I'm a cheap knitter: I don't buy patterns and I knit with whatever cheap materials I can find. While my projects are not as pretty as they could be, I enjoy my hobby and get to wear my creations. People actually wear my gifts. What else could I hope for?

What I've been doing...
I have been knitting (and frogging too), but I am so far unable to post pictures to prove it. This has turned me into a bad blogger. I've been waiting all week for an opportunity to post my pictures, but my husband's computer was never available. So I decided to post a simple progress report without pictures.
I knit a few rows of the ribbed blue thing. I haven't finished the back yet.
I finished my husband's computer gloves (fingerless gloves, a project I had not touched in months).
I finished the beaded scarf, but frogged the airplane and started again because the scarf was too short.
I started knitting a sock with my self striping, mouthwash-Kool-Aid yarn. I used Wendy's short row toe. I also used short rows to do the ankle and that messed up the stripes. I should have used an afterthought ankle instead. As for the toe, I would try Wendy's figure eight toe. I was lucky this time with the short rows, but maybe next time I won't be.
