Well I did it - thanks to the encouragement everyone gave me last Wednesday I cast on my first pair of socks! I decided to go with
Silver's Sock class as my first pattern since the directions look pretty thorough and I think I may need some hand holding. For the yarn, I'm using Serenity sock in pink (J helped pick out the color). I haven't gotten very far because I've had to cast on three times. The first time my cast on was way too tight and the second time I twisted the stitches. But this time seems to be going smoother and I've managed to get a few rows done.
My other WIP is the caterpillar. Look how close I am to finishing!
For other WIP Wednesday fun check out Tami's Amis
oooo goodie! the first bit is a bit fiddly, but you'll be off in no time! I look forward to seeing how these get on :)
ReplyDeleteHooray for socks! I hope you have a good first experience with them! I really love to use a German Twist Cast on for cuff-down socks, it gives a bit of stretch to the edge. :-D
ReplyDeleteThat caterpillar is adorable! <3
ReplyDeleteYay for socks! You can do it.
ReplyDeleteCute caterpillar, too.
