I've seen a few of my friends at quilt guild meetings knitting socks and I became intrigued. I've been reading a few blogs where the author has knit socks and I became obsessed. I've put off doing anything about knitting socks because it's been 23 years since I've knit anything. (I knitted a sweater for myself when I was expecting my daughter. That's why I know precisely how old that sweater is.) I don't have any knitting supplies (I gave them all to afore mentioned daughter when she dabbled in knitting a few years ago), and socks look reasonably complicated.
But I keep thinking about knitting socks (I'm obsessing, remember?). So I asked for some supplies for Christmas and my darling daughter complied. She got me a book and a gift certificate for supplies. I picked up needles and yarn before New Year's Eve and got started.
Here's a few shots of my progress:
Working on the heel flap.
Forming a heel.
Working down to the toe.
I'm really enjoying this, even though I've had to do quite a bit of ripping to get the pattern correct. But, I'm having fun!
