My First Skein of Woolmeise

I was soooo upset and down in the dumps last week, when
I did not get any Woolmeise from the site where I usually purchase my sock yarn from. But to my surprise and joy, the Woolmeise Fairy (yes I do believe in them and have one of my very own!!) handed me my very first skein. It was about the most beautiful thing that I have seen in awhile. The colors are so nice and it feels sooo soft. I was very excited but couldn't show it right then and there, because we were in a place where we can't get to rowdy....But when I got home I told my sister and let out a hip hip hooray!!!! She didn't understand why I was so happy to have yet another skein of yarn to add to my collection, but was happy for me because I was so happy.

Now I just need to find the right sock pattern to knit.
Thank you so much my Woolmeise Fairy you are truly the best!!!!

Time to clean out!

I finally managed to prganize my "knitting closet". This should have been done a long time ago. I bought 2 big tubs in addition to the one really big one that I had. Boy oh Boy did I have a lot of yarn. (but then don't we all) I even managed to organize and keep a tally on how many and what kind of needles I have. My sister was amazed to see how much yarn that I had. But we all knows what this means don't we? Now that I cleaned out, that means that I have room for more yarn. :0)

"Hats Off" to me!!!

I just finished my first piece that is all mine. I have knitted for other people, but seldom for myself. Isn't that how it goes. Ok, so maybe I have 1 scarf that I knitted for myself. I managed to finish it yesterday. It was a vey easy twisted rib pattern that I love. I do like hats so I think that hats and socks may be my thing.

Here they are...the infamous yellow socks!!!

Ok everyone here's the finished pain in the @%*! socks. My sister loves them. She has worn them sooooo many times already and they look nice on her feet. Even though they were a pain to knit (right Zonda) the final product turned out really good. However, I am glad that these are behind me and I learned a very valuable lesson. When someone tells you to NOT use a certain needle listen to them. Do not try to be a bad @!* and use them anyway. This was a major problem, the type of needle that I used didn't work for me.
