Major Knitter: Frogging Friday - My Very Own Socks!

I am back in the swing of things. Whew! (Now if I could just catch up on my emails I'd feel complete). My knitting group is back in session; my charity work is back in swing; Scout season has begun; school is settling into the normal routine; friends are resurfacing; and my Craft Clutch (not to be confused with my knitting group) is also back together. We kicked off our Craft Clutch at my house this morning and Julie asked me about my finishing or frogging every Friday. While I haven't really finished anything of note all summer, I am catching the knitting fever again and am ready to knit up a storm. In fact, I found a beautiful blue, purple yarn at Westport Yarns this summer and immediately cast on for a pair of socks for yours truly.

Shortly after beginning the leg of the first sock, I realized that the Plymouth Yarn - Zino - runs a little thinner than the average fingering weight sock, so I'll have to add more sts to my basic sock pattern and go down a needle size (possibly to a US Size 0!!!) to get a perfect sock.

With nothing to compare the sock to, it's difficult to tell how small it's turning out, but this sock might fit a 4-5 year old. I love this yarn too much to not turn them into My Very Own Socks as planned, so I decided to frog them and reknit them. Fortunately, I hadn't gotten very far. But at least I have something to present for Finish or Frog It Friday.

Ah, the ramen noodles of frogging. I love the way this looks. Isn't this yarn pretty? Have you knit with it? How did it work for you?

Wilma loves having things back to the normal routine, too. She's thrilled to have people constantly coming to the house. In fact, she gets a little too excited. Here she is making herself at home on top of Michelle's bag. We even asked if Michelle had a steak inside her bag. Nope, just a cell phone. Wilma decided it was the perfect spot to sit and scratch her ear (and chew her hind paw). There's my wackadoodle.
