Or at least come down for a browse through the market and dinner or something! It would be great to see you!

And I was laughing at myself so hard when I saw the puzzle... First thing I thought was, "Weaving setts!" Oh, my... Happy New Year, Sarah, and good luck with the sock yarn. Or the solution. Contrast is always good! Pretty, pretty sock! And I was laughing at myself so hard when I saw the puzzle… First thing I thought was, “Weaving setts!” Oh, my…

Well, one goes back and re-knits the toe and heel from a complimentary yarn! Good luck - hope you have enough. Whatever does one do when one runs out of yarn an inch or less from the end of a sock?

It's very rare that anyone sees the toes of the socks anyway. But as you know, I was never exactly a stickler for detail...

Glad to know you are knitting again! And really, Y not? As far as cats go, well, I think getting them to do anything civilized will be nigh unto impossible. Catnip might prove distracting however. Doesn't catnip trump yarn? Michele, so great to hear from you! Glad to know you are knitting again! And really, Y not?

I did not do well (to say the least) with the "regular" way, so I'm trying the German way ("continental"). Hey, they make great cars... why not great knitting...I received the book "Y Not Knit" by Jill and Susan Wolcott for Christmas and have read it cover to cover already. I think my family would like me to try and take my knitting to a higher level...something past scarfs and pot holders...only in time my dear ones. I also received the book "The Crochet Answer Book" (the "Life Answer Book" was sold out!). Question: how do you get the cat NOT to chase your yarn while you are working on a project? She has bitten my yarn in half many times! Sarah... your yarn is beautiful! I would like to have some! Something that would look good as a scarf or a pot holder... I have just sent my little infant hats that I crocheted for the "Caps to the Capital" project for Save the Children. I hope others were able to participate in that project also. Love, hugs and kisses to you both and good knitting! Hello to my loving cousins…I have taken up knitting (again) and am trying to reteach myself all that Grandma Bales tried to teach me 30 years ago.
