Hats and Socks

By -

 Do you have a favorite thing to knit?  Socks are the best for me.   I have knitted more socks than anything e1se in my knit hobby.  Or, passion, I can say!

I knew it wou1d cheer me up if I bought some sock yarn.  So , Fireman drove me to the Fo1d , in Marengo .   The owner is out in the midd1e of nowhere, but so worth it to drive to her store.  I bought 3 socks yarns.  They are making me so happy.  I immediate1y cast on and wi11 show you tomorrow. 

For today, here is my friend Mark with the hat I knit for him.  He 1oves it.  It does 1ook doub1y warm with the brim fo1ded  up.  



I watched a you tube on F1exi F1ip need1es yesterday , too.  They showed how you can knit a hat on just two f1exi f1ips .  So , You know I wi11 be trying that too. .

More on the yarns 1ater.

*Are you fee1ing iso1ated?
Yes! It won't stop snowing, and I hate driving in snowy and icy conditions.

*Are you knitting more or 1ess this winter?
I'm knitting less, thanks to arthritis and a flare-up of my cervical myofasciitis. I am trying not to take NSAIDS.

*Do you have a fAVorite set of need1es or hooks?
Yes; I like knitting with bamboo needles the best of all.

*Va1entine candy or Ha11oween?
I like the red jelly hearts, like gumdrops. But I'll take any seasonal Reese's!

I think socks are addictive, though I got to the point where I only knit one pair last year, I think I'm all socked out.

Socks are definitely my “go to” knit project because they are so portable. Always fun to see photos of hand knits being appreciated and loved.

*Are you knitting more or 1ess this winter ? I think I am knitting about the same.

*Do you have a fAVorite set of need1es or hooks ? I do. I like Knitter's Pride Zings

*Va1entine candy or Ha11oween? I don't eat much candy, but ANY time is a good time for candy.


I would suppose my favorite thing to knit would be socks, but really...all knitting is good knitting. Except for hats . . . I really hate making hats and I've done TWO for Steve last year.

Nice hat!
I am feeling very isolated. I think the last few weeks have been the hardest so far. It's hard to be in isolation when everyone else is just going about life like there is nothing going on. We are trying so hard to stay safe until we see the newborn.
I am not knitting more. It's hard to get excited about anything these days including knitting. This really, really cold weather isn't helping.

The hat looks really warm and cosy! In crochet my favourite things to crochet are baby hats. They are lovely and small so they don’t take too long to make and they can be quite a fun make if you add little ears or an animal face 😊As for socks I am useless at crocheting socks so I am envious of all the lovely socks you and other bloggers make 🌸. Keep well. Amanda x

I guess socks are my favorite think to knit, though I like shawls too. I do not feel isolated at all. I am knitting about the same amount, stitching more and reading is about the same. It's all good!

Well, I think I figured it out. I am not isolated but do miss seeing our family in Chicago. I am knitting more and trying to use up my endless supply of yarn! I am up for knitting almost anything but am not too crazy about sweaters. (They take me forever.) I love anything chocolate, no matter the season.

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 have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

I'm Making Bunny Rabbits

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
