Hello again knitting world

OMG! I can't believe it's been 3 years since my last post. A lot has happened since then, a lot has been knit since then. I discovered a really good yarn work website. It's called Ravelry, and it is awesome. It has tons of patterns, free and not. It also has message boards and forums covering any topic you could possibly imagine. I am a member of a dish cloth swap group, which is really fun. Each month there is a different theme for the swap, and you send stuff to someone and they send stuff back to you. Here's a picture of what I received in the February Valentine's themed swap.

I'm also working on my second pair of socks. I got a great sock book, Socks a la Carte. The pages are cut into sections so you can flip through and choose a cuff, a body, and a heel/foot. The pattern I'm knitting right now is just a basic rib pattern, I think I'm going to need a little advice before I can move on to the more complicated patterns. The yarn I'm using is really pretty though, so it doesn't need a complicated pattern to make it pop. See:

I already have an outfit picked out to wear with them when they're finally done. Well, it's time to get back to knitting, hope to post again real soon.
