Frogged.

Woolpse is right. I'm staring at my scrap of knitting that will soon be frogged and stashed back onto my Ikea Expedit cubbie system. My calves, however muscular, are too big to fit into these epic fair isle socks. Thinking back to last weekend when I discovered this tragic bit of information I nearly cried, swore and promptly explained myself to my friend, Crystal, who was looking at me suspiciously. I suppose anyone else it would seem like the socks fit except I KNEW that the socks stretching themselves to near breaking point not even half way up my calf meant the inevitable frogging.
At my Knitting group, of course I received plenty of support on how to salvage these socks and frankly, I'm kinda over them all together. Good-bye pretty socks.

Getting Started

OK, round 2 of blogging, but hopefully, this time I'll stick to it. It seems that this year has yielded a lot of firsts. For example, this past October I became reunited with knitting and have been on a rampage learning new techniques. I made my first sweater, pair of socks, mini shawlette, etc... I started a blog, but only made one entry and then forgot the e-mail address. Then I got married and moved into a nice apt. with Patrick, My husband.  Then we bought our first couch this past weekend and last month we went to Hawii for the first time. With all these firsts, there can only be seconds to follow... more knitting, traveling, and blogging. Hopefully, this will become my first real blogging experience. Wish me luck.
