First Knit Socks!



I finally decided to knit socks. I've been knitting for a while, and recently finished knitting a couch blanket. But I've always wanted to try socks. Once or twice, I've started a cuff. But never got anywhere.

So, I got determined. Went on line, and found several Basic Instructions on how to knit socks. I signed up for several sock-knitting Yahoo groups (because when I want to know something about anything, I look for a yahoo group) and found a link in the First Time Socknitters KAL I group.

And now I can say I KNIT SOCKS! It took me three days to do the first one,
and I knit the second one in its entirety yesterday.


Since it was mostly a practice run, I just used cheap ($4 a skein) yarn from Joanns and I used #5 needles so I could see what I was doing. But here they are!
