Hmm.. maybe I can do that then. I'll have to look at see what I can find. I don't know about chunky yarn though because I will probably wear them the most when I'm computing. OK, that was silly. If I'm awake, I'm computing and I don't think I'll wear them when I'm asleep. I've got a really nice merino/cashmere blend worsted weight that I think would work well and not be irritating.

Oh - I go away for a little while and people mock me! :-D
But yes - 1 pair and 1 sock of another pair - - which is just too wordy. And it is SOCKS not STOCKS! Your could have noted that Gayla! ;-)


This is the pattern I use for
fingerless gloves

LOL I could have, if I had even noticed! I was way too distracted by the thought of 3 toed socks! :)

Thanks for the link! I like the look of those but I'm intimidated just reading about them. I'm about a dozen rows into Ami's rectangle idea and loving the way this yarn feels in my hands.

Quick, simple and exactly what I wanted. Now I want to try it with sock yarn!

Ami - Thank you! :)

I knit.

I have made 1 blue and orange striped garter stitch scarf.
1 button tabbed hat
1 hat with ears and tassles
2 Knitted Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
and I am working on a scarf for my Mom

Not the most butch hobby ever but fun.

i knit and crochet.

knitted a hat and a scarf in rainbow colours, and as soon as I get my hands fixed I'll be continuing to knit a blanket I started a year and a half ago

I agree, knitting is super fun. I totally think its butchly though, because in my head I'm like: I made this! With sharp objects!

I don't know how that's butch, actually, but it makes sense to me.

So far, I am working on rectangles, and I am making a checkerboard patterned rectangle that's really bright.

Before this I was working on interpretative rectangles, which means that I was trying to make rectangles but they weren't coming out rectangular.

One day I hope to knit a circle. ;-)

Ok I am now into making these, They are fun to make! They are for baby photographers.

stringy lil bumparoo!

I'm a knitter n spinner. I'm not very good. But I have fun!

I love knitting (and a little bit of crochet)
 

Although I must admit I haven't done much this winter (I'm in the southern hemisphere, and baby it's cold outside). But I'm almost at the end of renovations and haven't been inspired due to the mess. I'm on Ravelry, but haven't been there much lately either.

any of you folks into yarnbombing?!! I think it is the coolest movement evah and it just may provoke me to learn some stitchery....:seeingstars:

I've done a bit of yarn bombing, but have no pics handy... I'll try to remember to take some photos next time.

down time in between classes, watching t.v. or sitting in the chemo clinic are the best times for me to work with my hands. :) i found a great pattern for a 5&1/2 hour crocheted blanket and am *trying* to make as many as i can to give away as christmas presents. i also subscribe to lionbrandyarn.com and they send out free weekly patterns for all sorts of yarn derived crafting. i have also gotten back into beading and have made some pretty neat jewelry! i just love to create special things with my hands. :)

Here is the link to the blanket I am currently making. It's super simple and easy to do while watching tv or chatting with someone. :)
