You learn to love solids/semis as you knit more. It IS so nice not to have to fight w/yarn.

thanks Mindy...a super fast knit and I knit the whole thing in the dark, so super easy too. I think it is meant to have the gathers in the back but I really like them on the side.

and yes, Carolyn sure does.

as always, your yarn is beautiful. I wish I had your love of sock knitting. I keep thinking it will come.

I don't have the book yet but it'd be worth buying just for that I think.

mei tai would be so cute!

yay, it should be easy to learn. It's so handy to have a sewing machine.

Had a nice day of knitting and American Horror Story. It just came "free" on amazon prime so I am trying it out. A few people at work are watching and told me to try it. So far it is good.
