Let's be honest ...

I have attempted and not succeeded in knitting four (4!) sweaters in the past year. What I have finished is eight hats, two scarves, and a handful of dishcloths. Yay for me, but for all my ambition I am tiny bit down on my inability to see my big projects through to completion. I guess that's not entirely fair because I did finish one sweater that was too big after washing & blocking -- so it got frogged. I'm just trying to get right with reality in my knitting.

At any rate, I cannot fret over sweaters with the holidays upon us. I'm going to make some socks ... this is my hope anyway. Everyone on my list really deserves a nice pair of socks, but I will be thrilled if even one lucky person gets a pair handmade by me. I suppose I could give yarn with IOUs attached ... and then, you know, take it right back.

It's scary, this sock business!

There are so many knitting videos on you tube ... and even though I'll probably go toe-up, this is good viewing ...
