Work In Progress - One Finished Item

I finished one sock and cast on for the second, when I got a little sidetracked.

I spent the afternoon watching the rain come down and knit this itty bitty hat. I wonder who would like to have it for Christmas...



Now I can get back to the socks, I am really enjoying knitting this pattern. I particularly like the fact that I don't have to work it from a chart. I prefer when patterns are written out for me, I somehow find them a lot easier to follow. Am I the only one who hates charts? Why are all the nice sock patterns written in chart? Most annoying...

Tomorrow I am going to visit a woman in the neighbourhood who gives spinning lessons. It is something that has fascinated me for some time and I'm going to give it a try. Mostly I want to see if I can physically do it before I commit myself to lessons having been told it might be a little difficult for my knees and hip to handle. I guess I'll find out.
