About Me:

I've lived in the Sacramento area all of my life. I work as a sign language Interpreter at an elementary school. I began in earnest to knit again in 2001, after my dad, father-in-law, and cousin died within a 2 month period. Knitting helped me "keep my sanity" and reminded me how much fun it was! I've been doing it since. Can't seem to put those needles down!
My family, husband, sons, "pretend granddaughter, and aunts, friends and the cancer center have all been recipients of various shawls, afghans, capelets, chemo hats, gloves, purses, and socks on many occasions.

Hope all is well and happy knitting. Irene

Ha Ha, Irene

At 5:28pm on April 11, 2008, Marty said…: Hi, thanks so much for the heel turning advice. And, no, it was not confusing at all. The problem that I was having turned out to be a pattern error and the magazine editor contacted me with the omitted instruction. I liked your instruction better. I have never seen a sock book and that's my fault for not having done any homework prior to beginning my first pair! I am fearless about knitting and will try any pattern.
Thanks for your advice ~ knitting keeps my sanity too!
