One of my crafty resolutions for this year was to knit a pair of socks. And lo & behold, I’ve done it.
These were really quite easy to do. They weren’t knitted in the round so had to be sewn up so will mainly wear indoors when it’s chilly. I used the sock pattern from ‘Love…Knitting‘ By Val Pierce. I used Patons Colour Works Aran wool as I had received some from my OH’s mum for Christmas. I love the way the wool gives a graduated colour. Each sock used almost all a 50g ball.
I now want to knit a pair of socks in the round so have found a pattern, bought new DPN’s and am ready to start, once I’ve completed two mini-projects!
Have you knitted socks? What are your favourite patterns? x

Thanks! I was really nervous about making socks especially as so many patterns looked so complicated. That’s why I went for these ones on straight needles. It made the whole idea of knitting a heel so much easier to deal with!
Wow, I love that blue! I’m still too scared to knit socks despite everyone’s assurances that they are easy so bow before your bravery 🙂
