No Socks on Saturday or Sunday....

No sock news to report...  Well, kinda sorta.  Saturday when I started to turn the toe of the sock I was working on I dropped a loop off the loom.  While trying to fix that one the next loop came off, then the next and so on and so forth!  So I ended up unraveling the whole thing!!!  Now to start over :-(

But, I finished my dishcloth that I was knitting with sticks....


I didn't follow a pattern...  just went for it.  Lot's of mistakes and who knows what happeneds but it done and cleans dirty dishes just fine!

Knitting with stick part 2 has been started....


This time I'm using a pattern....  so far so good!

Socks on Saturday...

I finished my 4th pair of socks....  love the color, but my toes still don't match!  Neither do the stripes...


Everyone keeps telling me that knitting with sticks (um needles) is easy...  hahahahaha  This is my first attemped.  

That first attempt is about 3" x 4"....  and some how it got bigger at the end.  
I decided if I was going to learn I should make something useful, so I started a dishcloth.  There are a ton of mistakes and I lost the pattern for a row or two, but I'm not ripping it out!  It's a dishcloth for cyring out loud!!


At least the colors are pretty....  and my sticks are purple!
