My First Socks

I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I have been knitting. In fact, just last night I finished my very first pair of socks. We won't talk about how long it took me to finish these, or the fact that I broke a needle in half during the process, or that in the end they didn't fit me. Instead, I'll just relish on the fact that I KNIT SOCKS.

Pattern: Plain stockinette pattern found in Getting Started Knitting Socks by Ann Budd
Yarn: Lovesticks Sock Yarn in Socialite colorway
Needles: Chiagoo Size 1 (2.25mm) dpns

When I first started knitting I didn't understand some knitters fascination with socks. I didn't "get" it. While I haven't been converted into an avid sock knitter, I understand just a bit more why they enjoy knitting them.

I won't be rushing to knit another pair quite yet, but I do know that another pair (or two) is in the future. In fact, I have some lofty sock aspirations.


For now, I'll just enjoy looking at them and enjoy giving them away to someone who will appreciate my first socks.
