This week, I'm scribbling about knitting. I have been trying and trying to master making socks on DPN's. I've started and ripped out so many times. So, decided I would try the magic loop method instead. That, once I caught on is going pretty good. I ordered new needles so that has helped, and working much better. So, with doing the magic loop knitting, it has also helped me get going on the DPN's. Go figure. lol I've crocheted forever, but new to knitting the last few years, then I quit for a while and just picked it back up. The knitting socks became a challenge that I'm determined to win. :)
I'm off to a start.
I am further than this because I got the cuff part done last evening, but no photo, and now I'm on to the leg part, but just a bit of it so far. I also, haven't taken a picture of my DPN cast on because it's only a few rows. I'm using 4 DPN instead of 5 in the size 1 (2.25mm).
I also have been doing a bit of crochet because my daughter saw crochet towel rings on Etsy and wanted me to order for her birthday. I told her I could make those in about 10-15 minutes. No need to order. So, sorry to the person selling the ones my dauther say, but I probably will be doing same on my Etsy once I update my shop.
So, I made her two and included a new towel.
This one, I'm not too proud of because as usual, I couldn't get the right yarn in my area, and no time to order so when I went to look, the closest I could find was macreme cord. It was so splitty and did not work up good at all, but she seemed to like it.
This one worked up okay.I
I also found a nice organizer for my yarn so I could have it handy when ready to knit or crochet. It wasn't a thrift store purchase either. lol It was new, and a great bargain.
Okay, sad story I'm throwing in. Remember couple weeks ago or maybe last month, I shared about the lake where we use to have our boat and camp lot? I also shared the history of the dance hall, the amusement part, and all that was there, and has been for years. First part of March, a tornado came through, actuall 8 tornados. It wiped out the lake area and killed three. It also went down the road where my aprtment is, but luckily it lifted back up, but traveled on then and did more damage. I was so lucky, and have never been so scared, but ended up not that bad for me. I don't have a basement in my little apartmen, but Razzy and I went into the bathroom with cushions from the couch. From the devastation I saw on news, there was no way we would have been safe in that bathroom. Blinds and windows were blowing like crazy, but then as quickly it quit. Must have been when it lifted up over my area. The lake area is devastated, and pretty much gone. So many lost properties, and sadly some their life. I hate those storms, and Ohio usually isn't prone to have them. I never want to be in one that is on the ground after that experience. In Ohio, we have storms and warning, but they usually never amount to much so we're use to ignoring them, but this one, people didn't. Also, the sirens that warn did a great job because I had no clue we were even to have bad weather, but when that went off, I turned on the TV and they were saying to seek shelter immediately. I'm sure others on here have had some storm experiences as well. I was taught to never say you hate anything, but I do hate those and bad storms. Sorry mom. :)
Hey, have a great week, and thanks for visiting me.
