So as I sit here this morning perusing a bunch of Blogs that I follow, I came across Patchwork Times by Judy Laquidara. Judy asked for fellow Bloggers to post a picture of socks they have made or are currently knitting. Since I still haven’t managed to get into my sewing room and start the tote bag I need to make I decided I’d share my sock knitting with you.
So here it goes. Here’s the first pair I knitted.
These were made while taking a class to learn how to knit both socks at one time on one circular needle. My friends know that I am knitting challenged. I can knit but that’s about it, if I make a mistake I’m sunk and have to wait for one of my knitting friends to fix it for me. Since I make a fair amount of mistakes you can see how this makes knitting a very slow process.
The best part of knitting small projects is that I get to use this great basket.
I found it at the Orange County Market Place (the swap meet in Costa Mesa, CA). I love this basket, I’ve tried to find another one but unfortunately, no luck.
After I finally concurred my first pair of socks. It was time to attempt a second pair. So here they are still on the needles waiting to be finished. (I refuse to admit how long they’ve been this way 
.
These are ankle socks that are suppose to be for my granddaughter Natalia.
Maybe it’s time to go back and take another lesson so I can finish this pair and start another, LOL.
Enjoy,

So you like knitting both socks at once? Have you used DPN's? I learned on DPN's and have tried knitting one sock on a circ but never tried doing both at once.
ReplyDeleteI love the basket (of course). Keep looking for another one!
