Blah-blah

Not much knitting done lately. I didn't start another afghan square. But I intend to later today. I did start knitting Origami. Not much to show. Only about 1.75" on the back yoke. The guage is still a little off. But after knitting for a few rows the measurement doesn't seem to be off that much.

Two Socks at Once class starts tomorrow! Yay! The store is suppose to order the super long 60" Size 1 Addi Turbo for every student (not free.) I hope they get them in time for the class. Nobody wants to use two needles. We don't want dangling needle points! I'm really curious to see how the cast-on is done. That's the part I can't visualize in my mind. Oh, by the way, the Kathy Hinckley that I found on the Internet turned out to be THE Kathy Hinckley that's teaching the knitting classes. She freaked a little bit when I told her all the facts I knew about her. LOL Hey, she put all that info on the web. Not me. :-) She's also a Tarot reader. How nice!

Since I don't have much to show in pictures, I'm leaving you this nice photo of our orchids. They are in bloom!

It'll be interesting to see what you think about the two socks at once. I've tried that from a book, and seen the video, but I prefer my little 5" DPNs.
Beautiful orchids!

Beautiful orchids, cymbidiums I think. What did you think of the Fair Isle class?

Thanks Jessica! I really don't know why they do so well. No special care given here. LOL

Hi Dave, I am going to take pictures of the process. LOL If it really works out, I am going to love sock knitting even more! It will be much easier to carry one circular needle around.

Hey Kerry, I am really glad that I took the class even though it was a bit frustrating. Learning continental knitting and Fair Isle at the same time wasn't easy. :-) But I think I got the priciples and I am really looking forward to knitting a project. Maybe a hat? I think that's not too much for a first. Isn't knitting great? There's always something new. :-)
