Thou shalt not covet thy in-laws wools...
There was some knitting. I am making my first pair of socks. Mainly because I needed a brain-awakening project but I didn't want to bother with winding up balls of wool, and this sock wool was already in a nice, neat ball and has been sitting in my stash making me feel bad for a while now. Time to use it. I got this far into the sock, and realised it looked bloody tiny! Will it ever fit my (un-manicured) foot?
Yes. It does. Very stretchy wool and stitch pattern. Socks are quite fun to make so far. Although I am ignoring the instructions for 'turning the heel' until I have to do it. 
Socks! You are brave! So far, so lovely. Really pretty colour. Susanne, in my knitting group, was making her first pair of socks last week too, but I think from the toe up - that's unusual, right?
ReplyDeleteYour weekend photos are lovely. Maybe next summer we can visit Katikati with you guys some time - I really liked it there and C's parents are so nice. Wow, that time we visited you there was the first time we met!
