I got this great and beautiful knitting book,
Knitting circles around socks and I love it. So, I started trying to teach myself the technique. The directions are clear, the photo diagrams above average, so I decided the Hell with it lets try it. Let me say, that it probably takes getting used to, as does any technique, so I was a little awkward at it. Finally, I go all my stitches on arranged and the loops closed, I even knitted another round, YEAH! Then tragedy struck, the baby woke up screaming, (she does this to let me know she is in charge:) and I rushed to put the knitting down and get up when I pulled on the stitches and ripped them right off the needle! Yes, I know I should have out point protectors on first, UGH! F&*King S*&T was what came out of my mouth. (For everyone wondering what I am exposing my baby too, she was in her crib upstairs, but her monitor was right next to my ear).
So now I am taking a break from it I was so pissed at myself! It took me a while to get it, read and process it and then CO so it was pretty devastating even though it was only 2 rows.
Now I am back to knitting the formerly hibernating Blossom dress for Kennedy in Bamboo. I love the yarn and decided that it will be a closer weight if I knit it with 2 strands at a time, plus it will go a lot faster and since this is a stockinette pattern that can get boring to this non- mediatative knitter I need to see progress.
For now I am back to having the sock book mock me from my coffee table.....

Oh the woes of sock knitting. I have 2 single socks and haven't cast on in a while. What is this blossom dress you are talking about. Looking for a cute cotton knit for Norah.
the sock book will continue to mock you, no worries...
you conquer everything you do (except cooking because you do not like to cook:)
Sop try it again and do not let it mock you.
YOU CAN DO IT =)
