I get it.. with my limited knowledge.It was hard to get gauge (worsted on 4mm needles sounds like it'd be really stiff, too) and somehow the yarn being that little bit paler in reality just didn't look great to me.

AwwShe is a beauty - both your girls are
Is that the start of the new pattern you found yesterday?

One always needs a good supurrvisor.I wish Lila had as much interest in this whole yarn thing that Daisy does!![]()
My first pair of socks was Magic Loop, I took a class and I liked it. The way they did the heel in the class was waaayyy beyond me, I just couldn't get it, was so frustrating. I watched YouTube videos and found another method that I could do. My second pair went fine. I'm going to try Vanilla Socks by Crazy Sock Lady next and see how that goes.Thought I would try socks by another new-to-me method.. Magic Loop. I like it and the ribbing is going smoothly, but when I get to the gusset I know I will be challenged. I usually use dpn sock needles, but it is time for something new.

I cannot get the crazy sock lady because she knits left handed and i get confused. Her vanilla sock pattern is a great template fpr any sock,though i am told. I am using several sections from different tutorials. It takes a while to find the right one for me being a visual learner. Some things I have to consider are : too much manipulation and unnecessory hand movement, too much talking, unnecessary music in the background, and camera not brought in close enough. I hope to compleat the cuff today.My first pair of socks was Magic Loop, I took a class and I liked it.

Major surgery! I didn't know, and am very glad to hear you're home and healing.Oh I have missed so much! The new denim blue tweed yarn and project, the mitts and crocheted cats, and others! Had major surgery and out of the loop for a while. Slowly getting back.
I love knitting top down sweaters(jumpers) but big projects are on hold right now.

Had to have a Cat Lady come in for litterboxes and feedings. The 2 definitely know when their Mom is not feeling well and are gentle and love to cuddle.
If you are in need of help as a single older cat mom as you mend from surgery, go for it.
Correct! It hit 41 mid-afternoon. Luckily my unit didn't heat up, it's insulated on the west and east sides (internal walls) and I kept my blockout curtains closed all day. It's nice today, 22C.
I really like that denim tweed! And I love the definition you get with no gaps in the basket weave stitch.Inspection time!

I'm really liking the denim tweed too, it's a nicer shade than I expected. It's impressive that the basket weave is as snug as it is - I'm working DK yarn on 5mm needles (US 8) so you'd think it might be looser. It'll stretch with wear, of course, but I don't want it to be a super cold weather jumper.I really like that denim tweed! And I love the definition you get with no gaps in the basket weave stitch.
