Every spare second has been filled with knitting for the last two weeks, or at least that's how it feels. I have learned to knit after a 20-some year break. I'm taking a class and it's wonderful because I'm actually learning all the basics besides the actual knit and purl stitch, like how to bind off and read a pattern. Next week we are to learn how to do cable stitches. I've finished two dish clothes and am working on a third, started a scarf (pink/purple) and have a large practice piece that is a pattern similar to a rib stitch that I will probably finish soon and give to my daughter as a doll afghan.
I'm having a great time and am really hoping that the shop where I'm taking lessons will offer a sock project class soon. I really want to learn to knit socks. That was on my goal list for this year and I have purchased the supplies already.

Hello! I just stumbled upon your blog this morning--good for you for getting (back) into knitting. You'll be knitting those socks in no time. They aren't nearly as scary/complicated as people think. :) Good luck!
