Summer Knitting

I am currently feeling a strong urge to do some knitting.

This might be more than a little influenced by the fact that I recently won a marvelous Giveaway by the sweet and generous Gerry.

Interestingly, when our family did our little time capsule this year, I had to write down something I wanted to accomplish in the coming year. I took a deep breath, threw my head back and boldly wrote, "I want to knit a pair of socks!"

I thought this audacious declaration would be the end of it. But here comes Gerry offering a knitting book and the sock yarn to go with it in her Giveaway. ::swoon::

I entered, and the rest is history. The package arrived---glorious book; soft, fun yarn; and even some stitch markers thrown in for sweetness sake.

And now it's all up to me.

Summer is almost here. And I'm feeling a strong urge to do some knitting!

  1. Shelley,
    How luscious would a pair of knit socks be?! I wish I could remember who & the post from way back, when several pairs of knit socks were featured. They were so awesome. After you finish your first pair, you could do a second pair using that yummy yarn from the grocery/errand bag you crocheted...'member?! xo Sassy Sue

  2. For the next three months, I have an advantage over you, I would need just one, and would be done in half the time! It would be fun to see all your projects some day. Sock it to it!
