As promised...progress pic

Here is a picture of my progress with the Cornicopia socks:

I love the spiraling in the pattern, and the colors. And I think these would also make great wrist warmers! I'll be filing this pattern away for just such a project in the future.

so i had my first encounter with wrapped stitches as i worked on the heel of my sock. after making my eyeballs spin for about 10 min, i finally figured out what i was supposed to do with those buggers and my heel turned out quite nice. i'm still partial to turning the heal by slipping stitches on short rows, but i do see the logic behind wrapping stitches. however, i think i need to back up a bit becau… Continue

Continental vs. English

I had a fit of inspiration about a week ago, after listening to one of Kelley's podcasts, to re-learn how to knit. When I first learned how to knit about 2 years ago, a co-worker taught me the English style (holding the yarn in your right hand, and throwing). i felt pretty comfortable in that method, until i had to purl. after listening to an old podcast, and kelley's explanation of how the Continental Style makes purling easier, i thought i would give it a shot. suddenly, my "stress-reliever"… Continue

I tried to log on to this community and wasn't able to. I ended up having to make another website. Just wanted to let people know. I tried to make it like the other one. I hope it was my mistake because I just bought my first computer and I may have done something by accident. I was using the computers at the public library for years. They would take care of any problems for me. Now, I'm on my own.
