Regia Kaffe Fassett Design Sock Yarn at Yarn Supply<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
I have not knit a pair of socks in three years, since the sight loss. <\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/b>I tried and tried, several times.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Finally, I set the sock yarn and needles aside and knew that I had to just take baby steps in regaining my knitting skills again. Mostly, for the past three years, I have knitted dish cloths and towels in cotton; Matinee Swing Jackets from Lion Brand Homespun yarn; and some Prayer Shawls for friends who have disabilities and some for myself to keep around my shoulders on cold winter days.
\n
I love to knit but it has been a challenge for me.<\/strong><\/center>I still encounter problems if I have to pick up a dropped stitch, or tear down a row or two to fix a mistake. My friend, Chris has done this for me when I am in a “fix.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It has now been eleven years since I suddenly lost my sight.
\nI have regained my confidence that I, too, can learn how to do more complicated patterns and be successful. So, with this in mind, I have ordered some stunning sock yarn, and some Addi Turbo circular needles that are super flexible. I am planning to knit a pair of socks again, using my new Addi Turbo’s and my Kaffe Fassett yarns. I have ordered this yarn through http:\/\/www.yarnsupply.com and it arrived very quickly. The yarn looks wonderful.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

This has motivated me to give it a try again. Learning to be patient, and willing to do things over and over again, with determination, is now my life style.<\/p>\n

Some days I still want to breeze through tasks, but then I get very frustrated and anxious when I do. I have to just tell myself to slow down, and enjoy the experience of re-learning things I used to do so easily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The new yarn has inspired me to try and try and try again, to make socks.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I love to wear handmade socks. They feel so comforting and cozy on my feet.<\/strong><\/div>\n

Pennsylvania author and fiber artist, Lynda McKinney Lambert, writes about her struggle to regain her skills in knitting after sudden sight loss in 2007. In this post, she has challenged herself to be able to knit a pair of socks again. She is inspired to keep on trying to overcome this challenge and has purchased some beautiful new yarn that she hopes will be turned into socks in the future. Can she do it?
