I have been knitting socks like crazy. I finished the duckies just like my mom's and it got me in the mood for more handknit socks. I guess that's inevitable, right? Well then my mom asked me to teach knitting and touch on sock knitting at her Relief Society meeting, so that got me thinking of the different ways to knit socks. I started a cuff down pair and a toe up pair, it's funny I started this project of comparing the two methods then about a week or two later I saw on facebook a post by Craftsy on <a href="http://blog.craftsy.com/2011/12/the-great-sock-war-dispatch-from-the-front/">"The Great Sock War"</a>. Well I'm not sure which side I'm on. I learned while preparing with my mom to teach the class that I'm not loyal to styles when it comes to knitting. My mom taught me the European way to knit (what some people call left handed knitting), I learned when I was probably 8 or so and then didn't do much because I didn't have any decent patterns at the time and I had no use for hot pads. Fast forward into my twenties when I had my first son and I was ready to knit again. I saw a knitting magazine at the store full of cute patterns for my baby. I looked at the pics of how to cast on, knit, etc and it just came naturally, I thought I was doing it the way my mom taught me. So just because I learned to knit socks cuff down first doesn't mean I have to keep doing it that way if I happen to like the toe up method better. It may depend on the fit of the socks in the end.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I am also doing a favor for my sister, a couple of years ago she had my knit socks for here whole family (all 8 of them plus my nephews fiance). Well now my nephew has 2 sons and my neice got married so 3 more stockings have been requested. I started my nieces hubby's cuz I had the right colors in my stash.</b></span><br />

My Honey was so sweet to take me to it last night even though it was clearly a chick flick through and through. The story was great, inspired by true events and all, but the what I kept thinking the whole time was that Channing's character Leo wore the most awesome sweaters! I just kept thinking oh ahh my Honey would look so hot in that one too, and that would be so fun to knit. I guess I wasn't the only one: <a href="http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/interviews/a363075/channing-tatum-rachel-mcadams-the-vow-interview.html">http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/interviews/a363075/channing-tatum-rachel-mcadams-the-vow-interview.html</a> .

<b>Since these socks have already been posted about as a WIP and they are not totally done I can't post them as an FO, but I am so proud that I finished one sock that I just had to post about it.

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>At the end of knitting a sock from the top down you have to close up your sock and the best way I think to do that is kitchner stitch. If you're not acquainted with kitchner then a good place to learn how is <a href="http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer04/FEATtheresasum04.html">here</a>. She says to chant knit, purl, purl, knit which is a good idea to keep yourself on track. I take a tip from Daniel Son and chant knit off, purl on, purl off, knit on. check out the link and you'll see why. Now on to the next sock!</b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Happy WIP Wednesday! I love progress, but it's hard when it's slow so I'm not even showing you my dad's socks I was working on last WIP Wednesday. It's not that I'm not making progress it's just that well it doesn't look like I am when there are 2 socks. It's like starting over when you start the new sock and I'm not even that far...Boo Hoo. I get bored when things don't move along fast enough so I start new stuff. Plus I just bought gorgeous yarn so who can blame me?
This first one is the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/patterns-from-my-head-blog">Ethereal Triangular Shawl</a> in Cascade Yarns Alpaca Lace. It's for Nate's Grandma for Christmas. I really hope it turns out good. I started it and then realized that I need a chart keeper so this one may sit like this until I find one. </span></b></div>

<b style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Next we have the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/belfast-hoodie">Lovely Belfast</a>. I'm using Berroco Inca Gold which is being discontinued. So sad because it is truly a joy to knit with and it knits up so beautifully with such a nice twist.I am really excited for this one and I work on it a little too much I even brought it up to my cabin and knit it there. I usually don't get the chance to knit there because we go on hikes and stuff, but my nieces and I had a little impromptu craft circle. They were making friendship bracelets and so I joined in and knitted. Now they all want to have a craft sleepover and I'll teach them to knit. So fun! I really should work on Christmas presents so next week will probably be full of those. </span></b><br />

I think the flower is too big though :( but it will have to suffice for now. And just so you know it's paper clipped on in the pics because I don't have anything better right now.

I had hoped to start all my Christmas knitting last month, but I came home from Lake Powell in such a funk I didn't get much of anything done really my house was a mess, then football started and that's a whole other story. But now it is August, the kids are back in school, my house is finally tidy most of the time so I can focus a little better. I am really excited that I have gotten this far on these socks because the last time I attempted them my stinky Milo pulled all four DPN's out. GRRR!!! Really can you blame the guy it must be quite an interesting thing for a 2 year old. Anyhow I was very upset and needed a brake before I started again. So my dad did not get a pair of Mr.Pitts socks for Christmas last year, but maybe this year will be different (I hope).</b><br />

I don't know if anyone even reads this blog. I read/stalk several knitting blogs so just in case someone else in cyber space needs some inspiration, I would like to be able to offer that. To help me be more consistent I will be starting some new features, (plus it might help me finish projects)such as: Work-In-Progress Wednesday and maybe Finished-Object(FO)Friday, and maybe Sunday Inspirations. Hopefully this will produce at least one post a week.</b><br />
<br />
<b>So...for this <i>WIP</i> Wednesday</b><br />
<b>I give you a lace and cable hat that I hope will be slouchy once it's blocked. It is made with Cleckheaton country silk 8 ply in chocolate that I bought from <a href="http://www.discontinuedbrandnameyarn.com/shop/">DBNY</a>. Love that place, but it can be bittersweet because I love this yarn and of course it is discontinued. I am hoping this hat doesn't become a lesson in gauging because I am an idiot and didn't check my gauge because I have knit with it and the same needle size before <a href="http://knittinggal.blogspot.com/2009/09/finished-1-out-of-4.html">here</a>, but not this particular stitch pattern.</b><br />

I started out wanting to make just a simple swingy-cardi-vest type thing, but I got bored so it will probably end up still a swingy-cardi-vest, but with some lace up the back and around the front. I just need to do some math. It is made with yarn that I bought for another project <a href="http://knittinggal.blogspot.com/2010/02/slow-current-projects.html">here</a> and<a href="http://knittinggal.blogspot.com/2011/05/i-take-each-day-one-stitch-at-time.html"> here</a>, but it failed so I ripped it out thus the new design. Both of these WIP's are my designs by the way. The yarn is Naturally Caron SPA ocean spray and it's super soft, but a little splitty. I know that's not a word, but it's the best way I have to describe it. </b><br />

I call it basket weave scarf, super creative name I know! If you can think of a better name let me know. I love these infinite scarfs that stay around you neck right where you need them when your bending over shoveling, not falling open like traditional scarfs. I really wanted an interesting texture to work with and to see and feel after it was done. I thought about lace, but I really wanted it to be warm what with all the freezing temps lately. So basket weave it became, it was a fun stitch pattern to work with kind of addictive. I have a purse in mind to use it. It is a very solid and warm stitch pattern also. I knitted the scarf in two balls of Knitpicks Andean silk Merryweather.</span><br />

This pic is kinda weird because of the way I am holding my head, but I wanted to show the cable better. I think my pattern needs a little tweaking also I think I will use different yarn this one is a little too stiff although soft(Lion Brand organic cotton).<br />
