My First Socks

An article by Rachel    Comments Off

At this moment, I’m rather pleased with myself. I’ve successfully finished my first pair of hand knitted socks.

Things I like about them:

• I completed both socks.
• The socks match. I mean they are both the same size.
• I love the yarn, Lorna’s Laces Shepard Yarn

Things I don’t like about them:

• The vargiated colors pooled.
• They are a little baggy in the instep.

I plan on making more socks. Next time, I going to use either a solid color or self-striping yarn. I don’t want to be distracted by misbehaving vargiated yarn. I’m considering following these instructions at knitty.com. I want a good fit around the instep. On the other hand, it is summertime. Anklets made out of Fixation sound awfully tempting.

So many projects, so little time. Really, I should start to think about Christmas. I have a niece and nephew that would love Gryffindor Scarves.
