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.

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

Ami - Thank you!

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. ;-)

I teach knitting at my school (apart from French and Latin!) and I have boys in the classes, they love it, also some male teachers have come for instruction, so I think knitting butches make total sense! Sharp objects indeed, I always caution the kids, and besides, one can always use one's Swiss Army knife to cut yarn, can't one?
Couple of years ago I had a very butch middle schooler in knitting, and she was very good so she got to the point she could make a tank top (regular project for the girls at this point) but knowing how she loved boys' clothing, I told her she could make a vest instead, and that I would get other colours for her (we seemed to have an abundance of pastel!)......and she said very loudly : Yesssssssss!!!!
