I too live in the south, so I don't wear hats here anymore, did when I was in Chicago...making a friend a beret that still lives there though...so I second this option....just be sure to pick a pattern that has directions for making allowances for having a floppier beret...that should work with your hair!

Best of luck with the socks and way to go you not letting it beat you, you can do it and become a great sock knitter. If you want to improve your knitting skills you could try knitted cloths and pot holders. This way you can vary the stitches your knitting and improve them without the hassle of a large project. I will do some more thinking as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03237973730193381512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823072828140599817.post-19653490102547213092012-09-09T19:38:55.751-05:002012-09-09T19:38:55.751-05:00Good luck with your socks!

I spent Labor Day weekend with my grandkids and son and dil in GA but came home with a virus that laid me low this whole past week. <br /><br />I love those grandbabies and gladly will take a virus if it means I get to spend time with them.<br /><br />I've missed reading your blog and I'm sorry for your sadness. I hope things have worked out or at the very least, are working out.<br /><br />Congrats to you on a FO! I'm floundering around trying to get some things done for a swap and being sick this past week has put me really far behind. But I'll get there. I just have to shake myself and tell me to get up and go! <br /><br />Isn't the cooler weather wonderful? I've opened the windows again and love feeling the cooler air. I even had to put an extra quilt on the bed last night. Wonderful sleeping.<br /><br />Take care my friend.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Sharon/GrammyGrammy Braxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15719293877336161714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823072828140599817.post-91736432162927490232012-09-09T17:32:18.306-05:002012-09-09T17:32:18.306-05:00I guess that's one of the great things about s...I guess that's one of the great things about socks ... I suspect my second sock is always more perfect than the first. Looks to me like it'll function beautifully as a bath mat, so why worry? <br /><br />I did a pullover a few months ago and even emailed the designer to ask why the pattern fo the slipped stitches kept ending up on the wrong side. Turns out I was doing the pattern stitch wrong. In my view the pattern instructions weren't very clear. Turns out half a dozen knitters had the same problem during the KAL.

Now if you could just get those darn socks done. Knitting is beyond me. Just couldn't figure it out. Glad to see you got lots of crochet projects lined up. I've yet to make a cowl but would like to. When you find that cross-stitch, I wanna see it. :) Thanks for your visit to my corner of the world and all your comments.

And for knitting projects, if you're moving up north I would suggest a cabled beret, there's some great easy projects on Ravelry for them, and they're loose enough that you can wear your hair up in them.Emma (GirlAnachronismE)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07354226176191037080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823072828140599817.post-67638846274813653712012-09-09T09:23:45.281-05:002012-09-09T09:23:45.281-05:00We all start somewhere, the important thing is tha...We all start somewhere, the important thing is that you did improve and can tackle your next project with more confidence. I'm curious though how you did the rectangle on the circulars. How big in your blanket? I'm doing a ghan now and think I bought the longest cable they had, as I tried it with my Denise's and had it nice and big and then they came apart as I was knitting. Didn't want to take the chance that would happen again so frogged and bought new needles.Sandyhttp://4ccccs.blogspot.com/2012/09/sneezing-stitching-sea-and-sand-on.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
