Sock knitting!

After packing away all my knitting supplies to be shipped to the US, I had an overwhelming urge to have a go at knitting some socks! I know, like I have nothing better to be doing with my time right now… After browsing Ravelry I decided on this pattern from Knitty as it got great reviews as a good first sock pattern, plus it is customizable to fit my weird shaped feet! After much deliberation I picked out some yummy yarn from Get Knitted (Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock Multi in Flamingo Stripe) and some circular needles (all of mine are packed away, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t have any this small – 2.25mm! Hope they won’t be too fiddly!) I’m looking forward to getting started with them soon! Ravelry is a great site for knitters – I joined over a year ago but hadn’t really explored it until now – it has a huge database of pretty much every pattern out there, whether online or in a book, and you can see other people who are knitting the same pattern, what yarn they are using, photos, comments etc. Here is my profile if anyone is on there, feel free to add me as a friend :)

    Added you! I love Ravelry, such a great community for knitters, crocheters, dyers and spinners! Easy to loose time on there too. There are so many super kind people who publish their patterns for free, its amazing :)

    Looking forward to seeing that yarn knit up! 2.25mm may seem fiddly at first, but you’ll be amazed at how fast it grows and how nicely items knit up!
