Calling all knitters!

[zina10]

I'm going to make my next pair of socks ribbed all the way down like yours are. So now we both have something to look forward to for our next projects!

(I'm also awaiting an order from Knitpicks for Felici sock yarn-- they are often out of it so I grab some when it's available)

I'm so bad...I also ordered some yarn on ebay. Much better price for quality yarn like Opal.

Now my mom is going to feel compelled to knit like a mad woman She and my brother are coming early this year, in April, then my sister and family are coming in July. I can only hope this years weather is better, last year was horrible.

But all this rain and blah weather is making me dig out my knitting stuff.

The reason I do ribbed all the way down is because I always turn the cuff over. Just like to wear them that way.

I thought about making something to wear around the neck for some warmth. Not a shawl or anything. I HATE bulky stuff around my neck, feels like wearing a big fluffy animal wrapped around the neck, chocking the life out of me, getting tangled with my hair, etc..

Something that is closer fitting and short, just enough to add some warmth on my neck, just a bit longer in front, and with a button closure. Zero bulk. Easy to wear with a hoodie or jacket out at the barn where I can't wear something big and floppy.

I find home made socks to be so warm, despite not being bulky and thick. I want something like that to protect my neck and throat A neck sock ???
