"Death By Socks"

                                                                "Death By Socks"

I think that I shall never see a finished knitted pair of socks by me
For I have given it a try and my oh my oh my
The socks I knit have given me a fit 
Although I am in this fit 
I refuse to quit!

So on and on and on I do Knit this pair of socks that will knot fit
For the life of me I can not quit my oh my oh my
The socks I can't not quit and that will not fit
Will some day I'm sure
                                                              be the very life of me!

Knitting, Blogging and Stockinette Zombies...

It's Sunday, Sept. 8, 2013 sitting here trying my best to finish (finally) a Potato Chip Scarf I started making about a year ago. It's not really hard. It is done in stockinette with short rows. I picked it up today and learned that I have forgotten how to do it lol. Figures with my mind! So I went onto YouTube and watched VeryPink Knits video on how to knit this scarf. Stacy is awesome and a wonderful teacher. Of course I'm always watching Podcast at the same time. Today its Stockinette Zombies podcast day for me. Usually I tend to watch Knit Grillls podcast while I do Thread Arts but I found SZ's last night and I'm really enjoying them. But I highly recommend both podcast. It's like being in a group of friends while doing something we all love but it's also very helpful and insightful to me since I don't know many people who do Thread/Needle Arts.
