Hide it from yourself until you want to play with it again -- remember; this is your *happy* hobby, lol!Cinnamonamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16964727756354855760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514321080627369757.post-61179125494774371522008-01-01T16:46:00.000-08:002008-01-01T16:46:00.000-08:00Well, mine are still not back on the needles.

I picked up the stitches already and just need some time away from it before re-knitting it again.<BR/><BR/>I think that the problem was also caused by Addi Turbos...you know, slippery and all...and I also knit tightly with this sock. *sighs* <I>mea culpa</I><BR/><BR/>@<B>morticcia:</B> Yup, vintage Port and dark chocolate (Lindt dark-bitter chocolate with 85% cocoa...I didn't want to break out the 99% yet) are definitely a very yummy choice.<BR/><BR/>@<B>cindy/snid:</B> The port was exceptionally yummy...since it was the Christmas gift from my boyfriend (the chocolate came with it, too).Elemmacilturhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06001661654657307595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514321080627369757.post-9724597049253412802007-12-31T17:32:00.000-08:002007-12-31T17:32:00.000-08:00So how was the Port ;)I still have only one sock d...So how was the Port ;)<BR/>I still have only one sock done...this is the only sock I have ever had SSS with- but I am hoping to complete the pair once we have arrived in India.

Space and time worked for me, although chocolate and Port seem like much a yummier diversion. Don't give up, put the scissors away, have a great new year and try again later. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure I've said it before but your yarn choice is fabulous. You can't give up on that yarn. It's too gorgeous, and it's dying to be a Firestarter!Morticciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01606043175114111707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514321080627369757.post-61745161858617067022007-12-31T06:02:00.000-08:002007-12-31T06:02:00.000-08:00I haven't even gotten to the heel yet!
