This was an add-on item to my list but it does fall under my goal of improving my knitting skills. Okay, that's all for this week. I'm going to take a long nap and hopefully I will finish my second sock soon.

YOP update
I'm feeling really, really, REALLY tired today so I'm going to make a quick post. Since last week everyone was posting about knitting socks (or most everyone) I decided to give it a try. I made a simple pair of socks once before with a friends help (6 years ago) but I didn't remember anything. I really felt like I was learning for the first time as I made the first sock. I decided to use the pattern Easy Peasy Socks for First-Timers which uses worsted weight yarn. I found some self patterning yarn in my stash that I wanted to use. I'm really glad Diannamcheck from Ravelry was able to help me with a question I had so I could keep going. I finished the first sock and I'm ready to start the gusset on the second.

Yay for socks!!! I'm glad I could help you along. I LOVE the colors on that yarn!! After you are all rested up, you can get the second one done and have an awesome pair!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sock! Rest up - the second will be easy peasy!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, you've knitted a sock. It's still in my 'too-hard' basket. Yours looks great, and such fabulous self-patterning yarn. I have saved the link to the pattern for such a time I feel less daunted by the word 'socks'.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love the pattern it's made. Can't wait to see sock #2.
ReplyDeleteThe sock is great and what a smart move to use self patterning yarn for it. Love doing socks since they are so portable. Congrats on the improved knitting skill.
ReplyDeleteHurrah for a new skill, it looks great as well - well done
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and it was a skills improvement project, very nice.
ReplyDeleteThat sock is beautiful! If I ever get around to knitting a sock I hope Dianna is there for me. ;^)
ReplyDeleteWell done on the sock, hope you feel better after a rest.
