Now Playing: I have been knitting these socks since Dec 29th
I have been knitting these 2 needle socks since December 29th. It seems like they took forever. I used a size 2 needle. This is the first time that I have ever used a size 2 needle, and it is the first time that I have ever done a three needle cast off. I like the 3 needle cast off better then the kitchener st. The is also the first time that I have ever knit a pair of 2 needle socks. I think that I prefer the socks knit with double pointed needles. To many seams to sew with the 2 needle pattern. I used some yarn that I bought last summer while I was on vacation in the Black Hills, in Spearfish, South Dakota. The yarn is sock yarn called Reynolds swizzle. It is 75% Merino superwash, 25% Nylon. The pattern came from http://www.lindascraftique.com/free/tnsocks.htm

I have finally did it. I have knit a sweater. I have been knitting for about 2 years when I first started knitting, I wanted to learn to knit socks. I did learn to knit socks, and I love hand knit socks. Then I wanted to learn to knit a sweater, I am knitted many things before I achieved that goal. I have been searching for an easy pattern for about a year. I finally found one that I thought that I could knit with out to much trouble, and got busy. The pattern can be found at http://www.dailyknitter.com/kelly.html I did not use the recommended yarn because it has 20% wool in it , and I can not wear wool. To itchy for me. I chose Red Heart Bright and Lofty, the color Beach. Now I am knitting a matching sweater for my dog Elvis we should make a very handsome pair!
