I'm trying to find time to fit it in as all my original pairs are looking a bit sad from old age and Higgins! I've never tried square needles, they look beautiful in that dark wood. Looking forward to seeing the finished socks!

I hate the darn things and use two short circulars instead, whenever I can, if I'm knitting something small in-the-round. So woohoo, way to go you!!<br />Square knitting needles I've never tried, but I imagine they might be easier to hold? Can I ask where they were bought?<br />I'm facing my own nemesis here ... I'm finally getting to grips with crochet! Wish me luck, pleeeease!<br />My mouth is watering at the thought of those butter biscuits, any left? ;DAnnie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-10313964144831760812012-01-03T23:56:50.359+00:002012-01-03T23:56:50.359+00:00Sounds very similar to our day here.

When I went to lock up the hens I couldn't get in as our old apple tree had fallen across the door - poor hens are safe for now and there's an interesting job for tommorow.<br /><br />I loved the wee deer by the way.<br /><br />From a sock knitter of one sock experience I have a tip I read on the web and is really good. I find the getting going bit between the first and next needle really hard to keep the tension tight. Tip was to cast on on two needles and knit a row, then share out between the three needles. Made it all a lot more tidier. Have fun and look forward to seeing those socks.<br /><br />Happy New year too by the way.<br />Lisa XBobo Bunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564557200579080645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-42530699031197263652012-01-03T21:21:25.595+00:002012-01-03T21:21:25.595+00:00Horray!

I have yet to wear them as they seem to precious, mistakes and all. :) ~Kelly<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deniablydomestic.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">unDeniably Domestic</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-32986226370470093752012-01-03T12:40:28.135+00:002012-01-03T12:40:28.135+00:00Aww sounds like you are having a very calm and cos...Aww sounds like you are having a very calm and cosy day at home. My Boo's very reluctantly went back to school this morning, it was very wet and windy here too!<br /><br />I love the colour of your bedroom walls. As I have grown older really love a more netural backdrop to all my clutter!<br /><br />Well done on the sock knitting. Afraid I am only a basics when it comes to knitting so it all seems terribly clever knitting with DPN's!<br /><br /><br /><br />MBB xThedarkerside73https://www.blogger.com/profile/17474364639142170652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-43256037555176708402012-01-03T12:17:11.000+00:002012-01-03T12:17:11.000+00:00DPNs are the bain of my life!
