On a roll...

Miss M outgrew her socks that I knit for her a while back... she loved the colors, and when I saw a Patons yarn (Winter Eclipse colorway)that matched to old outgrown socks I thought that they would be perfect for another pair for my sweet little girl. They are almost to the toe, I am knitting them at the same time, knitting on one then switching to the other, both on DPNs. Miss M is home today, a little under the weather... so she will have a nice little surprise later when I finish them... she is a pleasure to knit for, she dances around and is beyond excited when she gets something hand-knit.

Just one more thing I LOVE about knitting, I can relax, entertaining myself, playing with sticks and string and make something useful... yes, I loved doing cross-stitch... but how many cross-stitch projects do I want hanging on the wall? Especially, given that we are a bit on the minimalist side of decorating....

I think that's why I gave away a lot of my cross stitch projects. I still enjoy them and am working on a large tablecloth (the neverending project 15 yrs and counting). At least my knitted things get used.
