Can see why you're anxious to get started using it. And you're becoming the sock pro ... how long does it take you to make a pair now? Seems like it's quite fast.

Thanks for linking to that comment by KO. How funny.

I finally got around to taking pix of some of my projects. These are two crocheted baby blankets. The yellow one is finished, the blue one in progress and almost done. I like the waffle pattern - it makes the blanket a bit stretchy.

And a couple of knitting things on the go. The first is a really chunky wool - the thickest I've used (needles are size 13), for a neck warmer thingee.

And this is a scarf using the softest alpaca blend. It feels really good to work with.

The socks take about 2 weeks for a pair; it does seem to be going faster.  Of course, I never thought I'd want to knit socks, but they're fun and the yarn is so fine I get a lot of knitting time for the investment.  I just need to get a pair made for myself now...

Your baby blankets look great (that waffle texture is cool), but I REALLY love the colors in your scarf!  It must be incredibly soft with the alpaca.

My sweater yarn is merino with silk and a touch of cashmere, to give you an idea how soft and mushy it is.

It's the softest yarn. And yeah, I love the colours too.

Your yarn sounds wonderful. Having good yarn makes such a difference. I had some really awful acrylic stuff that was just horrible. It kept catching and the tension was all over the place, so I gave up on it.

Wow.  That jewel toned alpaca is amazing.  I'm spending way too many hours scouring the net for cool wool.  I have a sinking feeling that once I really get this craft down, I will be spending way too many dollars buying cool wool!
