Socks are still a challenge because I haven't mastered a round needle method.<br />The color is what keeps me going on this--I REALLY want to wrap myself in that color.<br />So very wise to start small and even do a practice piece first. I am not that smart--which is why the brain workout is so badly needed.<br />Felting--my first few hats were Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-71939518198630288062011-01-31T17:55:01.329-05:002011-01-31T17:55:01.329-05:00I think this a great undertaking.

I can only knit and purl. But what I really like to do is knit something and then felt it.
