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!
ReplyDeleteI need to pick up my socks and work on them again. Maybe soon.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty pile of wool. A wrist warmer? Wouldn't you want your fingers warm too? :))
