Do you see that?! That my friend, that is a Christmas stocking. Yes, it isn't a sock, but I don't want to worry about Second Sock Syndrome just yet. Ever since I broke my wrist, I have been scared to try knitting socks. I had lost all my confidence in my knitting ability. I started thinking that maybe I was only meant to make hats and scarves. Maybe breaking my wrist was a sign that I was never to knit a pair of socks. Tonight, however, I regained my confidence. It might have been due to the fact that I didn't want to work on my Whelk Pattern Dish Cloth, but no matter! I regained my confidence! I am having a minor ladder problem on two of the corners, but it isn't that noticeable, so I am just going to keep going. To be honest, I am partly afraid that if I frog it, I am going to go back to dish cloths or, heaven forbid, the mysterious present that needs to be done in the relatively near future. I am tired of it hanging over my head like a vulture waiting for me to give up. Don't I think of lovely metaphors late at night?
In happier news, I am going to see the Yarn Harlot THIS FRIDAY!!! I am so excited. Maybe I will be on her blog! I could die a happy knitter if that were so. ::sigh:: I totally need to get over this knitter crush. I can't honestly say I am a monogamous knitter crusher. If Wendy (of Wendy Knits) or Ann and Kay (of Mason-Dixon Knitting) came to the nearby area I would be freaking out just as much. This is healthy, right? It has got to be better than doing drugs.

I am from the Providence area myself. The Yarn Harlot is coming here? Where? What time?
ReplyDeleteWhat if you knitted a sock for the tortoise? If you make one big enough for him to hide in you could still avoid second sock syndrome!
ReplyDeleteThe stocking is going to be great. Good luck and have fun with the Harlot
