Ruby Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi Everyone! I found a new love, sock kniting! Anyone else doing this? It is so relaxing. Right up there with making soap,lol. Ruby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I haven't ventured into socks yet (can only go in straight lines for now) but would love to see pictures of yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I made 3/4 of a sock but lost my pattern and then gave up alltogether. Maybe someday I will do it again. How do you knit yours? Two at a time? Circulars?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi again. I am knitting on double pointed needles now, but my next ones I will try the circulars. I have knitted off and on for years, but never have I used the luxury yarns. I will post pix when I get them done. I have 2 pairs going now.I am also trying felting. I made a couple of small purses, and felted them. Too cool!Have you tried felting? Nice new hobby. Thanks for your replies. Ruby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Oh yes, I have been felting purses for almost 3 years now, I love to felt. Have you heard of Noni Bags? I love her patterns and they are simple enough to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airforcewife Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I love to knit socks they are a great project to take with you when you are on the go. I also like to knit and felt handbags too. I just like knitting all together it relaxed and calm which I need a lot of lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doris Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I love knitting, although socks are not my favourite thing to knit. I usually have a pair on the needles, though. There are so many beautiful sock yarns out there that it would be a pity not to try at least a few of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi! Yes, a Nonni bag is next on my list. I just have to decide on the color. Please share pix!! Thanks for your replies. Ruby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloworm Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I just started a pair of socks on the knifty knitter on Sunday. I can't believe how fast they go on there although I think they are more like slippers but called socks. Got some really cute yarn at dollar tree and have been wanting to try the pattern. Whipped up one sock in an afternoon.Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruby Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi again. Lucky you to have the classes. I am making the one that you poke holes in it after felting and put an I- cord through it for handles. It is called the Booga Bag. Thanks for any ideas you might be able to share.

TexasBrat Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I made the Booga Bag using Kuryeon and should have double stranded b/c it's kinda flimsy but I love that pattern. Very easy.Suds, here are Noni bagshttp://nonipatterns.com/collections.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
