I’m so excited!

My needles arrived Wednesday.

Did you notice that part of my yarn is in a ball and part is still in it’s store-wound ball? That’s because you’ll need two separate portions of yarn to work with. The way I split mine was to wind a ball until I felt like I’d gotten half of it wound. Then I took out my little kitchen scale and weighed my ball. Since my entire skein was 100grams. I knew my ball needed to be 50grams. I left the remainder of the yarn in its original skein.

Since my yarn was already divided and ready, I cast on Wednesday afternoon and, in my obsession, stayed up late knitting and watching Frasier on Netflix.

I chose the pattern “Kid Stuff”. It’s the first pattern in the book.

You wanna see what I’ve got so far?

So there’s my little update on sock knitting progress.

Tomorrow I will post about the chickens and their excursion into the snow.
