Sock Knitting
I’ve decided (probably against my better judgement) to have another go at kntting socks. You see, I just love all the different patterned sock wool out there, and yet I haven’t really managed to find too many non-sock patterns that I like. There’s only so many scarves you need, and I had a go at one of the baby cardigans, but it was growing so quickly, I got fed up.
So. I’m having a go at ankle socks. That way, if my tension is way off, I haven’t wasted too much time and effort. I’m also having another go at short row heels, because I really don’t like the way flappy heels look. I did actually manage OK with these last time I tried – my knit side was better than my purl side, but I’m sure that will improve with practice.
Unfortunately I’ve managed to cast on 3 times and made a mess of things so far. So I’ll have another go after lunch when I’m a bit more with it, and see what happens. I’d love to take a photo of my new sock wool, but we’re having issues with the digital camera – I think we’ve broken the batteries by overcharging them!
