slow on the uptake...


i have watched in awe the many clever women who knit the most beautiful socks, but never had the courage to try them...they must be difficult mustn't they..with all that toe up, turning, splitting heels stitches, etc..
no courage until now...
now that i have no portable craft project on the go, to do on those long car trips or sitting bored in front of the tv at night, i though i would try my hand at socks....i am scared, i don't like the look of those incy wincy sticks, but as mr other half said yesterday, winter is nearly over so they will be ready for 2010...that takes the pressure off doesn't it!!!
wish me luck..

Good Luck! There is nothing quite like knitting your first pair of socks. Seeing how all those words and strings turn themselves into an actual sock with the help of your hands, it's pretty amazing.

You can do it! Once you have done one you will wonder why you didn't try it sooner. That yarn looks lovely. Are you always amazed at the lack of yarn and quiltiness etc in Albany?

Me too! I have only knitted part of a sock. =( Maybe this will be the year for a pair of socks. I have made a pair of mittens, but socks are scary!!!
