I knit a Sock!

I attempted my first sock on DPN's and I hated the whole process. Now I am using the Magic Loop method and now that I have figured it out, I love it.
My first attempt on DPN's has been ripped out because it was too big and had lots of nasty holes and mistakes.
So I am considering this SOCK my first sock! I have already cast on the second one so that it won't be an orphan.
I have already acquired several skeins of yarn for making socks. Sure wish I could knit faster, or at the very least, have more time to knit. I see tons and tons of lovely lovely hand dyed sock yarn that I am just lusting after.
I think this could be dangerous.

Anyway, here is my first SOCK!

Kids in Hats

Well here are the finished hats modeled by my 3 sweeties. I had fun trying out 3 different patterns for the kids. Now I am looking forward to finding the perfect hat pattern for myself.

In the mean time I am knitting socks! I can't wait to have a complete pair. I had a wonderful time dying yarn with the Fiber Guild ladies last weekend and will take some pictures of the finished yarn soon.

Bags, Bags, Bags

Well I have made another felted bag. I love it so much. It is the cutest little purse.
It is only about 8 inches across and 6 inches deep not counting the handle. It is the exact size I was hoping for.

I am also very busily knitting hats and socks. I have made a spuds hat for each of the children for this winter. They turned out great!
I have not completed a full pair of socks yet, but soon, I love knitting socks. I will share pictures soon.

I will share prefelting and after pics of the bag, that way you can get an idea of what happens during the felting process.
