Great idea on starting with something small - I'll have to remember that.

In fact, I thought about tatting more than knitting yesterday and had to go to JoAnn's for batting - yes batting - I've got another idea for transporting larger tatting projects.<br /><br />Thanks Cindy!<br />Yep, the yarns are a worry for me also. I haven't gone to a REAL yarn shop yet though, so I'm not in imminent danger...<br /><br />Hi Diane!<br />Your socks are part of the reason I'm giving this a go. I wished I could make something like that when I read one of your posts about knitting socks, so when I figured out a little bit about knitting it became a real goal.<br /><br />Hi Martha!<br />I am in TOTAL agreement on the cuteness of those little feet - even though on closer inspection I noticed there is a little dirt under those toenails. Baby Doll loves to throw off her shoes (literally) and run barefoot even on the hot concrete. In that respect she takes after her mama. I HOPE I'll be successful in covering those feet with yarn. The heels are fast approaching and I'm a little worried. Thought I had better take a picture before I botch them! :)<br /><br />:) Annsewmuchfun4https://www.blogger.com/profile/09841972052152898574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040635923924359534.post-28911968329539556512011-07-02T20:18:39.146-05:002011-07-02T20:18:39.146-05:00Oh, Ann -- I love hand knit socks, and those are t...Oh, Ann -- I love hand knit socks, and those are the cutest ever (on the cutest ever little feet, too). I can't believe you jumped right in with socks, which I've always thought were the trickiest of knitting projects. You amaze me!Marthahttp://qisforquilter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040635923924359534.post-33705951394114246252011-07-02T19:13:31.254-05:002011-07-02T19:13:31.254-05:00Socks are so much fun to knit, especially little o...Socks are so much fun to knit, especially little ones! Maybe I should finish up the sock I have on the needles... only one inch to go, but I haven't touched them since maybe February!<br /><br />Have fun with your new obsession!Lace-lovin' Librarian ~ Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032689683092213368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040635923924359534.post-32837990056763273212011-07-02T19:12:57.219-05:002011-07-02T19:12:57.219-05:00Aaawwww - look at those cute little toes!
I thi...Aaawwww - look at those cute little toes! <br /><br />I think it's smart to start "small" - you are so brave! And it looks like you are doing the same fine work you always do :)<br /><br />I have been avoiding learning to knit - the yarns out there are luscious, and I could see myself becoming addicted to yet another fiber art. No, no, no! I will gladly watch your wonderful progress!!!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18305969547263496679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040635923924359534.post-46963270098964443092011-07-02T18:57:50.215-05:002011-07-02T18:57:50.215-05:00Weel, you can hang up your shuttles!

There are so many patterns, needles yarns for the foot fancier (sounds a bit lurid, but, hey!)<br /><br />I got stranded there for a number of years - must have knitted HUNDREDS of pairs of socks - all different kinds, sizes and yarns. What fun! I did not want to do anything else....sound familiar?!!<br /><br />Enjoy your sojourn,<br />Fox : )Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889386206601730189noreply@blogger.com
