Sharonsknitthings

I've been really busy this morning, getting ready for my downstate trip to take care of grandson Jerome for the week. I normally come back on Saturday morning but need to return on Friday evening this time, since I'm teaching a sock class on Saturday morning. The class is based on using two circulars, and I've taught it several times already, with some success. I occasionally run into gals that have taken the class and some report that they are going great making socks on two circulars. We start out with worsted wt to insure success and to give them a chance to learn both sock knitting and the two circular method with fast results. Many then go on to sock yarn and smaller needles. The class is two hours over a 3 week period, so there is plenty of time to learn the many techniques needed to master sock knitting.

I've been slugging away on quite a few projects as usual. I get bored with my projects about 3/4 of the way through, so I start something else. Of course, that creates many projects.!!!! Here's a picture of my latest design, using microspun and sz 6 needles. Very fun, but as you can see it still needs a sleeve. Meantime I started a child's top down with a cable panel, and I'm just beginning to do the increases for the raglan seams while creating the cable panel. Lots of fun and very satisfying to me to do a project that calls for a bit of a challenge.
