Well Ellen, I do know what you mean, I have been knitting socks for a little over a year and I am absolutely addicted. I can't make them fast enough, I love the yarns and that I can indulge on some beautiful hand dyed without spending a fortune. I have made over 30 pairs of socks this year, given some as gifts to friends and co- workers. I think I could do kitchner in my sleep. Yesterday, I finished a new sock pattern--mock croc socks-- free from knitpicks website. If I can I will post a picture. To all my fellow sock junkies---This is a healthy relaxing addiction especially when I am buried under 4 feet of snow!!!!!!

So it took me a lot longer than I thought it would (I had 4 different projects on other needles) but I FINALLY finished the to-be-felted slippers for my whole family. I had to make a pair for myself, of course as I didn't want to feel left out ;) This was my big Christmas present to each member of my family. They are knit on size 11's, and they are big enough to wear as hats. Seriously my kids have all done it. I can't wait to take the before pictures (all of our feet together) and then felt them for the after pictures. My husbands ended up being 21" long. I know he has big feet, but oi! I just hope I figured out the measurements correctly.

Right now I'm knitting socks in the Nutkin pattern from Knitzi with Happy Feet sock yarn. I love it!

I love DPNs. I must be a glutten for punishment because the first item I EVER knitted was a pair of socks on DPNs. Didn't knit a scarf until about a year later. Found it to be boring! Anyway...to save your knitting from coming off the needles in transit, they have these tubes that fit over your needles. I travel a LOT foir my job,
so had to come up with a method that works really well.

Hiya Misti,

When I first started using DPNs it was like playing thumb war with a hyperactive spider! Once there was a few rounds on the needles said spider calmed down.

I have a set of interchangeable knitting needles but the cables are way to stiff to try the ML. I think I'll stick with what I know and what I'm comfortable with. yea I know, sissy that I am! LOL
