I have had the sock phobia (although that doesnt quite describe it) too. 2 things got me to try socks, 1) 30cm circular needles from Yarns galore, 2) 8ply sock pattern. The circulars were recommended by Nora (bless!) and she was right, they will change your life!Starting with an 8ply pattern was the suggestion of Nora and Rose Red (double bless). They knit up quickly AND make great bed socks!<BR/>Hope the party goes well, I LOVE green cakes!!!!Shazmina Bendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02394367994914136857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190449783638849093.post-44949499594866173072007-08-19T11:38:00.000+11:002007-08-19T11:38:00.000+11:00I always feel that bubbles will go with anything a...I always feel that bubbles will go with anything and I'm prepared to give them a go with dinosaur cake! I'm doing my order on wednesday for the Happy Clappy, and I will be trying to knit it at the same time as Juno, becuase I'm sure that Turtle walk will be off the needles<BR/>Relax and have fun for PJs birthday - get chips on the floor and fairy bread in your hair - and have the extra glass of bubbles you weren't going to!TinkingBellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424679933020998879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190449783638849093.post-91499615081146237332007-08-18T13:22:00.000+11:002007-08-18T13:22:00.000+11:00eek - I've had week a bit like that too - bring on...eek - I've had week a bit like that too - bring on some less gloomy weather, I say!!!!<BR/>Are you still keen to give Kirri a red hot go??<BR/>I'm aiming to get Dayflower off the needles tomorrow....Bronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933391926572023254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190449783638849093.post-8815738617478723092007-08-17T22:13:00.000+11:002007-08-17T22:13:00.000+11:00I'm sorry you're feeling down and stuck - this too...I'm sorry you're feeling down and stuck - this too will pass, even if it's a pain now.

Get yourself on a good track re being organised and enthused about things. Organisation is a great spirit lifter - once we get around to doing it. I'm convinced of that.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the family visits!<BR/><BR/>ps surely a good Rutherglen sticky would go with green dionsaur cake?Bellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961733332080072331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190449783638849093.post-66500635858304876542007-08-17T00:44:00.000+11:002007-08-17T00:44:00.000+11:00The winter doldrums are hard to shake, but I've fo...The winter doldrums are hard to shake, but I've found that a round or two of shameless retail therapy usually does the trick. And when even that fails, well some good, strong chocolate tends to help a lot. There's nothing wrong with working up to making socks. They're daunting at first, until you get the hang of all the needles. After your first few rows, though, you wonder what you were worried about. It's just knitting regularly, but on really slim needles. As for wine with a green dinosaur cake, look for something green and fruity and fun. Here in the states the liquor stores carry a brand called Boone's Farm that comes in all kinds of flavors and colors, maybe the ones in Oz carry something similar? The best part is that it's not too expensive and hardly alcoholic, so you can enjoy a few glasses without worrying about getting completely sloshed on the stuff. Happy birthday to the Pirate!Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07250084025459835860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190449783638849093.post-77067803690346390012007-08-16T23:29:00.000+11:002007-08-16T23:29:00.000+11:00Sounds like you're in a rutt.

Not to worry, Spring should be soon upon you.....but here's something to cheer you up...at least your DH hasn't invited everyone from work to your place for a BBQ then expected you to plan, bake, clean, make salads, shop.....I think he said that he'll buy the beer....Oh yeah I'll only know a couple of the people coming to my house.....<BR/>Thanks for letting me rant :)Five Ferns Fibreholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468372204415518412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190449783638849093.post-21202088325451480672007-08-16T23:15:00.000+11:002007-08-16T23:15:00.000+11:00Ten days for Bendy?
