K-NITTING SOCKS

I bought Cat Bordhi's New Pathways for Sock Knitters and am in love.
I brought it to that store that starts with a K and does photocopying and shipping. That place that I usually don't like to go. On the east coast, nasty people work in that store and made their customers life hell for the short period that was needed to do your business. Here in Flag they are nice and I could almost even say the name, but they don't need my small corner of the world trumpeting their name.
So I brought it to that copy store and asked them to laminate the cover and put a spiral binding on my new, loved K-nitting book. See how flat and nice it lays? Lies? Good K-nitting book.

She illustrates her designs beautifully and has you K-nit (I am enjoying typing it that way) baby socks to learn each new technique. Her basic premise is that as long as you have increases to accommodate the instep you need not have to have a gusset or even the traditional heel flap. Brilliant.
can you see the fanning increases in this baby version of the Little Sky Sock?
No matter what I told myself two years ago, I can and do want to knit, socks. I sorta have it that some day I might like to knit myself a cardigan, but that will be after my own book is finished. When I grow up.

So, as I was coming home I thought about the list I created in the last post for the me-me. I would like to add a number

8. I enjoy small bits of memory prowess, otherwise my memory is sorta shot. When I remember to buy scrubbies at the grocers I feel like a genius.
