So... my shoulder is being stubborn, but I'm doing just fine!

An Opportunity

I've decided to use this forced knitting hiatus as an opportunity.

2 Things

1st the good thing...
This toddler sweater is made from a pattern I ripped out of some (unknown now) magazine in 1981 when I had my 1st baby.

Frogging Nutkins and More

6 repeats in and I could see there was a problem - just look at the bias on these socks!

Florenz and UNtangling

It looks all fancy and complicated, but it's just a slip stitch pattern - using one color for 2 rounds...no stranding except for the corrugated rib cuff. I LOVE the sole of these socks and keep thinking I might like a whole sock made from that easy pattern.

Bosnian Patterned Mittens

I bought this kit almost 3 years ago just before we left on a road trip to Alaska - I love kits for vacation knitting - all so nice and compact and ready to go! ANYWAY - I never even pulled the yarn out of the bag on that trip, but there it was still nicely packaged and waiting for me this winter.

Life is quite full and I'm enjoying time with family and friends, but I decided to sneak in and at least put up a short post.
