Yesterday I got the yarn for my sister's Christmas stocking. It's a simple stocking, really, just needed more yarn (isn't that always the way?). Luckily I'm visiting my mom in North Carolina, so I found yarn that will work perfectly for much less than I would at home (New York City). Only problem, I have metal needles!
Ergh!
I just discovered how much I hate metal needles. I am using a 100% acrylic yarn and metal needles. My gauge is huge (and off) because the yarn slips so easily from one needle to the next, I have little/no control.
From now on...it's bamboo!
Going to watch a Bob Hope & Bing Crosby movie (Road to Bali), knit, and hang with mom. More kvetching later...
