Work In Progress Wednesday - October 5, 2016

It's my first work in progress Wednesday since March and this is a good one. While I have about 6 projects on the needles currently, this week I have been working exclusively on one project. I am knitting my first ever pair of socks!! I have been knitting for almost 9 years now and I have been scared up until now to try socks. I have two pairs of hand knit socks that my friends have knit for me, but I want more. So I figured now was the time to learn, with the encouragement of my good knitting friend Sara, I cast on my first sock this past weekend and I finished the first one in three days! It was so much easier then I thought it would be! I stated out with a simple stockinette sock pattern that I found on the Knit Picks website (Go Your Own Way Socks by Stacey Winklepleck). I am knitting the socks using Knitters Pride double pointed needles. I did get a slight ladder in the sock, so I think next time I knit a different pair of socks I will attempt to knit them on two circular needles. I am using a lovely skein of hand dyed Sparkle Sock Yarn from Bohoknitterchic that I have had since 2013. My feet are tiny so I plan on knitting a second pair of socks with this skein for my daughter. Here is my first ever sock!
