Doing the Happy Dance!
Well, I did it. I finished my first pair of handmade knitted socks. I decided about 8 weeks ago that I was going to take a knitting class that was going to challenge me… and boy oh boy was I challenged. At first I was like, how the heck am I going to figure out how to use these tiny needles that really felt more like toothpicks than something I was going to use to make a sock?! But after some angry knitting moments (and a few naughty words) things started to click and soon I felt fine using my size 2 DPNs (double pointed needles). I’m so proud. This really wouldn’t have been possible without the help from my most excellent knitting teacher, Emily. You rock and you have the patience of a saint. Thank you. I’m doing the happy dance in my fabulous hand knitted pink socks!

Can you whip me up a pair before my fishing trip to Alaska. Your great-grandma H. would be so proud of your knitting skills!
Great job! Isn’t it so satisfying to put on that first pair of socks that YOU made?
