Socks are just meant to go in mated pairs -- like certain birds. XD

Yeah, I don't plan on making a mate for that one, since it was sort of a "test run", plus I want to do the two-at-a-time method, like I am doing for a pair of fingerless gloves. It is a bit fussy, but it kills Second Sock Syndrome.

Oh no!! The poor mateless dear! v.v

At least it shall not happen to any of his brethren.

Yes he is doing all right though, he'll have some knitted toys to keep him company he doesn't like socks anyway... *shifty*

haha Yes although I don't know how many I will be making XD. Well, I would need sock weight yarn... I don't have enough of that to make a pair.

Oh dear! You need to get more yarn before you make more socks then. ^.^

Yeah, but I already have plenty of non-sock yarn that needs to be used up so my goal is to use that u p before I buy more XD. I mean, i've already bought more sicne I've said that, but.. not much.

What are you planning to make with it?

A scarf? An afghan? a shawl?

No idea, that's the trouble. I don't have enough to make much interesting, I already have too many half-assed scarves and whatnot anyway xD.

Maybe a hairband.

My Mom knitted me one or two of those to wear outside in the winter to cover my ears when I was in school.

Nah, I've got hats and I don't have much hair to hold xD.

What about gloves? Too much like socks?

I've seen little knitted finger puppets. XD

I've seen those as well XD.

Gloves are actually quite different from socks, more complicated but they don't have heel shaping to deal with XD. I have not made any complete gloves although I almost finished a "finger-only" glove for my sister. I dind't finish because it was too small, and I kind of got discouraged xP.

I guess the finger parts would be hard to knit.

I just didn't know what might take less yarn than a sock.

Maybe a bookmark.

Individually the fingers are fine, depending on how you knit them they can be like little tiny hats with long tubes attached or just tubes that are joined at the end, but the most difficult part is probably the separation of the hand into fingers (or the joining of the fingers to the hand, depending on which way you started). They'd probably take less yarn than a pair of socks, but I don't really need gloves atm. I guess xP.

Oh! Mittens would be easier than gloves.

But I guess you don't need them either.

Yeah not really XD. Right now, most of the things that I would be knitting to wear, probably would nto be wearable at the moment XD.

That happens in summer. You might try a light spring vest, though.

Yeah but most of the yarn I have is acrylic and somewhat heavy I guess xP.

I guess that does limit things considerably.

Yes exactly xD.

Mini shawl style collar?

Sure, that could work lol. I dunno I ' ll figure something out XD.

Let me know what you come up with. <3

I will do that XD.

Pictures, too! ^.~

Ooh, now I am all excited for something that i don't even nkow when it is going to happen XD.

LOLs! XD And - if I get around to making them - I will have to show you artist trading cards by me that I mentioned wanting to make on solia.

Yay! Haha. I think I ought to try making some of those XD.

The only problem is that I spend so much time on-line keeping up with avatar sites. XD I need to make that art for someone on gaia. But first I need to get aurum here, and finish getting items for the Solia and Ruffles Easter events, too. Then I will have time for crafts.

I want to start a garden this year as well.

lmao yeah I am the same unfortunately.

That would be nice x3.

I don't like anything covering my hands the only closest thing I can wear on my hands are those fingerless gloves (like the fitness ones)

Yes I like making fingerless gloves, they are fun.

Your avatar looks like a video game character; I like it :).

I want to grow some foods for eatables. ^.^

Hello, Echo. You look like Laura Croft.

Yes I was thinking of that but I do not know the game that well so I couldn't say that for sure xD.

And awesome! I was hoping that was the plan, it's nice to grow food <3.

Yup. Laura Croft from Tomb Raider. Not that I know a lot about games.

I figured growing veggies would help with food costs.

I do like flowers, though. I have some that I will keep in the garden.

Aw that is cool then :). Good with food costs and energy and pesticide consumption/spread as well.

That is what I was thinking. If I could just get organized enough to do it.

Aw, haha. My dad has a veggie garden, he does'nt spend tons of time with it ,but it does produce tomatoes and peppers pretty well when he tries.

We have deer and rabbits - not to mention other critters - that run though our yard. So, I would have to weed, water, fertilize, and guard those plants a good deal. The results will be tasty, though.

We do not have deer, in all these fenced in yards XD but we do have rabbits and the garden has to be protected from those, but for the most part it does fine.
