Traveling Sock




I belong to a social network called Ravelry. It is a place for knitters and crocheters to meet and discuss what they are creating, ask questions, provide help to beginners, or just have conversations.

In one of my groups (the Knitters Brewing Company forum) we are doing a Traveling Sock round robin. This consists of 8 members who knit a bit on each others socks. We start out by knitting our own toes (the socks are knit toe up instead of cuff down,) send them off to the next person on the list who adds two inches in a pattern and color of their choice. That person then sends her finished work off to the next person and so on. By the time all 8 people knit on the socks they are returned to the owner finished.

I can't wait to see my finished socks when they are returned to me.

Here are the first two I've added on to:

My new toy.



If you haven't heard from me in the past few days, it's because I've been busy with my new computer. Never realized how difficult it was to change from a PC to a iMac. I thought I was so computer literate, but this brought me my comeuppance!

I've got most things figured out, but my printer will only work with a USB cord and not wireless. Still have to work on that, but overall things are starting to go more smoothly.

Well, iMac has proven me wrong again. I can't figure how to upload a photo from the iPhoto library to my blog. Anyone out there have a Mac and a blog? Maybe you can help me.

I somehow uploaded via Flickr but I'm not sure how!

Hopefully, I'll shortly be back reading blogs again.
