I really like my first pair of sock!!!! It came out really GREAT! I dyed this yarn for my dyeing class coming up in Feb at Hissy knit... It will be on 10th!! If your in CA, Sign Up!!!

Everybody think that knitting sock is really hard and difficult. NO IT IS NOT!!!! Just know how to use two point needle togther and follow the directions.

Saturday STILL LIFE ~~


It's Saterday!!!! I took this pic...The pic is taken from at my dask.. full of yarn and working from Happy hooker SnB book "ONE-SKINE" Scarf. Looks the pic on the right, it's Lorna's Lace "Shepherd Sport" in Watercolor.

oh ya... Pink Yarn..I dont like a pink that much, but pic is really cool! Talking about the pink, I find out pink means "good Health"(Think the pig:Good luck) and "
hallucinations during intoxication"

Also fact about Pink:
  • In 1947, fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli introduced the color hot pink into western fashion. She dubbed the shade "Shocking Pink", though today the color is more associated as "magenta".
  • Since the color pink is said to have a tranquilizing effect, sport's teams sometime paint the locker room, to be used by their opposing teams, pink.
  • Some studies of the color pink suggest that male weightlifters seem to lose strength in pink rooms, while women weightlifters tend to become stronger around the color.
  • Pastries taste better when they come out of pink boxes or served on pink plates (it only works with sweets). Pink makes us crave sugar.
P.S. I will post my first knitted pair of sock Monday..See Ya
