Just started a quick scarf for a birthday..

The price of yarn has gone UP! I may as well order the good stuff with the prices at Wal Mart...

I used to crochet yrs back. I just started learning how to knit and I really enjoy it too!
I wish I had brought my needles /yarn with me.

I'm almost finished some socks - I just have to cast off the toe on 3 different ones. Then I want to start on fingerless gloves for my SIL - last week she saw the pair I knit for myself last winter and really loved them. Hopefully I'll be done these while it is still cold!
My sister is crocheting a hat for herself - I'm tired of her stealing one I bought myself so I got her yarn to make her own.

I have a client who was knitting in the waiting room yesterday before our appointment. She said she was making "arm warmers". Said they are back in style. (?)

I realize you must be casting off a pair and a half of stocks or the second half of 3 pairs
but the above cracked me up this morning

I'm glad I wasn't the only one! Three toed socks!

I've been thinking about fingerless gloves. I really want fingerless gloves. I think I NEED fingerless gloves. I may have the perfect yarn for fingerless gloves. I just don't know if I have the skills.

Anyone have a fingerless glove pattern for knitting noobs who aren't so good are knitting much besides squares and rectangles with fringe?
