Im still getting the hang of this blog thing ok?!?!?!?!

ok, here goes:
ALPAKA SAGA:
1.picked up alpaka sweater knitted a couple rows decided to make it a vest.
2.knitted 6 rows in garter stitch to sfinish the bottom, cast off, tried on "vest" it flared out so bad it made me look like a human mushroom.
3. riped back six rows picked up 140 st. ribbed k1,p1, for about 8 rows, cast off.
4. tried on alpaka "vest" liked the feel so much decided to go with the origional sweater idea.
*sigh*

P.S. finished dad sock ( the first one that is)

size 6

That is not my clothing size.
But my shoe = sock size of course! So I have been happy with the benifits of haveing small feet and thusly small socks. its strange when you try to do good and it seems like there is a force trying to stop it. Im knitting the "gentelmens shooting socks" from knitting vintage socks. (Its my only knitting pattern book) for my father, who wheres a size 9 in mens. The pattern originaly stated to knit on size zeros. Well. HELL NO. so im knitting them on size ones for him. I just think that regular pepole dont understand how much work and devotion goes into one sock.
giveing makes me happy, giving makes me happy, giving makes me happy.
