Hi,
So...I signed up for the sock of the month club sponsored by Fiber Nooks & Crannys! It should be fun to see what they send each month. There is no minimum time that you must be a member, so join for a month, 2, 6, 8, ... The yarn that they send is typically Opal, which from what I understand is a fingering yarn from Germany. Never used it myself, so it will be fun to try it out. They also send a different pattern each month.
The sky is so bright today. We are having a sign installed with our firm name on it as I write this. This is the first time that I have worked for a place with my name on the door. I am very excited!

Hi,
Well, I was able to do it. I figured out how to enter my blog again. I was concerned because I couldn't seem to find the right combination of username and password.
I am considering joining a sock club. $23 a month. The store (Fiber Nooks and Cranneys) has a sock club that seems like it would be a good fit for me. Nice yarns and the patterns appear challenging and something that I would likely wear. I have to think some more on it, though. $23 per month is a lot at this point for me to spend. Are you a member of a sock club? If so, how do you like it? What do you do with all of the socks that you make?
The weather was beautiful today. I always am amazed that the weather actually gets warmer as spring gets closer. After 41 years you would think that I would not be surprised anymore.
I am going to make blackened fish tonight for dinner to celebrate Mardi Gras. I'll let you know how it turns out. I have never made it before. We were in New Orleans about 1 1/2 weeks ago. There is a lot of rebuilding going on. The City seems to have come together. It was my first time there. Bourbon Street was amazing. I had many different types of food. My favorite was beignets.
Speak with you soon. P.

Welcome!
Welcome!
I just created this blog to reach out to you to chat about knitting and life. I guess that I should start with introducing myself to you. I am 41, a mother of two teenagers, and a lawyer. I am recently married (18 mos.! - still feels like we are honeymooners). I live in the midwest. I have been knitting since I was 8 years old. My mother, a "southpaw", took my sister and I to a local knitting store to learn to knit. I have knit off and on since then. I am looking to improve my skills. There are so many gorgeous patterns out there and wonderful fibers - I sometimes feel that my eyes are bigger than my knitting stomach!
I am currently working on a little hat for my nephew and a pair of socks for myself. I am trying to create the hat pattern as a I go along. This is the third pair of socks that I have knit - ever! So far so good.
I have a couple of questions for you. Have you found that knitting socks with hand dyed yarns is a problem from a color-fast point of view? I wore the last pair that I knit for a couple of hours. When I took them off, my toes were blue! I washed the socks in Woolite. Hopefully, this will help the situation.
What are you working on? Send me a picture! Tell me what interests you in knitting. Why are you doing it? I would love to hear from you.
