Hello I actually used this tutorial to make my first pair. Good luck with it

I did one sock on four double pointed needles. It actually went really great!

That knitting with dog hair book sounds great! I don’t remember knitting with it but I spun and wove dog hair when I was in high school. My parents had some friends that we visited, they had a poodle/English sheepdog cross. I love dogs so of course I had to pet it, the fur was unbelievably soft. I asked if they brushed the dog and could save the fur for me and they did! It was beautiful and soft. I’ll buy the book when I get some extra money, I have one dog in particular who has beautiful soft, thick fur.

Your hat for dreads is a great idea! Looks really good too. That’s the wonderful thing about making your own, you can be creative and make something that suits you totally!

Awesomeness! Headband is a bit genius! And I’m always a bit awed by people who have cracked that mysterious “knitting in the round” thing.

I love those! I may have to get my hands on that dog hair book. We have enough dog hair around our house to clothe a small village…

Hi Tara,
We just wanted to introduce ourselves and this was the only way we could. We, too, live in Vegas and we’ve been living in a motorhome for about two months now. Me, my husband Scott and our 14 year old daughter and 11 year old son. We’ve been in Lee Canyon during the heat and just got back from Lincoln County. We can’t travel around the country as we would like though because Scott is an apprentice with the pipefitters union. We also unschool the kids. I was linked to your website through the unschooling group on yahoo.
Would like to meet you and Scott loves your headband for dreads as he is looking for something to tie his back, we could trade for some hemp jewelry. :O)
my email is asrai22@gmail.com
Love and Light,
Tiffani

Got your email, Tara, and am having trouble with it today, so thought I’d leave a comment in reply. Thank you so much! It does make sense, and I’ll definitely try this at some point. Thanks so much for taking the time to do that!

Okay here is an attempt at a pattern:

Cast on 20, knit a row, then purl, then knit, then purl for the first “block”.
*
Then PURL, knit, purl, knit.
*
Then back to knit, purl, knit, purl and so on until the second to last “block” where I placed the buttonholes.
*
Then one more block, then one row of the next block, then cast off.
*
Make sense?
