learn to knit socks

Haven’t gotten to knitting socks yet, but I’m crocheting a pair right now. They’re a little thicker than they would be if I had knit them, but that means they’ll be nice and cozy. I can’t wait until they’re finished so I can show them off!

So I can knit, and I can purl. This weekend I may try to cable. At this rate, I’ll progress to socks by next winter, I hope I hope I hope. I doubt they’ll be GOOD socks, but that’s okay. No where in the goal does it say I need to learn to knit GOOD socks. Just socks.

Currently there are three people in my knitting group working on socks. And they’re beautiful, colorful, cozy socks, too. I’m extremely envious. But one day, they will teach me. And it will be good.

I need to learn to knit first, but once I get that down, I know several people who are talented enough to knit socks and I’m hoping they are good teachers as well. I don’t like wearing socks, but since I have to during the colder New England months, I’d rather have stylish ones, and what’s more stylish than choosing your own colors and pattern?

This will be a good project for later in the year, I think.
