I just need something to take up time if I have to wait anywhere, am bored, don't know what else to do or am sad. Of late, the news has me kntting socks a lot. It keeps me sane and is productive, satisfying, and calming. I do knit other things, but socks beat out all.<br /><br />bjrBarb R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00623080260205285589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-467274045211008791.post-16836790347472622162011-03-20T16:52:04.730-05:002011-03-20T16:52:04.730-05:00Paula:

You're going to think I'm crazy but I like a double knitting project for comfort knitting because once the pattern is established, you don't need to look at the instructions and double knitting tends to occupy enough of my brain space that I can "tune" everything else out......well, I will call 911 if pressed and with good reason!!

The Daybreak Shawl has been fun, too.<br /><br />I love the way Quince & Company has set up their site so when you click on a color, the photo of the yarn changes. Also, the magnifying glass that appears when you hover your mouse over the yarn gives a close-up.
