Socks for His Nibs is on Ravelry

Yeahhhhh  I finally figured out how to put Socks for His Nibs on Ravelry as a free download. Sandy sits at the help desk all the time except when she eats and sleeps.  My goodness there are sure a lot of dedicated people on Ravelry. 

Recycled Silk

Years ago on Ebay I bought some recycled silk made from remnants of Saris.  I tried knitting a few things with it but because it is so rustic, thick and thin it was very difficult to get gauge.  Now that the Weaving bug has bitten me on Monday I'm going to set up a loom at the weaving studio to make a bedspread for a single bed.  It will work up fairly quickly as it is so thick.  I would say it's a bulky weight. 
Not much to tell on the knitting front as I wait for Ravelry to connect "Socks for His Nibs".  Can't seem to start anything else at the moment. 
I got a new laptop which has a webcam on it.  I thought I'd have to read a manual to figure out how to use it but it's easy to use and had some fun with it last night. 

This is a picture of the baby Socks for His Nibs.  Blogger has sure made some improvements to their software.  It's much easier to insert pictures than it used to be. 

Nearly there

Socks for His Nibs has been edited so many times I've lost count.  I think I've figured out how to upload it on Ravelry and now we wait till it's finalized.  It's been quite the journey from idea to completion.  My friend Wendy and my new friend Sharon test knit for me.  They had so many suggestions and corrected so many of my mistakes I hate to think what it would have looked like without them.  I made 3 1/2 pairs of socks and 3 baby socks out of the pattern that I couldn't see the forest through the trees.  My friend Karen of Wynterblue Publishing did the final edit and made the file look presentable.  I might have posted the pattern sooner but I could not take a decent picture to save my soul.  Stephanie of Aloeroot Web Services helped me with getting the Word Document into a PDF File.  I've got my next pattern charted up and waiting for me to start.  I think this one will be a bit easier.  It's not a difficult pattern, it's toe up and the gusset is lovely.  Yarnissima (Marjan Hammink) is the designer who first came up with the unusual gusset.  I'd better go and check out what's happening on Ravelry:)))
