I haven’t wanted to blog – I keep thinking I have nothing to contribute. I keep wondering why anyone would care? Why share about my kids or my day or my knitting or my thoughts or my grief?
I still don’t think I have anything to say, but I hate that my blog is getting dusty. So, let’s see….oh, I did finish my first sock…made it into a slipper for #1 son – he’s thrilled and anxiously awaiting the match. I did something wrong in picking up the stitches though and there is a hole in the 2nd sock. But he said, it’s your first one mom…just finish it. 🙂 He can be such a nice boy!
Even though I’m still totally confused about picking up the stitches – I really am enjoying socks! My dear SP sent me some Magic Strip yarn and I’ve decided to get going on them. So, today I’m checking my gauge and hope to have them on the needles by this evening.
Of couse someone would care :p There are more folks reading your blog than you realize I bet! Way to go on the sock- I saw the Knitty Gritty sock show and there were some great tips on it: http://www.diynet.com/diy/shows_dkng/episode/0,2046,DIY_18180_36323,00.html
I thought the most useful one was to knit those picked-up stitches through the back loop on the first round to tighten them up. Can’t wait to see the next ones you make!
Hey don’t talk like that! On the socks they are trickier than you would think that they are just take a breath and guess what once you figure it out you will never forget!!

BTW I would be happy to help you with your socks! I am not that far away! We could meet for coffee in downtown sac whenever you would like!
