I picked it up a year or two ago again and took up sock knitting. Now, I'm back to knitting vests and add in scarves (which I never did in my early days....I jumped right to sweaters), mittens. Currently making a baby sweater. Right....it's just a couple balls of yarn. I'm getting a bad yarn stash now.<br /><br />And, you can make me a caddy and needle roll, too, by the way!

My husband doesn't even bat an eye anymore! I quilt, sew, knit, and crochet. I am the newest to knitting though, and rediscovered crochet only a couple years ago, since it is so portable. Having my grandson full time since birth, has put a bit of a damper on my sewing time. But the handwork is easily transported from room to room, or outside and to the park. It just fits. I LOVE knitting. SO relaxing. I have only made dishcloths and slippers, but I am venturing out to socks this year!!!! LOVE the caddy, and needle roll. MUST. MAKE!!! Enjoy!

I've tried knitting a few times, I know how to do the super basics but when I drop a stitch or something, I have to rip the whole thing out and start over! I just don't know how to fix a simple mistake. I crochet and it's so much faster for me than knitting, but I think the look of knitting is so much better than crochet! It just takes so long!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11724260152507872234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-46743456838550328622011-10-11T05:14:41.562-07:002011-10-11T05:14:41.562-07:00I have been feeling the pull of my crochet hook as...I have been feeling the pull of my crochet hook as of late.
