TALKING TO MY KNITTING


Thank you, dear, sweet sock, for bringing me such pleasure. I only thought that you would be difficult for me. You were sassy just once or twice along the way, but were so sorry that with just a little bit of coaxing you straightened right up and in no time at all we were done. How happy I am with everything in the end, you are such a darling.


This was my first attempt at sock making. At first I felt intimidated by those four little needles, but was pleasantly suprised at the ease in creating this. I am working on the second sock, to the set, and feel completely encouraged and confident. I found this simple, basic ribbed pattern by Wise Hilda Knits, with easy to follow instructions. Lions Brand Wool Ease is the yarn I used, which made a thick, heavy sock. Great for our Pacific North West winters.
