I have been day dreaming about knitting socks all day long. I have not done any work today. Not good, need to work! I have been working on “We Call Them Pirates” hat all weekend but I can’t get socks off my mind. What is funny about this is I have never made any sock before. I have no idea what I am doing and I am trying to learn too many things at once. I LOVE IT!!! I am taking it all in but I should slow down and really learn.
What I have taught myself about knitting socks:1) The Magic
Loop (Two at a time, toe-up)2) The Turkish cast on (Toe-up)3) The figure 8 cast on (Toe-up)
I found this very helpful She has a great blog.
Now this is where the problem begins. I have been searching for the best sock to start with and I have found a number of them and now I want to knit them all at the same time. OVERLOADED with GREAT sock patterns! I want something challenging because I get board really, really fast. By the end of tonight I am going to pick a pattern and start working on it. I think socks might be my thing, we will see.
Sorry about not having any pictures yet. I don’t have a camera and so that means I have to rely on friends.
I wish i could help you, but I find the more socks i finish, the more socks I want to knit.
The list in my brain is pretty long and keeps getting longer!
