I did it. I joined the Ravellenic going on during the olympics...we used to call it something else but the olympic committee got bent out of shape, cause knitter are not athletes. But I digress. So I said I would make a pair of socks in the time the olympics ran in Rio. From the 5th of August to the 21 of August. I am normally pretty good on a deadline. This time it was close. I got done after a couple of days flat on my back with "my back is killing me". But I did it. I knit my fingers to the bone.

So this is happening

In a few more days I complete my 70th trip around the sun. I would like to say I have sage advice for people who are in the mist of their trips, but I really don't. Have fun! Dance naked! Eat Cake. okay a little sage advice.

Socks

I love knitting socks. I know I say it all the time, but socks just make me happy. I found Fleegles' Blog and her toe up socks, then the Fleegle Heel, then how to do the Fleegle Heel top down. This sock just fits. And I can remember how to do it without carrying around pages of how to. And now I have found a new pattern that I love. It is called the Tootsie Roll sock by Lisa K. Ross. It is fun and easy!

begin again

Remember the songs we sang as children that were sand in rounds. I seem to blog like that. Time to time I have to begin again. I am learning to spin. I got a Babe Pinkie, cause it is small, I am short and a small wheel appealed to me. It was originally made for children, and I also thought if a child can use it, there is a chance I can figure it out. I know there is a large flaw in my thinking, my children are way smarter than I am, and their children are smarter still. But going with flawed logic is something I am well know to do. I am starting small. learning the muscle memory that my foot and leg needs to learn, by sitting at the wheel and just using the pedal. I like the meditative movement, I can see me doing this. She needs a name, my little girl. Any ideas?
