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.


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.

  3. Oh 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'.
