I've been a knitter for a few years now, but I have yet to actually finish a project. Remember that sweater I posted on here a few months back? I started it about five years ago and it's still sitting on a shelf waiting for the sleeves to be sewn together. Needless to say, I have a little trouble committing to projects, so last fall I decided to start knitting smaller projects: socks! Seems perfect, right? I figured compared to my 5-year sweater endeavor, a sock would come together in no time.
Around October I started working on a pair of socks as a Christmas gift for my brother. I went on a little yarn shopping spree at Webb's, thinking I would knit socks for practically everyone in my family for Christmas. Ha! That was a funny thought, Nina. By the time December snuck up on me I was rushing around buying gifts, since I was clearly not going to be giving anyone socks this year. I carried Toby's half-finished sock to our holiday celebration and told Toby he would get a pair of socks for next Christmas.
It looks like that more realistic goal will actually happen. I just finished the first sock and I'm getting started on the second one! Seeing as I'm currently unemployed, I have a lot of time for knitting.
The finished sock! Note: I'm modeling the sock on my own foot, but it fits much better on Toby's foot, for which it is intended.
