I did it! 21 months ago

I finally got my first pair of socks done! I can hardly wait to get some more sock yarn!



begun 22 months ago

I’ve got the first sock started and haven’t managed to mess it up this time (I’ve done that a few times already). Here’s hoping it keeps going well.



Forever 2 years ago

That’s how long this one seems to be taking me. I got a book in the mail today from Interweave Press called Favorite Socks. It’s got 25 beautiful patterns in it! Ahhh, inspiration!



Two weeks! 3 years ago

And I haven’t gotten started on this again! Things have been busy and the days haven’t been my own. I wish I could sneak my yarn to work, but I think they’d notice.



Almost 3 years ago

Well, I got it going on three needles (four counting the working one) and then realized that between two of the needles is a loop that should have been tightened more. Darn.



A different approach 3 years ago

I gave up on that first pattern. It was off the label of the yarn and while that’s a nice basic pattern, when you’re trying to learn these things, it’s nice to have something to refer to. So! I went looking for sock how-to on the net and I found this! http://www.royea.net/sockdemo1.html What a wonderful thing for Terri to do, putting this all together for people like me. I’ve got to write and thank her.



Beginning 3 years ago

I’m working on a basic pattern with five size 2 needles. Argh! This is tricksy.
