Socks.
I think it's cool to have something to wear that you knitted or crocheted yourself, but I'm an odd size and I'm getting tired of scarves. Socks seemed a good idea, so I actually crocheted a pair a few years ago.
I was at a knitting and Stitching show one year at Ally Pally and found this really cool variegated sock yarn. I started to crochet socks with it and found that it was highly likely I wasn't going to have enough for a whole pair. Crochet takes up about three times more yarn than knitting does, so I decided to learn how to knit socks.
Knitting is a very slow process for me so this sock is taking ages to grow. Here's the last known photo of the sock. It's not much bigger now, but I have been spreading myself quite thin lately.
It's getting there ..... then you'll need to do the other one of the pair!!!
ReplyDeleteI knitted my first pair of socks in the summer -they are addictive!! That yarn is lovely, too.
ReplyDeleteWow I am impressed - never attempted socks before and that wool looks fab!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm counting on the fact that I've got tiny feet to get me finishing that first one!
