Sock craziness...

I love making socks. I do. But maybe it was just a little ambitious to run out to buy sock yarn for everyone for Christmas presents. On the other hand, I have it, so I can make them throughout the year and make next year the sock Christmas, right? Which of course leads to the question "what do I give them this year?"

There they are, my first pair of socks!

First socks are done!

I challenged myself. I had tiny thin yarn, itty bitty double pointed needles, and a whole book of instructions. Socks. They can be very intimidating.

I made a pair! I didn't give up. I didn't freak out when I got to the heel flap, or turning the heel, or rejoining all the stitches in the round....or even at the kitchener stitches at the end to close the toe. As soon as I figure out how, I'll put a picture up.

But now I have to go plan the next pair of socks!

Welcome!

I know there are a billion blogs around, and this one won't be different, or even really special, but it's a place where I can talk about my yarn obsessions, and my adventures in fiber... and somewhere there might be someone out there who cares. Goodness knows my family is sick of hearing about it.

So grab a seat, and your hooks and needles and join me on my adventures.
