First time blogger

I'm obsessed about knitting. At the moment I'm churning out socks like it's nobodies business.

Hi, my name is Terrol. I live in North Bay, Ontario and it's Spring, what more can anybody ask for. And by the way the sun is shining.

If you had told me that I would be spending hours on the internet perusing blogs I would have told you, you were crazy. How I found the Yarn Harlot I do not know but she's changed my life and many others I'm sure. I'm 52 (almost) and see my life going in a different direction. Martin and I run Torbay Cottages and we'd like to sell and Martin retire and I to design patterns and have a yarn store on line. Probably mostly sock yarn. Did I say I was obsessed about knitting socks:)

I've designed my first sock. It won't get any gasps, "wow" but it tickled me. And here's a picture.

Look up for picture:), having troubles putting them where I want them.

I bought the yarn at Yarn Forward in Ottawa. It is Lang Jawoll Cotton superwash. Basically there are 3 lines of fake cables up the front "K2, *replace stitches to left needle, K2 tog TBL, K1, repeat from *. If I have a choice I use 2 circulars and knit toe up. These were knit on 2 circulars and done toe up.

My other obsession is walking with my dog Sadie.

As I'm having some troubles putting pictures where I want them I'll leave that delight for another time. I walk with the previous owner of Torbay, Steve Landsberg and his dog Brandy.

More about knitting on my next post.

Toodles.
