Singingtoes... happy feet, warmed by hand and wool....and a voice that loves to sing. Rare is the moment when there is no song in my head or my heart. Is it your turn to sing?

Spring?

I think that spring is finally here. Warmer temps, lots of sunlight and very active singing birds. I love the spring and enjoy watching the earth seemingly come back to life.

I've finally finished the first sock in the sock knitting competition. Needless to say I didn't make it into round 1 and from what I've read they're already completed the 2nd pattern. I'm not necessarily a slow knitter but after 4 or 5 false starts I finally decided that I would alter the pattern enough to make a wearable sock for me. by the time I came to that decision I had lost, hopelessly. The sock is very pretty and one I will definitely wear.

My hand knit socks are wearing out so it's time I knit some for me again. The last 3 pair I completed I've given as gifts...so the next gift is mine. There comes a time in a sock's life when darning is just no longer practical. On the other hand, the holey socks are my favorites.

Off to cast on the next sock. Won't have this sitting around as a single.....

Til again
