Socks!

Near enough every one of us wears them! Socks are just the greatest invention every to be on my knitting needles! I can’t seem to get enough of them. I love making all different colours of ankle socks that make wearing my walking boots a joy!

I started knitting socks 4 years ago when I was challenged to do something out of my comfort zone because I needed something small to do when I was on a cruise!

The challenge was accepted and I knit a great pair of socks for my Son. He still wears them to this day and he wants to learn the art of using dpn’s just like me! At 15 an autistic it would be a little bit tricky for him to do I think?

After the first pair I decided to make another, this time I understood the pattern and made them within a few days. So then a 3rd was cast on.

Last year after having made a few socks for both myself and my son, I decided to take the leap of asking my own patterns. It was quite interesting trying to work out how to fit a pattern into the correct amount of stitches. Eventually I managed it and my first pattern was born. The dragonfly!

I’m ever so proud of these socks and found it was the simplest of patterns to learn to grasp.

Since then I’ve been able to make a few other patterns. I hope for them to be published into a book someday. Take a look at the pictures below of all the other patterns I’ve completed.
