Blah blah

I started a pair of rainbow spiral socks for kids. "Spiraling tube socks" is the name. They look weird because they don't have a heel, but are designed that way on purpose so they can fit kids as they grow up. They are out of the rainbow fingering that I showed on my previous post. Lately I have been trying to use up yarn and only buying new yarn for a few specific projects. I have a bin of yarn at my parents that consists of very small balls, all different colors and fibers. Occasionally I find something to make with them. In some ways it is nice to have a smallish stash, but I also wish my yarn was more usable. A lot of things I don't remember if it is washable or not, and sometimes I do burn tests to try to confirm the fiber. Perhaps toys would be a good option. Someday maybe I can carefully choose projects and buy nice yarn for them. I do want to make a sweater for myself someday. I almost wonder if a kit would be helpful, or at least a knit a long. I recently looked at the website Kitterly and I think it might be a good idea. There is generally such a $ investment (and of course time!!!) it feels a little overwhelming to think about sweaters. Perhaps also because I have made 2 in the past that are weird and I don't wear them really.

Please forgive the bad iPad photo and no links.
