"Very Lovely!"

"I have seen needle felter's at Joann Fabrics/Crafts."

"DeeAnna - I dont use the regular flap type heel on my ML toe-up sock knitting. I use a conventional 'short-row heel' and it is very easy to do (I do each heel separately then continue on knitting in the round on both socks at once). I know…"

"Bridget, you can get Hiya Hiya circs w/very flexible cables in up to 60 - 72" sizes if you prefer. Your LYS may carry them. Also, Knitpicks (go to knitpicks.com) carry up to 47" fixed circular cable (also, very flexible).  I use both…"

"Happy birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day and found some time to knit!"

"Gracias."

"Wow! just beautiful work! Congratulations and thanx for sharing."

"Knitting from toe up is the way to go if you do not like doing the Kitchner stitch. I use the 60" HiyaHiya circular needles. They are perfect for knitting 2 socks at the same time so that they are both done and no SSS (second sock syndrome)."

"Hi All! No one has posted in a long time here. Right now I'm still working on the crib size afghan for my grandson in a 'honeycomb' pattern I found on Ravlry. When it is done I will get pics to share w/you all."
