Sock Dancing

by barbara waters

So I have been gifted with some gorgeous sock yarns . . . and have some in my stash as well. I enjoy (sorta) knitting socks using the multi needle method. I mostly enjoy gifting other folks with my socks - and wearing them myself, of course. (especially right now when the temps are waaaaaaayyy below zero -33 this morning! Ouch!)

I’ve been a bit inactive in my email, too . . . not just here . . . so I decided I’d best check some of the older ones this morning and I’m glad I did. Here’s a clever, toe tapping (pun intended) video promoting a sock knitting book. THAT aside . . . it will likely have you spitting up your drink onto your keyboard . . . so, step away from the keyboard, but take a gander at this from knitting daily.

I’ll bet you have a big smile on your face right now, don’t you? How clever some people are.

Next on the list for Christmas gifting pleasure is youngest grandson modeling his new Ogre My Ogre hat.

I admit I have not seen the movies - or at least not all the way through them, so I was a bit surprised when the young un immediately began poking his little finger into the “horn” or ear of the hat. He was so tickled - “look, Nana! I pulled the wax out!” Ewwwwwwwww was my reaction - then daughters told me that is how Shrek makes his candles. Ohhhhhhh-kayyyyy.

But still? Ewwwww! ;)

It’s a ravelry.com pattern, so you have to be a member to download it . . . but becoming a member is easy-peasy . . . just head on over and ask for an invite. I’m Purplemoose there - come check it out.

About Knitting Passion

Is knitting really a passion? On THIS blog it is - for all who come here. Blog entries will be made up of patterns, photos of in-progress or completed work - off the wall discussions about whatever tickles the author's fancy (Survivor Knitting anyone?). This can be as much YOUR blog as it is the current author's. Questions will be entertained and answers sought diligently. Comments are always welcome - and information ALWAYS appreciated. Will there be stories and pictures of the stash of yarn or the duplicated knitting needles? Will there be more off the wall ideas for knitting? Will there be original patterns or freebies cited? Only the dark of night and the author's amount of caffeine or sleep can determine that.

Ready? ONE - TWO - GET SET - KNIT!
