I see several of you like to knit socks, I've never tried because I'd heard they were so hard. Have they come up with an 'easy' way, now!! What are slip stitch socks? Continue

When I EVER get back there I may let you know.....met a net friend there, knew her over the web 9 yrs ago and it was so fun to meet her in person!!!! Texans are wonderful:-)
Nice to meet you here!

Comment by Suzanne Atkinson on April 5, 2010 at 8:35am: I'm in San Antonio now, but lived for 19 years in El Paso.

Comment by Ellen Griffin on April 5, 2010 at 8:20am: West Texas??? Like what part......:-)? spent some time in the western part.

Comment by Sara on April 5, 2010 at 6:27am: Hello from west Texas. Knitting isn't my first love, but I'm re-learning to like it :) I'm currently making tons of wash cloths and bibs (for sale, and for 2 new-to-be grandbabies).

Comment by Margie B on March 9, 2010 at 9:44am: Hi there Ellen

Welcome to the Group. I must agree with you, Socks are my passion! I've tried sweater making but that takes way to much math for me. Besides, socks take so little yarn and are portable too. :)

I need to post some pix of recent works... I've learned slipped stitch socks and those are way fun.

Comment by Ellen Griffin on March 9, 2010 at 9:33am: Just stopping by, sort of new to this forum......Livingston Texas is my home area:-)
I have knitted since I was 16, I am now a grandmother and that means YEARS of knitting:-) I prefer doing socks, and wash cloths but really socks are my passion.
nice to meet all of you:-)

Comment by Marsha on February 14, 2010 at 10:17am: hi, I'm from West Texas, I'm thrilled to see so many young people in this group. I learned to knit MANY years ago. Most of my things have been smaller items, but I tried a few larger ones. I'm pretty busy, so smaller projects are more likely to get finished! If you know what I mean! And while my knitting machines are stored right now, I did enjoy using them! Maybe when I retire, I'll have more time :-)) But who knows when that will be!

Comment by Athena Delapena on February 14, 2010 at 6:44am: I'm in Plano (suburb of Dallas) and am a novice knitter. I use it as therapy more than anything else. Scarfs and hats keep me busy. One of these days I will try something harder. Maybe one of you will inspire me.
