So much for being fearless with those darned socks! I say, anyone who knits with fingering weight yarn or smaller is nuts! I couldn't hold the yarn never mind the size 2 dpn's...my fat fingers had managed to get about 3 rounds in when I made a mistake. Yup, you guessed it. I frogged the whole thing. I won't give up on socks, but I won't make the mistake of trying to knit them with anything less than worsted or aran weight yarn. Patience, I'm learning, takes more patience than I can think of mustering. If I had all day and could concentrate on it maybe I would continue on. In any case, I've already agreed to make a trade with a girlfriend. She wants the Sockatta yarn and is willing to trade a couple of skeins of 100% wool for it.
I've got a coin purse I'm in the process of felting and I'm anxious to see how it comes out. If successful, I'm going to start making purses and matching coin purses to sell at fairs this coming summer.
This is short because LD's having his lunch! Gotta go check on my project!
Ciao and Happy Knitting!
