As some of you may know, I’m a woman of many hobbies. I’ve found I have to have something to do to keep my hands busy sometimes. I have to have a different type of creativity besides writing and reading.
My current favorite (it changes on occasion) is knitting and I’m just tackling my first pair of socks. I’m not sure how many others out there that read my blog are knitters but be warned that I’ll probably bore the others on occasion with updates on the knitting front.
Right now I’m fascinated by socks. I ordered a Sock Knit Along from Knit Picks to play with but I had some needles and yarn from a prior order so I started a pair of socks.
These are in Knit Picks Felici yarn, Patina colorway. I’m knitting them on 2.5mm double-pointed needles and working toe-down. The pattern is more of a recipe from the book More Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch. It’s a four-stitch pattern called Embossed Stitch. This is sock #1 and I’ve been working on it, off and on, for two days.
I’ll get some pictures in the next day or so to show you all. Then you can run screaming away!
