Out of my big mouth comes these words, “why don’t you wear your wool socks I knitted for you?” These words were said to my hubby. It was a very cold day and he was complaining about cold feet. His answer—“one pair has big holes in the heel and toes, the other pair is dirty”.
Oh goodness gracious! I’m not going to darn holes in socks—I’d rather knit a pair! And that was that! I’m knitting a pair of wool socks for hubby!!
Of course, it takes some time to find a “manly” colored wool yarn in the stash—there are lots of blues, reds, etc but I have only one skein of each—could knit one of blue sock and the other with red—hubby isn’t into this sort of thing—heck, he wants everything the same way. I did find this brown--looks like I tried to use some other time--it's wound around the ball and a mess! I took some time to untangle--
Next--I find two circular needles--can't cast on! For some reason, I can not cast on right for knitting two socks as the same time on circular needles--I have a mental block. I must cast on four double pointed to get started, then I can transfer to circulars. I love knitting a pair at the same time--they come out the same length!
And we're off to knitting a pair of socks! Not sure I like this pattern--K 6, P2--but, I'm committed now--will NOT begin again!
