You'll have to let me know how that washcloth goes, I've been wanting to try them, but am a little intimidated by the pattern....I am, however, trying LACE now! I couldn't stop at an airy scarf, either....I fell in love with a feather and fan scarf at my favorite yarn shop (didn't have a need for the yarn I fell in love with, until, um, it was the exact yarn in the scarf I fell in Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1143616903356820162006-03-29T02:21:00.000-05:002006-03-29T02:21:00.000-05:00Hi from Austria!

Oh, isn't it great when that time of year arrives when we can hang our laundry outside again to dry?<BR/>That sock turned out so lovely - I do have my problems as well with short row heels - guess it's just a matter of doing it over and over again until it "clicks"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1143606043667203912006-03-28T23:20:00.000-05:002006-03-28T23:20:00.000-05:00My ruler is Mercury too (I'm a Virgo)!

I know that some are just meant for socks. Ah, yes, another question from me. This time knitting related and not blog related! I have to go now. My kids are arguing in the kitchen over their french fries....

But once you get the gist of it, it's so easy! Your sock looks so cute hanging there on the line! I miss hanging clothes on a clothesline. I liked it when we had both a clothesline and a dryer; I could have two loads drying at a time on laundry day! With the weather as inclement as it's been lately, though, a dryer seems to Jilliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527400827396831837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1143570162075894352006-03-28T13:22:00.000-05:002006-03-28T13:22:00.000-05:00Oh, the smell of hung laundry is so fresh!

In fact I've left socks in progress for a long time when I get to the heel.

And wow, that was a fast sock... perhaps it's the sport weight yarn? And as for short row heels, I find that if I knit the turning stitch a bit snugly, the heel looks a bit better.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879666390840492082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1143553638972575622006-03-28T08:47:00.000-05:002006-03-28T08:47:00.000-05:00*LOL* I so very much enjoyed your post today!

That would explain a lot about the DH's recent funk! My mom and DH, two of the most important people in my life, are both Geminis- pure insanity for this crazy Virgo, LOL!
