All Done!

On the last day of summer, I finally completed Mother's socks. The pattern is a real pleasure to work with. Wish I'd chosen another yarn for this, though. Working with Baby Ull on bamboo needles makes me feel like I'm knitting with cotton yarn - slow.

It was a lot of fun to participate in Summer of Socks - this was a good incentive to get started on new socks, and learn new techniques such as short-rowing toes and heels. Now that I've got this down pat, I'm going to find it easier to get started with socks when I know I can start from the toes easily. And just as I'm finished with this adventure, I'm about to start on another adventure - Socktober, hosted by Lolly. It's so amazing that the list of participants has grown to 800 people! Wow . . . there's absolutely no way I'll be able to get around to checking every single blog on the list. But I'll try to check out at least a few. And I may even contribute a tutorial, if I can figure out where to get a camcorder, get the stuff off it and into the 'puter. I'll have to check in with my sister about this . . .

Now it's back to my UFOs - I do need to clear off some of the items on the WIP list.
