Starting socks!

[danuv]

I've begun my first pair of knitted socks using this excellent online sock tutorial. It's rather like knitting with toothpicks and sewing thread. Seems like it's going to take a very long time to knit a pair but maybe things will speed up once I get the rhythm of it a little better. The yarn I'm using is a very beautiful Japanese yarn that is much more delicate that what I've been using but at the same time also rougher and not as even so that knitting with it is a very different experience tactile wise. I wasn't really expecting that.

The girls enrolled in Girl Scouts on Friday. Rhiannon is a Jr. Girl Scout and Isadora is a Brownie. They're very excited about it and especially excited about buying the little uniforms. Isadora is certain that she'll be the cutest thing ever in hers and she probably will.

I've never tried socks before. Maybe I'll put it on my next 101 list. : )

I love your 101 list. Wish I had the determination for one. ;)
