08.29.2003 :: You Rock, Sheep!
Here's some sheepy goodness. But I ask of you. NOW WHAT??? Of course, this is all I have of the birthday spinning stuff, so I have no clue, YET! I can't wait to start fiddling! I wanted to get some plain sheepy colored wool to fool with and then some yummy dyed stuff to get serious with. As you can see, that plan went awry. Where I ordered this, all the natural color wool was out. And not being the patient type, she talked me into this. We'll see.
Here's a picture of the baby socks that I made to go along with the chocolate baby sweater!
In other knitting news in the Sandysknitting world, I fixed the Missouri Denmark socks. you may or not remember that they had a dropped stitch. The stitch is secure and the world is none the wiser. I wore them already. They are just what cold, tired feet need at the end of a hard day!
August is rushing right by me. My head is a blur. September fast approaches and I'm not even used to saying "August" yet. Geez, Mother Nature, don't be in such a rush!
I leave you with these cuties. Because I'm in a sheepish mood.

I do my increases 1 or 2 sts in from the edge. If I am doing sleeves circularly I do it 1 stitch from center. if I am doing it flat I go in 2 sts, makes it easier to seam later. So after knitting 2 sts pick up that bar between the st on needle and the next one, make sure the "leg" of the bar is looped with the left leg over the needle. Then put the working needle tip into that left leg from the left side and into the back(it's really tricky). Then knit the stitch. At the end of the row pick up the bar 2 sts from the end with the right leg forward and knit into the back of the stitch. Make any sense at all?Chris [chrisknitz@insightbb.com]
