I may have finally found the solution to 'second' sock syndrome ...
My friend Jen, better known as the Yarnivore, and I are doing a little echo knitting together. Each of us is going to knit one fuzzy foot using this
The pattern calls for aran weight yarn, but I loved the colours of this chunky print so much that I'm going to adjust the pattern, so that (1) we can use this yarn and (2) we knit less stitches.
This is a little therapy project. What's echo knitting? We both do the exactly the same number of stitches every day, so that while we may live in different parts of the country, we are echoing each other. It's wonderful to have friends that share your interests and even better when you can work together for a common goal. The goal is ...ah .....warm feet. (Mwah, to you Jen).

Did I mention that the first foot is complete? Well it is, all I need to do is sew down the cast on tail. One down, one to go...
Now, back to my demons ... I mean daisies.

Posted by: janet at October 27, 2003 10:34 PMI think what you are doing with Jen is wonderful! I wish I had had a friend like you around when I was going through my "dark" time. But now that I am strong, I can do this with others who are struggling. What an inspiration!

Posted by: kerrie at October 24, 2003 02:03 PMPretty yarn! I'm interested to see how it looks knitted up into fuzzy feet.
Posted by: Becky at October 24, 2003 07:56 AMKerrie - Trim? I think I had better re-read the pattern, because I must have missed the part about trim.
Emma - **shucks** , that's sweet. The kind of words that makes all my hats too small!
