I've been such a bad blogger, haven't posted anything in so long. No FO pics today. I had spent the entire day cleaning my room. It was a total disaster zone, but now it's all nice and tiday. Wonder how long that's going to say. I don't have much confidence in myself, needless to say. I finished my Hedera socks today! I'll take some pics and post them tomorrow or Monday.
I had ordered some books on Amazon and it was waiting for me when I came home on Friday. Here's what I got:
- Knitting on the Road: Sock Patterns for the Traveling Knitter by Nancy Bush
- Knitting Vintage Socks: New Twists on Classic Pattern also by Nancy Bush
- Socks, Socks, Socks: 70 Winning Patterns from the Knitter's Magazine Contest edited by Elaine Rowley
Do you see a pattern there? :P There are several patterns that I want to try out, but I need to get more sock yarn first. Since I just started knitting (again), I don't have much of a stash. In terms of sock yarn, only have 2 skeins of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock mentioned in the last post. However, I do have 2 skeins of Socks that Rock coming in the mail. I've read such great raves on them I couldn't wait to try it out! I personally don't like wearing wool as I find them itchy and scratchy. I think I enjoy the process more than the final product. The Hedera socks were alright, but I have sweaty feet (I know I know, a bit too much info there) and not sure if wool is the best fibre for me. Does anybody have any good yarn suggestions for me?
And I want to thank those of you that commented on my first entry! It's nice to know that my ramblings are actually seen by people! Ha ha.
