Hi all,
I'm back to tell you that my friend came over on Monday and got me
started on 4 needle socks. She had taken me shopping for new yarn and
larger needles first. Once she showed me how to get going, everything
fell into place.She said she thought the woman in the yarn shop steered
me wrong on what to buy. She tried using my original yarn and needles
and said she, who is an experienced sock and mitten maker, was having
trouble. When spring comes and I return to Cape Cod I'll tell the woman
in the yarn shop out there that I was unhappy with her service and as a
result she has lost someone who would have been a frequent and good
customer.I'll do my shopping here at home first and bring my projects
with me when I go to Cape Cod.
Hugs to all,
Juno

I'm getting there. I'm about to start the second step in the heel. I've
not put a lot of time into this week. Busy cooking and cleaning. Some of
my children and grand children will be sharing the day with us tomorrow.

Juno, the woman in the yarn shop in all probability suggested what
worked best for her. Why not first tell her what sort of difficulties
you had and see if you can figure out why? Maybe she holds her yarn
completely different -- etc.
Good luck with the socks.

Usually I give people the benefit of the doubt. Not this time. I'm a
very easy going person and don't get annoyed with people. Her attitude
was one of get what you want and leave I have real customers here. I
should have left but I really wanted to try to make the socks. I
explained that I hadn't knitted in many years and needed some guidance.
She wasn't about to be bothered.
