Oh, yes I could! I think that we've all been there at some time or
other.

I knit all my socks on two needles and join with a flat seam, no problem!
Just can't cope with 4 needles or circular needles.

I'm wondering if maybe that's the best way for me to get back into
knitting. Do you have a basic patterns you can share or is it one that
has a copy write. If it's a copy write could you tell me where to find
one like it. I would really like to use the sock weight yarn I have.
It's so pretty. If I can't find a suitable pattern to use I'll make a
scarf with what I have and get different yarn for socks.This all took me
by surprise. I figured knitting was like riding a bike, something you
just don't forget. I didn't count on my hands becoming so clumsy. The
one thing I found out when I was practicing is that I still knit to
gauge. Now that surprised me, I thought that was the area I'd have a
problem with.
