It started when we lived in Chicago, and would drive home to West Virginia for Christmas. We'd read a Christmas-themed story, and then we just enjoyed it so much, we have kept that going. <br /><br />The socks look great - when I have someone right there to give them to, I never bother blocking. I'm sure he'll like them.<br /><br />I have no good tips for joining yarn. But I'm gonna see if I can work out what Dee describes above ...Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641404632001445083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923606944837827580.post-89612779700616524592016-08-31T22:32:58.023-04:002016-08-31T22:32:58.023-04:00Oh my ..........I wonder how many drivers had to a...Oh my ..........I wonder how many drivers had to actual disassemble their car???<br /><br />Can you imagine having to do that today???? Talk about traffic jam!<br /><br />Colin's socks look great.<br /><br />I wish I lived close enough to show you my trick for joining yarn.<br /><br />You fold the two yarns back on themselves so you have a loop. Put the end of the new yarn through the loop of the old yarn. (Think of it as linking them together like linking your fingers.)<br /><br />Then knit with the doubled over thread to lock it in. You have to fuss with the size of the loops to get them to end at the spot you need to change, but once you figure it out....it is pretty easy. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923606944837827580.post-85697958377518337422016-08-31T22:19:32.179-04:002016-08-31T22:19:32.179-04:00Congrats on finishing the socks.. lots of people a...Congrats on finishing the socks.. lots of people are hooked on making them.

It all started with my third grade teacher reading us the Little House books right after lunch each day. I was hooked. Araigneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543030200956480168noreply@blogger.com
