I have recently, at least in the recent past, have taken up knitting. I tried to learn when I was younger, but I had no attention span then. I don't have much now, but it is there. It all started when I had to fly from Hawaii to California with my boss and another employee. To keep myself to myself on this flight, I quickly learned the knit and purl. For the 10 hour round-trip, I knitted away. Kept me busy and out of any "talk too much" situations I tend to find myself in.
The projects I managed to complete is a baby blanket for a friend, a very odd looking purse and a pair of fingerless gloves. Just the other day I learned this very awesome twisted double stitch thing and cranked out a 6 foot scarf in a little under 2 hours. But these 2 hours spanned 2 days. I plan to use this stitch on a wine bag I promised two friends of mine. I started it on a circular needle and it looks much more amazing than I had originally thought. I took a break from it today and knitted, you'll never believe it, a SOCK!
This said sock is a tiny little sock, the top opening only fits your finger. Could be used for a Christmas ornament or a potpourri sachet for your, ahem, sock drawer. I'm going to keep practicing on the little sock, so you may see these for sale on ebay soon. If anyone wants one, leave a comment. I have accumulated all sorts of yarn, and I am on the verge of becoming obsessed.
If interested...here's the link to the very awesome sock instructions: Learn to Knit a Sock
Pictures to follow. !!! <--excited about the SOCK
