It’s not that I haven’t been knitting much lately, it’s just that everything I’ve been working on seems to be taking approximately a million years. Like this sock.
It’s a very basic little sock: toe-up, slip stitch heel, and then a million miles of ribbing. I kept it simple of purpose because it was my first toe-up sock, but that made it very dull to knit, and very time-consuming.
And now I have to knit another one.
The second sock does have its toe already, but I’m not quite sure I can face all the plain knitting and endless ribbing all over again. Now I understand why people knit fancy lacy socks – to alleviate the boredom of knitting round and round and round and round and round…
Mind you, a very good friend of mine has expressed an interest in receiving a pair of extremely pink hand-knitted socks for Christmas. I wonder whether I can get them finished in time?
