    One down 3 months ago

    One to go. They are for my daughter, and she hates matched socks, so I am knitting them as “coordinates” instead of “mates”.



    Knitting again 6 months ago

    My mom has taught me how to knit about a billion times, and I keep forgetting. We went skiing this weekend and on the way there (5 hours in the car) she taught me again. So right now I’m working on a scarf, so I remember what to do. Once I run out of this yarn, I’m going to get more and start making socks.

    I want to have the socks finished by the end of January, so I can actually wear them before it starts looking like spring.

    I know I can do this, it’ll just take the time and experience.

    Oh socks... 14 months ago

    So far, I’ve only been able to knit one sock at a time and never finished a pair! I know there is a way to knit two at once, but I haven’t had the guts to try just yet! I’m working on a sock from Charmed Knits, but not in the Potter colors yet. I thought I’d try it in one color before I try the Potter colors. Also…because I don’t know how to change colors yet. I think I’ll add that to my list of things to do!



    And... 14 months ago

    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!



    on my knitting machine 16 months ago

    I have two knitting machines that have produced very little since I got them. It’s a shame! I want to get started by knitting a pair of socks. Then I’ll tackle other projects.
