I love to knit! I knit to relax, so my patterns are primarily simple, easy knits. I do much of my knitting in the car while I travel or while I'm waiting. I love that I can use my idle moments to create something both useful and beautiful! (working with my hands, as directed in 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12)
Well, here we go! The first of (hopefully) 26 pairs of socks to be completed this year! I'm quite pleased that I managed to complete these before casting on for "B"! This free pattern knitted up very quickly, and look great! They are for my mother-in-law for Christmas, so I hope she likes them. The lacy holes should help the socks breathe well.
I've joined a challenge this year - to knit socks through the alphabet! The group is on Ravelry. I've had a real lack of focus with knitting lately, but lots of sock yarn in my stash, so I think this will be the perfect way to get started early on some Christmas gifts, and use some of my treasured stash yarns. I am going to take the challenge one step further and attempt to use only FREE PATTERNS for my socks - tho that might prove to be more difficult as the more uncommon letters come up -- "Q" "X" and "Z"! Follow along with me as I progress, and see my success (or failure!)
Or, even better, why not JOIN me???? We can be crazy together!
