\nChanging the colours is enough to keep it from being a boring old stockinette sock, and makes the knitting seem faster. I’ve started the second one, but haven’t got far yet.
\nFor any of the Aussie sock knitters out there, Lisa<\/a> has started a Yahoo group called Sockmonsters<\/a>. It’s a group aimed at Australian sock knitters. \ud83d\ude42
\nEm’s cardigan continues. I’ve reached that stage of the sleeve where it just doesn’t seem to grow no matter how much knitting you do. I measured it last night, it had 3 inches to go, I knit about 50 rows \ud83d\ude09 and I still had 2 and a half inches to go.
\nThe plain knitting must really be eating at me – I’m considering a Fair Isle sweater for DH. I’ve never knit Fair Isle. Haven’t a clue how to strand the yarns, no idea what is beginner Fair Isle (is there any such thing?) and what isn’t, and I don’t know where to go for a good kit at a good price. Steeks scare me. Perhaps I should start with a hat or somesuch. Ease myself into it. That way, if I stuff it up, it isn’t such a big deal \ud83d\ude09
\nLet me know if you know a good beginners kit, or some other good place to start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
