Day One..

After reading all of the knitting blogs, I decided to start my own. Why not? Maybe because I have a law office and should therefore spend my time billing clients so that I can buy more yarn?? Perhaps. But who cares? It's knitting, I should be able to fit it into my day.

Today I decided to venture into a new world of fiber arts...spindles. I went to Knitters Connection earlier this month and was intrigued by this decorative little things. So today I purchased my first spindle and roving. Thanks to Shannon at http://twinsanity.blogspot.com/ a new flower spindle is heading my way and I cannot wait.

Since this is a blog about knitting so I'll share some of my work in progress...

The beginning of a monkey sock. The yarn is from Love Yarn and I have no idea what the colorway is. I am a bit nervous about whether or not I will have enough for the 2nd sock. I am doing the heel and toe in the blue so that should save some of my precious yarn.

I must admit that this sock is changing my attitude about socks. Before I liked very plain, simple socks. What is wrong with me? This one is SOOO much cooler than some normal boring old blue sock. I may never again knit a boring sock. Onward.

I am counting down the days until the weekend. Though tonight I must refrain from working on my non-boring sock and clean my house. I have been avoiding cleaning for quite some time and it shows. This weekend a friend is coming for a visit. Our visit will consist of fishing at the lake and drinking. Probably more of the latter.

Until tomorrow!
