Loom Knitting. Working Yarn. I say "uh oh" because she's kind of creepy, but even so, I did it--I bought a big-eyed doll, Susie Sad Eyes. Not only are her huge eyes sad and woebegone, she has dark circles under her eyes, poor thing, crooked bangs and a really rough haircut (which I see is the norm for this doll). I first spotted this 8" doll in a locked glass case at a nearby antique store. With each visit over the past few years, I'd stop by and peer down at the sad creature, and this weekend I couldn't resist, so I bought her. The price was $24. Susie Sad Eyes was a cheaply produced plastic doll from the 1960s and 1970s. Susie has a following that's kind of fascinating. Now, I must say that the Ebay prices of Susies are a bit steep.

May 2007. I was asked this question recently, how do I find time to knit. I honestly do take a knitting bag with me nearly everywhere. There have been times I've been tempted to take a small project along to work on while standing in line at the grocery store. I don't know why I have to spend more time in line waiting to pay for my things than I spent gathering them from the store shelves. When I was working on my book, there were times I knit in the car, but just while sitting at leap year red lights. I didn't keep that up for long, as I quickly realized I was not setting a very good example for my daughter, who is old enough to remember this when she starts driving in a few short years! The trick to knitting on the go is to work on simple and/or small projects.
If it's something you'll be picking up and putting down quite a bit, or something you'll be working on while chatting, you need to be able to figure out where you left off and what you were doing very easily.

I created an Excel spreadsheet quite awhile ago so I can pretty much put in the number of pegs I'm going to use and Excel does most of the figuring for me, it makes it quick and easy when doing slippers and socks on different looms.
When doing a slipper/sock on the blue Knifty Knitter this is how I do the heel so there are no holes. It's a two step process; decrease and increase. You will start the heel after completing the ankle. So if you were to try this on Meilynne's KK sock pattern you would substitute it on "Heel Flap & Turn Heel" in her instructions. The reason I like doing the heels this way is everything looks lined up when done...give it a try and leave me a comment if you do! Heel Decrease: *Note: Row 1: Starting at peg 1. Increase: Wrap & Knit (knit 2 over 1 on the pegs that have 3 loops on them from when you did the decreases) When you are finished, all pegs should have only one loop on them and you should be at peg 1.
