Finally got my first socks knitted and done. They are a bit looser than I would like. I love the color way, the browns, some greens.
It's a wool blend.
Lost the wrapper so can't give specifics. They were hand dyed.
Then I washed them, a little to long in the washer...not good...
They came out alittle felted, which was good as far as the stitches, being a bit too loose and open. But now, they are really short, they still fit. sigh, I will continue on this sock knitting venue...they...are not the boss of me...hmph!
Over the weekend I started working on a project for a certain someone who is my partner in a swap.
Love the way it turned out. I also did some creative machine embroidery. Very fun.
I could not resist joining the Paris in the Springtime swap.
I am working on more designs to use in my bags, pictures, pillows, etc, Hoping soon, to be opening my own Etsey shop!
I find this work, flowing for me, and "working" creatively onto the direction I think I am too go!
Hi Cynthia
Just read one of your posts to Penni's site. She's awesome, isn't she?
The reason I'm writing is because I have dealt with the food issues as well, and wanted to offer my encouragement.
On my blog I post my imperfect journey. We don't have to be perfect to be making progress!
I see you are a knitter! Haven't posted anything on my knitting yet - but that's a good idea for another blog. I love to knit and crochet, and have also learned how to spin my own yarn.
Have a super day
Mary
