However, I am so involved with painting ceramics that I do not take the time to knitanymore. <br />Knowing how to, makes one appreciate the fine hand knitting that can still be found.<br />Knitting socks is time consuming but with the help of a good instruction book it's not such a big deal. <br />Leave knitting of socks to someone else.

And when you are knitting the heel you have to set aside a bunch of stitches on a stitch holder, then once the heel is finished (which is complicated) you pick up the reserved stitches and finish the sock, remembering to reduce stitches as you go along. My mind always wanted to be occupied with more important things.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-2694317316832411392011-01-16T07:40:00.027-07:002011-01-16T07:40:00.027-07:00Dear Tasiaa, that is the wonderful thing about li...Dear Tasiaa, that is the wonderful thing about living somewhat isolated and in the countryside...
