I find knitting long, boring and complicated. I like knitted things.. but I NEVER fail to appreciate and admire any knitted item.... because I KNOW how much time and patience goes into knitting it!
That being said.... I started a pair of socks.... BiRKEN"SOCKS.".. you know.. big funny socks that you wear with your birkenstocks... well, actually, I have made about 5 pairs over the past few years but... I started a pair on our trip to Ontario.. just Terry and I in the car. The trip was in the summer of 2007. I knit one entire sock on the way up to Ontario and started the second sock on the way back. then I drove a lot of the way back and therefore didn't knit much. That was 16 months ago...
In cleaning up my room the other day... you know, one of those DEEP cleans... I found the finished sock, and the unfinished sock. they are BUTT ugly... but funny to wear camping or something. I am going to finish the second sock... and have I told you .... I HATE knitting... well I do..
but I am going to finish it!
This is the first finished sock and

OMG, if I look closely at the finished sock and the one you're working on, you only have a few rows to do. It's amazing how quick it will go. Really you don't hate knitting that much do you? I remember when you were 18, you were knitting those lopie sweaters effortlessly and I thought you were amazing. I don't think I could knit at that time but I was certainly impressed by my little sister.
It's knitting 101 over here too - I just started teaching Danielle to knit socks yesterday!
I have to admit Donna, that I hate knitting, too!
OMG, those are NOT butt ugly, they are COOL and they look sooooo warm! I wouldn't mind having a pair or 2 of those as my feet NEVER get warm enough in the winter!! Living with 3 out of 5 very hot natured people the thermostat stays low and I wear layers..and socks!
