Thanks Tracy! Glad to know I don’t have to learn something new. I’ll take your advice on the going up a needle with her too.

> Hi guys! Just cause I’m not able to get into classes lately doesn’t mean I have stopped crafting. While I still owe Terri and Henry a call about loom knitting I have tried my hand at needing some thing round and circular needles. I vaguely remember someone trying to explain how to do it before and somehow my fingers remembered for the most part. I’m having trouble keeping a stitch marker in my starting place but that somethings small. I put stuff down and then those things jump off. I’m taking Henry suggestion of making a draft dodger. I am going to put the Styrofoam balls in. I don’t remember what size knitting needle but I do like the bamboo ones . Anyhow I’m just using up little bits of this and that to practice changing colors and knitting in the round. Who cares as long as it keeps the freezers out? It doesn’t have to be glamorous it just has to work.

I’m bound and determined to succeed at that since one of my best friends in Colorado who’s cited can’t do it an and she’s been knitting longer than I have.  thanks for any advice on either making socks for beginners or on this finding off thing.
