Oh the People you Meet

I finished my little cranberry socks yesterday and they are mine all mine. I was knitting the toe in a doctor's waiting room when a wonderful little old lady sat next to me and started the knit chatter!

Fireman was laughing behind his magazine because we knit nuts just find each other and take off.
She's a big Stephen West fan. She loves Paigewood farms sock yarns.
Wahoo. New yarn for me to try!
I've never heard of Paigewood farms have you??

She loves to knit socks, she says, because When you are done, you are done! (no seams or finishing.....or the like) I began to wonder if we were twins....
just a few decades apart....

(The skein shown is what Santa brought and yes, I've already cast on another pair of socks)


I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

What fun story. And yes, the Knight would have guffawed, and probably not politely behind a magazine!

I have some Paigewood in my stash... maybe?

Paigewood Farms yarn is yummy! I knitted a pair of socks with it and love them.
I've also used Lorna's Lace which I love! My grandkids gave me a gift certificate so I just ordered some Lorna's Laces Solemate to try.
Love your socks!

2012 is my year to learn to knit socks. I don't why I find socks so intimidating! The pair you made are beautiful and look so cozy. Great work!

Lovely socks!!! I've knit one pair from Paigewood and it's fabulous!

I agree about the fact that when socks are done, they're done!!!

I've never heard of Paigewood Farms yarn either.

It is fun to knit in public because it is such a great ice breaker. Chances are, if you weren't knitting, the woman never would have started a conversation with you.

I have Pagewood farms Yukon and Chugiak. I haven't used either one but they feel great.

I agree. Santa does have good taste.

I LOVE your cranberry socks!!! They look very comfy too. I've heard of Pagewood Farms before. Its a really soft yarn and knits up beautifully! I dont have any but a friend of mine does. NICE!

and of course we find fellow knitters, esp when you are knitting yourself!!! I agree with that woman, I LOVE knitting socks because once you are done, you are DONE! I love having a different heel and toe for my socks, but even that I hate to weave in.

Nice socks from Santa!

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
