They work well for that
they yarn sounds lovely
good luck and let us know how you do

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! ;-)

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?

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.

Gayla · 02-26-2011, 05:42 PM

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.

Goo · 04-14-2011, 05:08 PM

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. ;-)
