Horcrux

This sock was knit for the Six Sox Knitalong.
I used Meilenweit #704 and size 1 DPN. The pattern was great fun! I wanted to try the Meilenweit - and it was nice to work with and I loved the color. I don't think it showed off the pattern as well as some of the yarns used by other knitters in the group. Oh well, live and learn - I would definitely knit the pattern again!

Ryan's Blanket

This pattern is the Pinwheel Afghan for baby by Oat Couture. It was such a great pattern! I had a tiny problem at the beginning but soon got the hang of it and with stitch markers it was a dream. If you made a mistake it was easy to rip back and figure out where you needed to be. Short rows have always scared me but not anymore! I used Baby Care Yarn by Sirdar and it looked even better after washing.

Just Learning

Hello there,

I'm just learning how to set up a blog. In fact, this is a test... only a test. Be patient with me! My hope is to have lots of knitting pictures. I love looking at other knitter's sites. You are all an inspiration!
