Great job on the sweaters and sock and mittens. I don't know why some sock yarns pool and others don't. I just keep knitting if it pools because it seems like nothing will stop it! But your sock is cute.Lone Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10933466462415996871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897667.post-37558347138175351122007-02-15T22:01:00.000-05:002007-02-15T22:01:00.000-05:00All your knits are great.

It was on the wall by itself and for some reason did not look attractive to me. I heard that a storm was brewing in the midwest. We had a nursing seminar (Preemie for a day) today and the instructor was afraid she wasn't going to get out of Utah because of the storms. Stay warm, drink tea and knit.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07864486239094681293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897667.post-40665369868064395622007-02-13T21:33:00.000-05:002007-02-13T21:33:00.000-05:00We're snowed/iced in and Mandy has tomorrow off ag...We're snowed/iced in and Mandy has tomorrow off again (she is very happy).

The black stripe really sets it off well. Mittens can be a pain, but if they fit they are wonderful. Love the striped pair. I have to learn the magic loop...someday. There is so much I want to do, but I'm always running out of time. <BR/>Happy knitting :)hakuchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974995854081488052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897667.post-84821003462248633972007-02-13T12:33:00.000-05:002007-02-13T12:33:00.000-05:00We are getting the same weather.

And your son's sweater looks great so does the homespun one. <BR/>I seem to have the same problem with the Mountain yarn you sent me, I love the yarn so much and every now and then I pull it out and squeeze it and pat it (so glad no one sees me do that)but I'm having real trouble deciding on a sock pattern for it. Oh it's been so hot here I wouldn't mind a bit of snow and as for rain we need a lot of rain, the whole continent is extremely dry here in Australia.Helen Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687253497828819548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897667.post-75546018286034212312007-02-12T22:38:00.000-05:002007-02-12T22:38:00.000-05:00Yeah the Homespun doesn't do anything for me eithe...Yeah the Homespun doesn't do anything for me either. I hope you can find the color, if not get a contrasting color and put a stripe at the top and bottom.<BR/><BR/>Your son looks so happy to have his picture taken. :) His sweater looks great though.<BR/><BR/>I love the way the color pools in the sock yarn. They are so pretty.<BR/><BR/>We are going to get the same weather. UGH. Why does it have to be ice and freezing rain? I would much rather have snow that is for sure.<BR/><BR/>What part of Indiana do you live in?~Tonia~https://www.blogger.com/profile/04294277700716794949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897667.post-71836410807682216692007-02-12T20:28:00.000-05:002007-02-12T20:28:00.000-05:00I haven't knitted with Homespun, but I have used i...I haven't knitted with Homespun, but I have used it to crochet a couple of shawls.

I love the black stripe. I like the pooling in your sock. Is that the Tamarack colorway by any chance? I have some Bearfoot in my stash in that color.<BR/><BR/>Stay warm, it's 71 degrees here today!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01561116676473299238noreply@blogger.com
