Not really sure how to do this, but I'm going to try...

Monkeys....

I've been doing No Purl Monkey socks for my hubs. I had started out making them for me, but Tofutsies is a really STINKIN slippery yarn, and it fell off my metal needles 4 FREAKIN times, and I had to frog them completely and start over. So the last time, I started them again, with a different yarn, but didn't do a gauge swatch, didn't even mess with them, I was so flustered until I was about done with them. LOL I was making them for me, I thought, (Size 8.5 -9 women's sizes) and the first one fit my hubs, who wears a size 13 MENS shoe. LOL OOOOPS. Guess those gauge swatches really are important.
The reason I'm doing the monkeys is I'm part of a Ravelry group that does a knit along every month, that this month is was doing a pattern from Cookie A. (she has a lot of stuff on Knitty that is available for free. She does really interesting sock patterns.)
But I'm almost done with the second sock for Marty. I'm going to start another pair for me really soon. After I do this, I'm going to brave on and start doing cables. I'm going to make a dishcloth first, just to get the technique down, make sure I really do get it. I don't know why I seem so afraid of them, if I screw it up, they can always be frogged. LOL

new blog...

Okay, I have another blog for my real life "stuff", but this one is going to be for the knitting. I've been knitting for just over a year, and I've become rather obsessed with it. Especially socks.
Things are rather unorganized right now, so when I find my camera, I'll post some pics of the stuff I've done lately.
