Sox


I've been trying, for about the last 6 months to learn how to knit socks. It's not that I'm knitting illiterate! It's just that I can't figure out the heel turns and toes at the socks. Eventually I rip them all out and go back to making felted cat beds or something else.

A friend at work figured out a new way to knit a sock using just one needle. That sounds easy! Except - you still have to count and do math - and make sure you're on the right side or the wrong side - or some such stuff. Wednesday night I finished my first sock! To be sure, half of the sock was one way and the other half was another way! But hey! It was my first stumbling step into the world of sock knitting.

Today I finished learning sock number two! And that sock - well it looks like it could be an actual sock.

So today is a banner day in the world of socks. Here is a picture of the very first pair of socks I knitted! (I love the little baby too!)
