learn to knit socks

The knitting group at work has decided to all knit socks for their next project, but I haven’t finished my sweater yet, and I have two whole sleeves to knit! I think I’m falling behind. I got to this complicated spot in the pattern and kept making a mistake, ripping it out, trying it again,and making a mistake again. Plus, this part is mohair, so it’s really tangly to rip out! It’s frustrating.

I’ve joined a knitting club at work and we get together and knit once a week, but it really has turned into a stich and bitch, and I don’t really like all the gossiping they’re doing.

Knitting socks. What would this mean? It would mean that I would have warmer feet, and so would everybody else who lives with me. We would also have to buy bigger shoes, since hand-knitted socks are bulky, and that would probably lead to fewer foot troubles and warmer, warmer feet!
Plus they would not be made in China, Mauritania, Bangladesh, Thailand or any other country where people eke out a living making socks for fat cats in other countries.
