Socks


I have been knitting off and on since I was eleven years old. I have always found it to be a past time that relaxes, challenges, frustrates, exhilerates and never bores.
For decades, I believed socks were difficult to knit; I was wrong. I can easily do a pair every other day even when busy out in the garden during the day.
Pictured here is a selection six adult and one baby sized socks. They range from a very basic sock pattern in which you let the self striping yarn add the interest to the off white lace socks.
Yarn has advanced so much over the past decade and the designers are coming up with all the new self striping or self patterning yarns which makes even a novice knitter come off looking like a pro.
