I filled it instead.
I will confess, I like hand knit socks. I like working with the new computer dyed yarns. Some of you may remember my collection of sock yarn from last year. I have been knitting socks with a few side trips into “baby hat” land. This has been my “sit and watch TV” project all winter. I noticed that when I wanted to wear something pink there were not a lot of socks to coordinate. On Friday, after I went to the library I stopped at my local yarn shop. They had received some new sock yarns and who among us could resist those wonderful colors. There were several that I did resist because they would have been $18.00 per pair and I haven’t gone that high in my spending for socks quite yet.
They even had a pattern for a “wrist warmer”. That looked like fun and the pattern was free so I went home and put my gray socks aside and began the wrist warmer. So now I have the gray sock, pink baby sock, pink baby hat, burgundy childs hat and the wrist warmer all in some stage of completion in the basket beside my bed. I also have a full pink tote once more.

I used to be an avid knitter and have quite a few sweaters made. I find that I can only have so many hobbies. If you put school and a family on top of that, it becomes nearly impossible to have more than one hobbie. Glad to see others enjoy many hobbies. Happy quilting and knitting!
I need to pick up my socks and work on them again. Maybe soon.
Very pretty pile of wool. A wrist warmer? Wouldn't you want your fingers warm too? :))
