Any Other Self-Taught Hookers Here?


Recommended Posts

Couple of things here

 

1. I had no idea one could enter yarn crafts into the state fair. I am working on a blanket that I will have to enter into the State Fair. Hmmm

 

2. How do you get your socks to match? Granted, life is too short for matching socks, but I never even get close.

 

I won $3 for getting a Blue RIbbon too! WOOHOO!

 

Matching sock size? or stripes? As far as stripe patterns, I don't give a rip about them matching up. 

 

Now- matching size? Once I figured out how to do them on double point needles and got the techniques down, I got a book by Antje Gillingham and I have made many a pair Two-at-a-Time-on-Two-Circulars. A bit fiddly but they come out identically sized and finished at the same time. Helps you avoid the Single Sock Syndrome...

 

ps- if you are on Ravelry I am LHJ there you can check out what I have done. My Blue Ribbon socks are bright green. I have been on a knitting hiatus for a while as I got heavy into quilting....
