I have no doubt in my mind that you will pull off the socks in time for the end of the Olympics and your scarf is a great hand rester for you! Knit on and have fun :)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10816734246586566719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1140463799314531082006-02-20T14:29:00.000-05:002006-02-20T14:29:00.000-05:00Your socks are coming along wonderfully!

I've always been curious about using circs but I think I may be a die-hard with dpns. I dunno...what do you think? Is it worth trying?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07984623556608252389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1140399397060883632006-02-19T20:36:00.000-05:002006-02-19T20:36:00.000-05:00Ugh!

The first time I tried it, I hated it, too. But for some reason, I kept at it and now I like it.<BR/><BR/>Does that scarf by any chance have cables between the lacy parts?knittinmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083582930684730242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1140334294298772232006-02-19T02:31:00.000-05:002006-02-19T02:31:00.000-05:00Yay!!

I'm always searching Wal-mart for sales on my "love your gray" Loreal Excellence. ;-) As long as I can keep my grays down to less than 25% of my head, I feel like I'm sorta breaking even. ;-) Your scarf is beautiful! You know I'm loving the color.

It's nice to have projects going that exercise different knitting muscles. Cascade 220 is my favorite. (BTW, I'm in desperate need of highlights too.)Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03676228724944263850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1140319185409837662006-02-18T22:19:00.000-05:002006-02-18T22:19:00.000-05:00i LOVE THE SOCKS.

I'm glad to have that heads up from you about the two socks at a time business, because I'm not sure I'm ready for that, and I need a reason to feel happy about sticking to one sock at a time.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299984579211690345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1140298956603629942006-02-18T16:42:00.000-05:002006-02-18T16:42:00.000-05:00So nice to have a face to put with the name! :o)I...So nice to have a face to put with the name! :o)<BR/><BR/>I always cut my head off of photos, too.
