Maureen's Fabric Postcard and the Knitting Saga Continues

I received a lovely fabric postcard from Maureen, who is in my Arts'n the Mail Group. It was for the "w" swap , and she made "w" represent "weaving", as you can see by the pic. I loved the colours that she used and the embellishments. Thanks so much!

As to my knitting, I am having a blast with it!! I am doing a wonderful long scarf using a beautiful wool and nylon yarn that I got, and it is going along so well. I am doing the ribbed stitch throughout the scarf...Knit 2 and Purl 2...The book Stitch 'N Bitch really is a great reference book, but I got a wonderful dvd in the mail that I have been using called "The Beginner's Guide to Knitting" by Nici McNally. It is awesome! Since I picked up the knit and purl stitch so well, and I have the speed and gauge right, I am moving on to the dreaded sock.LOL It was recommended by a friend that I get the dvds made by Nenah Galati whom you should check out at http://www.knittingkorner.com/ I am going to get the Sock 1 Kit which includes the dvd, yarn and turbo needles. I hear that it is a great dvd. Well, I am eager to learn how to make socks and hope that it is not too bad with the circular needles and Nenah's dvd.

This month, I am ordering Denise's Interchangeable Needle set at The Knitting Parlour in the UK which you can see at http://www.theknittingparlour.co.uk/ . I am getting it in pink and it gives you needles in sizes 3.75-10mm, which makes either circular or straight needles. Also, I have some crochet hooks to get, the Clover Knitting Kit, and some yarn.

I am known as the sock lady , as I am always wearing very unique socks...funny ones, like the ones I am wearing now, which have pink pigs on them, so I can't wait to knit my own socks! What can I say? Knitting is very addictive!
