Back to the old knit and purl...

I've recently been sucked back into the world of knitting by a friend of mine who wanted to learn how. So after teaching her the basics, casting on, knit and purl and starting her off on a ribbed scarf, I went home to search for my old robe I had started but never came close to finishing.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the pattern.

I've ordered a new pattern that uses the same yarn, JO Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed. Its a cute sweater from JO Sharp called Freya.

Well pending the book with the new pattern coming in I started a pair of socks since I had all the tools on hand, no need to spend any money! And here's where I am so far...
And I only started yesterday! My favorite part is that the yarn is self striping, yep that's right self striping, be sure to take another look.

More to come soon on how my plants are fairing and how the heel hath turned.
