Knitty New Socks

Ive not written on this blog for absolutely AGES....... as Ive been so addicted to learning how to knit socks.  Knitting has been a nice change from everything else in the arts and crafts world and I'm sure all of you know just sometimes you need to have a change of crafts or hobby so that you can recharge your batteries.
This week Ive got the horrible chesty cold, so didn't go to my knitting class that I usually go to on a Tuesday. Ive been going to a crafts shop in a village to have one to one knitting lessons with a fabulous lady who has been teaching me me how to knit socks.
For years I have been wanting to learn, but just could not find anyone to teach me.
I was so so thrilled when one lady was willing to take me on.
Each pair of socks that I have knitted on a pair of needles, are improving while I get the hang of knitting again.   A couple of weeks before Christmas I promised my Jim that I would knit him a couple of socks. Ive been learning to knit on two needles and now learning to knit on four.


I'm really enjoying this.  I have posted some more photos.

Good for you. I love the colourful yarn you used. Socks are something that I have not yet tried. Perhaps one day.
