(click, click) knitting away













Aspromised,
I have a photo of the little green baby hat that I made, salvaging a sock project that went bad. I also have photos of another knitting project, a mottled blue sock. I read the instructions. Reread them. I researched the art of knitting socks on the internet. I thought I was covered.
Uh...no.

It looks like the sock will turn out okay for a first sock-but I have to tell you, I didn't think that at first. Well, maybe when I was doing the easy cuff, but when I got to the heel flap, the whites of my eyes were beginning to show. By the time I got to turning the heel, I was definitely concerned.

Anyway, I made it through. Admittedly, it is a bit lumpy, but it's a sock! Well, almost, I have to get the toe in first. As a young girl, I always wanted to knit socks, an impossible feat in my eyes.

So for me, this sock is a nice surprise.
