Yay! As you can see from my proud photos, I have finished my very first pair of socks. This was from the Classy Slip-Up pattern in the book my daughter lent me, Knit Socks! by Betsy Lee McCarthy. I thoroughly enjoyed knitting them, once I got used to using five fine bamboo double pointed needles. What fun! Now I am looking at all kinds of other patterns, including some for gloves. No no no, you MUST get back to knitting your pink fuzzy jumper. I promise I will .... no more projects until it is finished.
Another first this last week was our attendance at the Sydney Sity Klickers group, which meets nearby. We had a most enjoyable afternoon looking at magazines, comparing knitting and stash sizes, confessing unfinished projects and horror stories about felted knitting. We'll definitely go again. Several of us have blogs, including this one, who had a link to the most fabulous shawl which is making me drool.
No no no. Step away from that pattern. Go towards your pink fuzzy jumper now....
Yay! Congratulations on the socks - they look great. You'll be hooked now, but there's nothing saying that you can't have two projects happening at once....
