Memories! The Knitting Summer of 2006!

This summer was when I started to knit. I went on vacation to LBI with my Aunt Janice and cousin Juli. This is when the sock adventure began! We got the yarn at this little knitting shop on the island known as Island knits. The yarn is called sockotta. We also bought the tiniest needles I had ever seen in my life. After a lot of yelling and ripping and starting over again we sorta got the hang of it! We knitted when we woke up, before we went to bed, and sometimes even during the day. Besides knitting we spent our time gettin henna tattoe's, goin to Bay Village, going to the arcades at Fantasy Island( we won amazing prizes!!), lots of food, and plenty of time in the sun! During all this we were very fashionable!

This summer brought yet another interesting knitting experience. Knitting by Candlelight. The power went out one night when we were visiting Aunt Janice and Juli in PA. They were terrified cause the last time the power went out it was out for days and was torterous, I however thought it was an adventure and a fun one at that. Me and Juli were concentrating on our knitting so hard that a little loss of power could not stop us. We got a whole bunch of candles, lit them, and bgean to knit again. It was a little difficult so we decided to go to the nearest Barnes and Noble and knit in the air conditioned cafe until the power came back on! It was a fun filled day!

Socks Are Amazing

I finished my scarf almost a week ago and I decided not to make the Manos blanket since I already made a blanket this winter. I was looking online for a pattern and found this amazing sock pattern that I just fell in love with on knitty.com. I had this sock yarn from a while ago with bright oranges, pinks, and yellows. So I decided to make, yet again, another pair of socks. But this one is unlike any pair I have made before. I am almost done with the top part of the first sock and am about to start the heel.
