My first pair of socks, I am sad to say, have died. After knitting a majority of the foot, I realized they were too big for my feet. Shortly after frogging 4 inches of my lovely socks, I tried to restart. I went down a needle size and casted on less stitches, but became very frustrated with the cast on process. I tried 3 times before violently throwing them into my knitting bag with no progress to show, which I might add was very frustrating.
Because of my failed attempted at restarting my socks, I have been working on my blanket. I have the first row and two squares on my second row finished. I have already fallen in love with this blanket and cannot wait until it is finished. One of the squares on the other hand is 15 inches when the squares are 12 x 12. I will end this paragraph with a loud, angry, "GRRR!"
Tomorrow is off to the wool festival with my mom. I am so excited to go because this year I will be able to pick out roving for my to begin spinning. I start a beginner spinning class in Boulder on July 17. I am stoked! My mom has shown me the very basics of spinning but I am no where near as good as I want myself to be. Any who, I am sure tomorrow will be stellar.
