My First Pair of Socks


I have been putting off knitting socks for years but bought some yarn at This is Knit in Blackrock just before Christmas "Brown Sheep, Wildfoote Luxury Sock Yarn" and finally finished my first pair of socks thanks to some help from my sister when it came to shaping the heel and toe.

The pattern is from "Knitting Circles Around Socks" and is called Anne's Magic Socks. Loved the yarn and pattern and used approximately 1.5 skeins and hey presto - my first socks.

They look so terrific ! You're far, far braver than I, as I'm completely scared off by socks and things that need complicated turning and doobie-dads .. see, I don't even know what it's all called. :)

Hope you're keeping well, thinking of you.
