thursday morning

Thursday mornings i have a little bit of time alone before i have a 9 hour work day. I like to spend these times looking at knitting blogs and doing a little bit of homework. I was reading Pins and needles and thought i better write something or whoever sees my blog on tracy's blog is gonna think i'm some sissy blogger. I don't write much. I guess because I think blogs are more interesting if they have pictures and i am having a hard time getting my pictures figured out. Oh well, anyway, i was working really hard on laura's knee socks done in Fine marino wool, but I had to rip them out twice because they were definately too big. I made a smaller one and sent it to her in the mail to see if it's gonna fit before i spend another entire day on one and find out it's too small. I don't know what has been happening to my gauge lately... it seems like thinks turn out too big lately. I need advice. maybe i'm not giving the project enough stretch factor.so anyway, my knitting class is great!! I love my ladies, they are all learning how to make a hat now. It's lots of fun. I will be teaching a learn to crochet class at cozy on March 20. This class teaching thing is great!!! I am learning a lot too!! peace out heather
