Get crazy about socks.

[poet_girl_913]

I have been wanting to knit socks for a long time and I was finally overcome with desire. Ideas like this can overcome me at times, as people who know me well can testify to, haha. So, I dug all over the house and finally found a box of "Pick-Up-Sticks". Yes, I'm too poor to buy new needles. Then I grabbed some random blue acrylic yarn, pulled

aah, finally some time.

I sooo wish I could have seen you knitting with pick-up sticks. One of my life's great regrets I tell you.

Oh, and how are you doing?

Ok, so maybe I REALLY need to take a picture. I brought my sock to knitting, yes, everyone laughed, but with me, not at me, haha. They thought at first that I was saying that double-pointed needles are LIKE pick up sticks. "Yes, they are, but these ARE pickup sticks!" Haha.

It was fun at knitting last night. That was good for me. I'm still alive. I'll be sure to reply to your email today with more details. Thanks for commenting!!!

Oh and I have at least five icons made, waiting to be posted WITH bases. So sometime this summer......

Hi Kaitlin!
We're ba-ack:) That's really neat that you're doing a sock, esp. with pick-up-sticks, that is very ingenious of you! You'll have to post picks, I'd love to see them. Turning isn't bad, as long as they give you proper directions(mine didn't and I had to go ask the "Yarn Lady")! Good luck with it, have fun at Summit!

Hi there!
I just thought I'd let you know that I finally posted that headwarmer pattern I promised to post eons ago. It's linked here.

Enjoy!
(And congrats on starting to knit socks! I still haven't gotten the gumption for that. Plus, I hardly ever wear socks. I'm a very California-weather type of girl. :P)

Thanks for linking me to the post! I've actually been out of town, so would have missed the update on the community.

Socks are so fun! And you could always knit them as a gift for a sock wearing friend. I can't wait to get real needles and more off the substitutes. :)

Kaitlin, you should post more.

Debate me! Fire questions into cyberspace! Write a Characer Sketch!

I miss your posts!

Sorry....yes I feel guilty. Actually I'd rather be more consistent with my blog, but....

See, if I post something random, but cool. You will respond and that's it, so I might as well just email you. Understand?

But I'll try.
