When I start knitting socks, it becomes an obsession and I just can't stop. I love, love making them, but I hardly ever wear them... But it doesn't matter because the act of making something is so much more gratifying then the end product. The process of turning a simple piece of string into something so much more is an addictive feeling. I don't know if I am the only one who feels this way, but I don't care.
I am still working through my Sock Knitting Master Class Challenge. I finished the Almondine socks in record time. They were really fun to knit and the pattern was great. I enjoy lace knitting and the pattern provided enough interest while keeping it simple enough that I didn't have to constantly look at the pattern to make sure I was doing the right thing.
I just couldn't manage to get a good shot of these socks...
Almondine Socks:
Yarn: Lion Brand Sock-Ease in Rock Candy
Needle Size: Size 1 (2.25mm) DPNs
Pattern Source: Sock Knitting Master Class
These socks were low on the difficulty scale, but they were so fun to knit. The elasticity provided by the knit and purl stitches make these socks a perfect project for a gift, since you don't need to worry about their fit.
Happy knitting!
