Taking on the Challenge!

I've been wanting to learn how to knit socks. So I began on Sunday. Just documenting the details here... Trish, from Bloomin' Knitiot, gave me Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles: a Manual of Elegant Knitting Techniques and Patterns: Cat Bordhi for Christmas last year. I've waited till I could focus on the challenge of knitting this summer. I bought Plymouth Happy Feet shown below:
and size 1 needles (Options+Harmony+Wood+Fixed+Circular+Knitting+Needles+from+KnitPicks.com):

I'll update with the progress soon!

Yay! You're knitting socks! I'm so happy!

I almost bought that exact color of yarn when I was in Manistee last week. I actually didn't buy a "sock yarn souvenir" of our trip like I normally do. That would have been funny if I bought that same yarn!

Carry on, and let me know if you get stuck! Have fun!

Good luck and you will have to show us the finish product. I haven't knitted since Spring but will try again in the Fall but I have been making jewelry again. I know I have too many hobbies. LOL
