Moving Right Along

 My Gogo Grassy Dream in Color Smooshy socks. 
They are going to be for someone with a bigger foot than mine. 
I found a you tube instructional that let me skip the kitchener and crochet the seam at the toes together.  
I'm in heaven.
This is the Wandering Cat cashmere sock yarn on the winder. 
I am waiting to finish the Gogo socks before I cast on the Hibiscus.

Mixed interest in a swap. 
I think I'll hold off as the coordinator. 
My swap idea needed a bigger group.
Those who were interested were:
Deb, Kim, Linda, Bridget and Vera.
You could swap amongst each other.

That's a nice sturdy looking sock. Just what you need in February!
I'm still in for the swap. Sounds like fun.

Your socks are coming along great! I would be very interested in being part of a swap, but I have health issues right now that are keeping me pretty much confined to home because the doctor won't let me drive alone and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to for fill my end of the swap.
Blessings, Betsy

How do you like feeling inside with your foot a crochet seam rather than Kitchener?

I missed your post. I'd do a swap!

Proof I am strange: I love kitchnering!

I'd swap too, sorry I missed that.

Anyhow, I am not feeling your crochet seam thing. two things that give me the willies. I believe in you. I believe in the kitchener. You must lock yourself away from the people. and know at what points if you have to pause to pause. Other than that, it's just the set up row that I space out these days. I always have to look it up.

Please share the link to the crochet grafting technique. It sounds interesting even though I enjoy using the Kitchener stitch.

I love a good queue on the sock knitting!

Small swaps are just as much fun as big ones; I'm still in.

Crocheting knit pieces together is the way I was taught, and I'm much better at it than mattress stitching.

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 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...
