I’ve been a little derelict lately about both the knitting and the blogging of the knitting. Today I unpacked the needle I was looking for, which allowed me to FINALLY finish grafting the toe of the second sock of my first ever pair of socks.
LOOK! I MADE SOCKS!
TWO OF THEM!
I don’t think I’ve ever photographed my feet before. It’s not as easy as it looks.
By the way, if you ever need simple yet detailed instructions on how to do the Kitchener Stitch, they’re right here on Socknitters.com.
Congrats on your first pair of socks! I did my first ever pair in January, and now I think I am addicted to making socks…I am working on my 6th and 7th pair (3 of the pairs and 1 of the current ones are children’s though, so they go faster than adult ones).
Shelley – wow, you’re a real sockomaniac! I just keep buying sock yarn. Four more balls yesterday. Now I realize the gauge of the yarn won’t work for any of the patterns I have, so I wasn’t able to start my new socks without doing more math than I could wrap my head around in knitting group today. Instead I just spent the time rolling skeins of my clapotis yarn into balls. (I need stitch markers before I can start the clapotis, so that’s not started either…)
