Ok Flo, I can totally understand now WHY you put your knitting needles away sometimes! I was at that point yesterday. That is the first time in YEARS that I have felt that way. lol
I am really getting a challenge with this months Rockin Sock Club pattern. I love the yarn, love the pattern and I can work the pattern, but the fit of the sock is giving me headaches. It is a toe up pattern and I was to the point where I was working the leg and I ripped the whole thing out! It was OK until I turned the heel and then it was too tight. It's a lace pattern, so I don't want to be yanking on it to wear it. Yup, I decided to start over. Several days work gone. Poof! I know I will be happier now with the next results though. I joined this club for the process rather than the project, so I had to say that out loud about ten times yesterday to calm myself down. Thanks for listening, I feel better now!

Mostly a knitting blog but...there are no rules
The Three Bags
We are 3 women Flo, Jo and Lilly, (not our real names) who thought a blog would be a fun way to share some of our knitting projects, completed or not, and anything else that is of interest to us. We all have families and various interests such as gadgets, horses, photography, music, etc... which we will incorporate into this blog from time to time. There are no rules because, frankly, some of us don't like to follow rules. Jo and Lilly, on the other hand, enjoy rules. They have been known to take on the name of "Rhonda Rulebook" from time to time. As you will soon see rules are important for some things in life but not necessarily EVERYTHING.
If you are confused by the name, "Three Bags Full", don't worry about it. I didn't get it the first time Lilly mentioned it to me (her idea for the name). I laughed the way I tend to do when I know something should be funny, but inside my head I was frantically triggering neurons to no avail. She finally broke out in song, "Bah bah black sheep have you any wool...." Ahhhh silly me. Silly you, too, if you didn't get it.

Did you try doing a toe like last month's toe? Sometimes you can fudge the math a bit. Knitty also has a universal toe up patter which might help as well. Silly me though, I can't even get the intial part of the toe down . . . but I have to finish two other projects before I can really invest my time in it.
Man, I'm kinda bummed. It took me awhile to tackle the Inside Out sock, I'm thrilled with the new stuff I learned but not thrilled that it practically takes the skin off my heels to get the socks on. I'll have to check around for other members comments before I start the second pattern.. I agree with you --I want the process more than the product, but the temptation to fling my knitting across the room has been there!
