knit a pair of socks

I’ve already got started on another pair. I love the simple satisfaction and they make great TV knitting.

This is just a simple sock pattern but I am so happy with how they turned out, and I am pleased with myself for sticking with it and figuring the whole thing out. I understand a lot more about knitting now, I can use DPNs and I’ve got to grips with shaping and decreasing. I even got the heels right on the first go!

So I’ve finally caught up with the sock knitting craze and learned how to use DPNs and turn a heel. I finished making my first sock yesterday and proudly wore it round the house all evening. It is so much more simple than I imagined, and I can see why people say it is so addictive. I’ve cast on for my second sock now so I should have a pair soon. I love it!
