Do you think "Getting Started Knitting Socks" is a good one for a beginner? I was planning on taking some needlepoint to the beach in a couple of weeks, but maybe I'll finally try my hand at socks.

Becoming more familiar with that machine is on my list for the spring and summer----along with a long list of other burning desires! I love that cluster on the Gossamer Blue layout. I'm catching up with blogs now that I'm home, and doing them in the order they were written so perhaps I'll see the finished layout in a bit.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510788797735066383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-47891370796107281672016-04-18T22:03:46.859+01:002016-04-18T22:03:46.859+01:00I do have a silhouette but confess that I often fi...I do have a silhouette but confess that I often find it quicker to print and trim by hand then work out how to make the machine do what I want it to do.

Oh my goodness, I've only just learned to juggle 64! <br />We were talking today at work about how important it is to keep learning new things as you get a little older and how it helps keep the brain growing. The article you linked to about therapeutic knitting was very interesting, and I have now found a new blog to follow!debs14https://www.blogger.com/profile/14521565769251816528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-82098702574953820562016-04-15T09:19:22.738+01:002016-04-15T09:19:22.738+01:00Great labels!

Which is why I admire you so much - your creativity just brims over. Jumpers on circular needles sound very comfy to wear (few seams), but will they not be very heavy to knit?

I will go & read up on 21 original definitions of creativity, I need some encouragement & inspiration. Oh yes, do you not think Thursdays are such a special days, so rich with all the built up possibilities of Monday to Wednesday that did not happen? I like a good open Thursday. For me I am just unpacking some shopping which included 2 packages of large black letter stickers, on sale! - oh the possibilities to fulfill the required page title :)Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-78317687356852703392016-04-14T15:13:07.665+01:002016-04-14T15:13:07.665+01:00Round about the time you decide to start knitting ...Round about the time you decide to start knitting jumpers is sutely a great time to be thankful for being small!!
