I would love some wool/tencel for projects. I don’t do much bulky knitting.

I received my skein in the mail yesterday. It’s just gorgeous, I love the feel of the wool and colors are beautiful. Thank you so much. I’ll be sure to go into your store and order more. I think I’ll save this skein for a nice lace scarf.

This summer I also put my daughter into a camp, a day one and she loves it. I have spent the time doing some knitting on socks, a kit of the Plisse’ cardi, a sweater for my DH, and several other projects. Of course – at the moment – I am obsessed with a special skein that is being knit into Monkey socks. . . wonder where that came from? LOL

Ooh, I have yet to finish my first pair of socks I started on over two years ago but I have fun picking it up every once in a while. This is the website I printed out to help me figure it all out:

Excellent list of free patterns:

My tip when amassing your list is to not forget all the free patterns available from yarn companies like:

These sideways socks are my personal answer to single-sock syndrome – I can do one the regular way & one sideways, ala Opal (whose free mismatched pair pattern is, unfortunately, not available) What fun – I’ll be back soon to check on the list!

I think doing one sock sideways ala Opal’s ex-free pattern is a magnificent cure to the single-sock syndrome – at least for me! This is presented in a series of four installments on Nona’s website, starting with very detailed sizing charts…

How many do you want? I have 20 folders of at least 50 to 300 different free sock patterns in each one from the web over the course of 3-4 years of collecting, I have other folders in catgories for other garment items as well as patterns for crochet and other crafts. Eventually I’ll do a web page for all of them. I collect patterns every day from Yahoo groups I’m on, Ravelry, following links in web pages and web rings just to see what’s out there or new. Here’s some from today’s collecting:

These are just today’s patterns so far. Enjoy.
