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964455364460450296.post-7229017499395979982014-05-20T01:44:17.675-06:002014-05-20T01:44:17.675-06:00Your socks are lovely :) I like your story of teac...Your socks are lovely :) I like your story of teaching others to knit and I think it is so good for you and others that you can have a creative outlet at work. I wish I had someone to sew with - my only crafty friend moved away last week, so online is more important than ever!Philippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979470577235630724noreply@blogger.com
