Dedicated to Joanne L.


Socks - The best project for travelling. I met Joanne, a friend of my aunt's back on July 4th. I was at my Aunt Mary's, and my Aunt Donna came over a brought one of her dearest friends, Joanne L. from Maine who was visiting for the weekend. Well, I was sitting with the fam. out back by the pool, and of course I had several projects with me when I was introduced to Joanne a long time knitter. She had brought with her a pair of socks talking them up as great projects for travelling. My projects don't always tend to be tiny unless they are hats. I have recently taken a sock class, and gotten some wonderful sock yarn since from Cherry Tree Hill. I just got the current issue of Interweave Knits, and inside was Roza's Socks by Grumperina, and was completely inspired to pick up the needles and cast on for them. I am looking forward to the outcome.


Here is the beginning of the ribbing....

Is this your first time with socks? I'm sure you'll become hooked. I discovered sock knitting late last year, having never knit any before that. Now I'm wondering what took me so long to try, possibly the thought of knitting with 5 needles, yet now it just seems so normal.

Absolutely the best for traveling, for the long line at the post office, for, well, for anything. Welcome to the sock-knitting world!
