I have conquered the Size 1 needles!

Lookee! It's Conwy from Knitting on the Road by Nancy Bush. It's got a twining rib pattern that looks like a little braid that runs down each rib.

My LYS had all sock yarn on sale last month, so I splurged and got some Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn. I wish the color was a little more uniform, but overall I really like it.

Knitting with the tiny yarn and needles isn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be!

Lorna's is very nice sock yarn and how cool you're enjoying the small needles! Knit on!

Ok, your blog hates me. It will never remember my email info. Love the color. I hope I can become half the knitter you are. I just get so frustrated and then end up pulling it all out after awhile. I need to realize that it's supposed to be fun, But I get so intense about it and that takes all the fun out of it. I am by nature a really high-strung person and overly sensitive so if I mess up at something it makes me mad at that thing. I need to just relax breath and have fun. I need a knitting mantra.

I have major second sock syndrome with my size 1 pair - I can't get started on the 2nd one. Argh... yours looks really great. Love the way the colors are working up on there.
