Little Bit Here....

...and a little bit there. I have started the toe on my MicroSpun socks. Had some cream left over from the Ankh dishcloth so I'm striping the toes blue and white praying they'll be enough for both socks. Should be able to get those done today and will have a pic for y'all tomorrow.

I got a few more rows done on the sweater. I screwed up a fix on the hat I was knitting so frogged that and started over last night while watching my TV shows in the wonderful seclusion of my room.

F came over to visit yesterday afternoon. He fixed the vacuum cleaner (yeah!) It just needed the belt replaced. We thought one of the screw heads was stripped but it was just too tight. So now the fluff left behind by my fluffy dog will get picked up!

Speaking of fluffy dogs..... This is from The Knitting Fiend's <--click blog. My daughter wanted to know if it was a sheep dog....

She also has a bunch of information <--click for sock knitters. Kind of a central location for tips and tricks. There are sock calculators for several different kinds of socks. Of course, I think this Basic Sock Chart <--click is a great source of information and so portable!

And look at this sweater from The Rainey Sisters blog. There are more close ups of it there.

I have got to learn how to do color work..... Anyone know of a nice easy pattern for something I can practice on? Oh and a tutorial. Scratch that, I think found one yesterday at TECHknitting <--click but have to wait for the next installment. Oh well, in the mean time I can gather my class materials! Wool yarn (non-superwash) and needles, and some kind of a pattern......
