That's Knit-tastic!

The sock I'm working on is coming along quite nicely. I finished the heel, and am on the home stretch. If I'm lucky, I'll finish it tonight and have pictures to post tomorrow. Next I think I'm going to try my hand at cable knitting. I found a poncho with cable knit that I'm going to attempt. Either that, or cable twist socks. I've really enjoyed knitting socks, so I think I may stick with them for a little while.

Yesterday I was looking at the different kinds of yarn I can use for socks, when I came across this. It's white yarn that you can color yourself. I also found instructions for dying yarn with Kool-Aid. I'm going to have to try this stuff out.

About me: I'm a twenty-something self-taught knitter currently living in Midwest City, Oklahoma. I would like to help other youngish people learn to knit as well. I would love to start a local knitting group, but I'm having a hard time finding people who are interested.
