So let's get on with it shall we?
This is the first pair of socks that I have knitted. They turned out pretty well but I wish I had reinforced the toe and they are a little too big for me. Not bad though for a first effort. My husband took better pictures of them but I had to pick this one because you can see our dog Rumi in the background.
So this my first real pair of socks! They are knit with Cascade Fixation on size 3 needles. Bellow is a picture of them drying on the line after their first machine washing.
Although I have made many hats and scarves, there is a whole new kind of delight that I can't quite describe when I creep up my pant leg to peek at socks that I know I made myself. I have always loved owning fun socks so maybe it is just extra fun to have funky socks and to know that I made them myself. I have the first sock of a pair for Gabriel done and I am working on the second so keep an eye out for those in a few days.
