First pair of socks




So I finished my first pair of socks today! I still don't think I did the graft on them quite right, but overall, I'm pleased with them. If anyone from my family happens by this site, know that this is probably what you're going to be getting for Christmas this year! I'll probably use some nicer yarn than I did for my first pair (this is just some cheap acrylic that I had around here), but just this is probably it! I'm also going to tackle a pair of wristies, as long as I can find an easy pattern that doesn't have lots of cabling in it. That's it!

Anyway, enjoy the pics. This was the first thing I've knitted that was beyond a simple knitted scarf. I'm excited that they look like socks! ;-D

Oh my goodness - I love the socks! Those are great! Isabella still loves the blanket you made her. Right now she is really into blankets - so it is great! Again - thank you!

Girl, if you got into making the hats and cocoons and stuff that are popular as photo props, like these: http://www.etsy.com/listing/55557714/ready-to-ship-hammock-and-hanging-pod?ref=sr_gallery_5&ga_search_query=photography+prop&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=&order=&includes[0]=tags&includes[1]=title I could sell them to my photography friends like hotcakes!

awesome! were did you get this pattern for these socks? I would like to make a pair for my toddler, and can you crochet them or do you have to knit them?
