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
