Socks, Take One



Beautiful, aren't they? Nevermind that they're too big - despite the fact that they measured what they were supposed to for my foot size, or that I have already snapped one set of size 1 dpn because I knit too tightly. (Someone said this was supposed to be relaxing. We're working on that.) That's 5 stitches/inch on size 7's!

They are the most beautiful things in the world to me right now. They are my pass to River Knits' Sock Club (you have to knit one to "get in"), and they have introduced me to sock crack. Sock Crack is a horribly addictive drug, let me tell you. It's why I'm here. The rest of my life? That's for another blog. This is actually my second project (the first was a pretty cool, chunky, 6' scarf with Reynolds Smile yarn [Color: 205] - gorgeous variegated bulky stuff), but I think my journey begins with socks. I have been knitting for officially 1 month and 8 days, and I am hopelessly hooked.

So here I am. And here are my socks.
