lately knitting has been on my mind, night and day. dreaming about knitting, trying to decide what to attempt next, wishing i could finish my first pair of socks and get on with something else... at long last my first pair of socks is done (well, all but weaving in the tails on sock#2). but by now i don't even want to look at them, much less wear them. the colors seem garish to me, and i liked them at first. i figured at least the yarn was inexpensive, so it was a good choice in case of major problems. oh well, i see the flaws, but the accomplishment of being done feels good to me and thus i feel encouraged to try another pair.
recently i took a class on felted clogs (child size) and got almost done with slipper #1. the only real problem is that there is a lot of counting involved in this pattern, so i always hesitate to do any more until it appears i will have some uninterrupted time! so, this is taking a lot longer than it should. i'm excited to try my first felting of a project, though, because i have chosen another that i would like to try next...
been spending more time on Ravelry than i like to admit, but at least i feel like i'm learning how to use the website, getting organized, and being inspired. also making contacts with some people far away doing things i admire. it is wonderful that such an online community exists!

congrats on getting your blog going!!!yeehaa! i think the socks are fun! but i know what you mean-so many times when i'm finally done with a project i'm real sick of it and don't even want to wear it-ha! these things become gifts and are then appreciated.(i hope!)
my counting projects have to be done at nite when all are asleep-even roy will mess up my counting-ha!
i hear you about the ravelry thing-i have to control the urge to be on that site for way too long! when i first heard about people being "on" ravelry and how addicting it was -i seriously thought it was a new drug.-ha! not too far off though-way addicting!!!!!!
