I like my socks just fitted so when I knit one for myself, I always knit a little tighter. <BR/>I am no good at embroidery so I don't know where you can get some resource, but this japanese embroidery book looks nice (to me it looks far too difficult!!)<BR/>http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%81%AF%E3%81%98%E3%82%81%E3%81%A6%E3%81%AE%E5%88%BA%E3%81%97%E3%82%85%E3%81%86%E3%83%AF%E3%83%B3%E3%83%9D%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88%E3%82%B9%E3%83%86%E3%83%83%E3%83%81500%E2%80%95%E5%9B%B3%E6%A1%88%E3%81%AF%E3%81%99%E3%81%B9%E3%81%A6%E5%AE%9F%E7%89%A9%E5%A4%A7-Asahi-Original-181/dp/4021904093/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221431913&sr=8-2<BR/><BR/>Hope you had a good weekend!Kyokohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289005841209205003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9876450.post-44086649838797831302008-09-14T10:30:00.000-07:002008-09-14T10:30:00.000-07:00They look warm and comfortable, one of the things ...They look warm and comfortable, one of the things on my I need to learn list is socks. <BR/><BR/>How did you get the cute little interesting, funny buttons at the end of your blog post?<BR/><BR/>Doing some blog walking today and found my way here.

My kn...Nice, cute, comfy socks in time for winter! My knitting skills (thus far) consist of only the knit stitch. One of these days I will teach myself to purl ;-) There is a great book out there called "Knit a Square, Make a Toy", but it is out of print and goes for about $80 on ebay! I would ♥ to have it someday.<BR/><BR/>As for embroidery, it is quite easy (compared to the yarn arts). Go to www.sublimestitching.com and find some AWESOME patterns (and some how-to). I have done the Black Apple series, and it is pretty quick and fun. I have some pics on them on my blog(http://squishycutestuff.blogspot.com/2008/07/chock-full-o-adorable.html). I think it is easiest to embroider on canvas or a medium weight, non-stretchy fabric. If you are choosing your own colors, I don't think it matters much what floss brand you use. HOWEVER, my mom does cross-stitch, and in the instructions that is pretty specific on what brand and color# to use. I find embroidery is a lot more laid-back than cross-stitch (and sooo much faster!). You can even go to Jo-Ann/Hobby Lobby, etc and find some cute iron-on patterns from Aunt Martha brand for around $1-2. As for some of the stitches, there are some great video tutorials...check these out http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=makeitminemag<BR/><BR/>Wow...I apologize for the long post. I accidentally blogged on YOUR blog.
