That's right; scarves and hats and blankets are great, but they are, in essence, just rectangles and squares. I have decided to CHALLENGE MYSELF. Sometimes I am so stupid.
So obviously, me being me, I am not going to move slowly in a new direction; I am totally the kind of person who wants to learn to swim by jumping in the deep end of the pool, or some other hackneyed cliche explanation.
I decided to make myself some socks. REAL socks. I should have thought that through.
I went to the Local Yarn Shop (and I use that description very loosely, as it takes just about an hour to get there. I guess, in my case, it should just be Yarn Shop) and the owner there, Beth, got me started.
Y'all, there I was, knitting my little heart out, for almost four hours. Here's what I got done:
That is really a penny used to denote size. In four hours, I knit one cent worth of sock. I feel very frustrated at the slow rate, and also I am worried about getting it on my foot. Actually, I probably am not going to have to worry about that for a long, long time.
