I got a phone call that my fiber was ready,so road trip it was on Fri.I had a couple of panic attacks when I couldn`t go over a bridge that led straight to the shop,they are working on it & I had to detour.To get there,it wasn`t so bad,God kept leading the way,but I wouldn`t follow,I kept going in circles.The way I WAS going I did finally go,& it led me straight there.Alright,Lord,get me home...
It was good I had no one alone in the van,as it was stacked to the ceiling with roving.The roving I dyed myself looks really good.I wasn`t sure how it would look with the colors blended.
On the way home,I got really lost & was almost in tears.Suddenly the York hospital came into view,& I could hear my brother-in-law-one who just died in April- saying,well now you know where you are,it will be fine now.It was,but the trip took me twice as long as it should.I`m getting myself a GPS,don`t know how to hook them up,but I`ll figure it out.
After having another slight heart attack over the cost of the milled fiber,I guess I`ll try to sell some,I have enough to start a small shop!I still have more fiber to wash & take to the mill,but it is not so overwelming since all of this is done.I stored it in my living room for now till I make room in the other shed for it.

I bet a GPS would help as long as you keep it up-to-date. That sure is a lot of wool!
I did buy one & haven`t done anything with it yet.The instructions did say to follow up on the site every 90 days,that may be a problem for me...
That looks like fun! You will have lots of fiber to play with. Sorry you got lost, that's no fun.
You were asking about sock knitting, but I don't have your email address, so if you don't mind I'll answer your question here?
I’m not a big fan of double pointed needles as it seems like when I put the project down I always have a needle fall out. So I’m using two 24” circular needles size 0 to knit socks. I knit rather loose so I have to use a 0 to get the gauge that I need. I pull one needle so that the stitches are on that needle, then I use the other end of that needle to knit with, while the other circ just hangs in the back. Then I flip it around, doing the same thing with the next needle, so I’m alternating needles. I hope that helps, and if you need any more help, just let me know.
I hope that you don't mind me posting this, but if you do, just delete it :-)
Take care,
Judy
Thank-you,that sounds like something that I can do!
