Long Time No Post

Wow it has been a long time since I updated my blog, I really was feeling the need to update it again. I have been busy with my son, who is now 17 months and quite a handful, but recently he has allowed me to knit again!

I have started playing around with a few new techniques, like toe up socks and magic loop knitting. Monday, I was at stick café (knitting café) and someone had a crocheted cellphone holder/amulet bag, I was thinking it was a perfect project to explain magic cast-on for toe-up socks. Also it would be perfect for testing lace patterns and to use some smaller bits of handspun yarn. I think I will use some handspun silk that I spun on my silk spindle. I have made an amulet bag with that yarn before, so I think it will be nice.

Yesterday I finished my first pair of toe-up socks for Biscuit. They turned out really great and I plan on making more things with this technique for sure. I forgot to take pictures of them but I will try to post something next time I bring them home from his daycare.
