Well we had this mad notion at my
Wednesday night group that we hold in the back room of our local wool shop , Stitching Time in Hamilton (
http://stitchingtimehamilton.blogspot.com/ ) That we would learn to knit socks , Janice , Jennifer and I thought this would be fun . we picked our wools got our
foreign looking needles and were ready to go.
Under the eagle eye of Nan we waited for our instructions ............................
luckily Nan knows us well and we were handed step by step instructions for Part 1 , well that was fun , how to cast on 60
stitches over 3 needles and knit round
lol .....what a tangle but then we were off ..................
For the next week we had our homework to knit down so we would be ready to turn the heel ......... so as I
couldn't put it down by the Saturday morning I had finished and was getting ratty as I
couldn't do anymore ...... but I was better than Janice she was dreaming about knitting socks.
So part 2 instructions were handed out after Nan gave a small demonstration and I was off the sock addiction had got a hold of me I sat there listening to the
conversation but had to keep the sock going got to the end of part " I had created the heel flap and manged to turn the heel . I was on the home straight , and my task was to knit towards the toe ,
luckily Nan said she would send me the final instalment by email or I think I would have gone mad ................................
Email arrived Tuesday evening and I studied it , but not
enough time to do it ....
argghhhhhh but
luckily had a half day off work next day , came home , got all my supplies ready ( coffee and chocolate ) and proceeded to complete my first sock .... so excited that I had
succeeded called Nan
mins before the shop closed to tell her of my excitement.
But I had been warned about the new disease the second sock syndrome so not to be beat by this I immediately started the second sock and I hope for this to be completed today while I sit out in the sun.
Also got my next sock project all ready to start .................................... try and stop me
*************UPDATE****************
socks are finished
