Going backwards to move ahead

I fell in love with a pair of socks in 2007, I have wanted to make them, but they are knee high socks, which I don't wear. I have thought of these socks often and have recently cast on. The socks are enterlac, which I have made a few small things in. Entrelac Socks - Interweave"



I have only cast on and done the toes. I kinda got scared of messing up the enterlac once I got to that point. So I cast on with cotton, figuring a face cloth/wash cloth would be a nice practice piece. I also got to thinking that I should learn how to knit backwards- imagine not having to turn my work any more. I really like and it isn't as hard as I thought it would be. I also noticed that my tension is pretty even and my gauge has loosened up some. I am a tight knitter- so although as you can see going backwards can help you move forward:0)

I am always planning on updating.

I don't know why it is such a pain for me to sit down and write. I always knew that writing isn't my thing. I mix present and past tense. I make typos, after I write I don't want to proof read. I have noticed that when I read other people's blogs, they do the same things! Well they do a considerable job better, but they do make little mistakes. I know that shouldn't make me feel any better- but it shows me they are not perfect and if helps.

I have a ton of pictures that I took:) I went to Rhinebeck Sheep & Wool Festival in Oct 2010. I will have to post pictures of that. For anyone that doesn't know it is "heaven" for any fiber artist. The spinning tools, the knitting and crochet items, weaving tools, and I am sure I am forgetting some fiber crafts.

For my not posting in forever- I can't think of any other updates that I should do. I do have project pictures and notes- but I try to keep those on Ravelry. So in short- I am going to try to keep this up. Yet, this is me and my dislike of writing isn't going to vanish any time soon.
