I've had my eye on these....
Yesterday I took a 24-hour spinning vacation...
I'm still amazed that the pattern calls for a yarn I actually have on hand. Not that I wouldn't sub, but...cool. Very cozy.

Hey, I'm Stacee, the one who Lisa chats with everyday when we pick up our kids... and who also wants to learn to spin. I just thought it was funny, I just went to make copies of that exact pattern from the library book I had to return!! I just need to find the Cork yarn! If I remember right, Wool & Co had it in their little clearance bin a few weeks back. Maybe I'll get lucky! With any luck, all of us can get together after the Thanksgiving mayhem has past.
All right! She de-lurks! ;)
I would be more than glad to get you strated, Stacee...would you like some homework? :)
Those socks look so comfy!
They look great- can't wait to see them on the feets!
Sure, Julie... I'd love some homework! As long as it comes equipped with the money to start another habit!! :-) I figure I should be smart and at least wait until after christmas to start my next craft (money-eating) adventure!! We'll see how that works out.
Julie- I am in knitter's heck and hope you can help me. I was doing your 10 cable infant hat and I was doing great (first time cableling) and then I got to the decrease row and everything went haywire.
So my question is when I start a decreasing row for example, R 26: *SSK, K2, K2tog, P2, C6F, P2* (70 sts), will I have 70 sts at the end and it will exactly end on my stich marker that I had put on when I started the hat?
Please help. I want to finish my hat.
Jessica, yes, exactly -- you begin with 80 sts and decreases 10 sts, so you should end up at the end of your round with 70 sts on the needles. :)
Stacee, LOL, spinning can be aas cheap or as expensive as you'd like it to be. ;) If you're so inclined...go on over to www.spunkyhats.com and order a greensleeves bare bones spindle ($15) and a few ounces of BFL from the "fiber-bulk.natural wools" page ($1.25 per ounce). :D
Ahhh... you're tempting me. I'm not going to claim I will or won't resist--that way I can't be a liar!! Thanks for the link, though. I will at least take a look and go from there. Have a great evening!
Julie-
I figured out what I did, I was doing the ssk wrong (Novice Knitter) Instead of just involving 2 stitches I was involving 3. I went ahead and finished the hat. It's a good functional hat so I will give it to charity. I already started on a new one. Thanks for the pattern.
Those socks look comfy. What book is the pattern from?
They look great, where is the pattern from?
They *are* very cozy! I'm making them for a friend whose feet are always cold. ;) The pattern is from Melanie Falick's Handknit Holidays.
