uno

well,

here it finally is, my first blog, accumulated from enough different reasons to finally start one. In no particular order I imagine the main topics will consist of
1) documenting my trials in knitting from beginner and beyond
2) the trials of a new (and beyond) career in speech language pathology ( I is all grown up now?)
3) adventures of bijou (the french bulldog) and aziza, aka killerzizi (the tortiseshell cat)
4) some SLR photog/ art interest.

I'll begin post number one with KNITTING.
I have plunged into the pool in May, something fierce.
I have dumped money into needles, thread (addicting btw), and managed to complete with minimal pain, about half a dozen items beyond the token scarf.
Now I am trying socks.
shortrowtoeandheelmagiclooptwoatatime (breath out) , socks.
after all, why not start with the method I want to continue forward with?

now, can you imagine, there is no youtube or book tutorial that has alll of these on my wishlist? I have been trying to piece together the instructions .... one about provisional cast on (check)
one about magic loop (but with a different toe and caston)
how is it going?
aaaarrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
not well.
