QUIET PLEASE!!

QUIET PLEASE................we are doing the Kitchener Stitch!  Why oh why does it require absolute quiet with no interference from anyone or anything to do this stitch?  It's not like it's a new stitch to me, I've done it many, many times...................................... but, I have to read each step and then repeat 'knit, knit, purl, purl' until the last stitch is closed!  Then breate a sign of relief!

Yes!  It does look right and the top of this sock is closed!  Wait, there is another one to close, so quiet please.   And on we go to finish up a pair of socks.

This pattern came from this book--lots of creative and unusual patterns.

Doesn't matter where the designer lives, we all speak the same language when it comes to knitting.

Good!  Off the needles and ready to wear--well, next fall now.

And I'm not worried that the stripes don't match--it's all good!

Once more--quiet please!  We have another pair to close up. 

Well, this pair of socks begin with another pattern and alas, I didn't really like the tedious work so switched to this pattern "Hermiones-everyday-socks" by Erica Lueder of Dreams in Fiber Blog.  Both of these patterns were easy to remember and easy to knit, so we have two more pair of socks to add to our wardrobe! 
Hope you don't need quiet when you do the Kitchener Stitch!

All year long, there is time to knit and a hat is my go to.  There are so many different techniques to try with an outcome of a useful item....
