Well, I might as well start with some knitting content. Last Christmas (and I mean Christmas ‘06, for Pete’s sake) I offered to make my mom a pair of socks. Thank goodness she’s laid back, because it took me over a year to finish them:
Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport in Mountain Creek. Nothing fancy, just double moss stitch.
They’re sitting on my new Knitter’s Block that I got at Stitches West in February. I’m a relative newcomer to the whole world o’ fiber, and this was my first Stitches. I didn’t take any classes– maybe next year– just wandered around the convention floor until I got over-saturated with all the input. I couldn’t take it all in, but it was a good opportunity to see some local friends who don’t have a brick-and-mortar shop (yet), and get supplies to knit my own rockin’ socks.
By the way, I’m not the only one in the family who loves fiber. Here’s Her Catness with some of my loot from the show:
