Swarm of Socks

Author: Liz / Labels: , ,

Ever since a friend of mine said she wanted to learn how to knit and that her goal was to be able to knit socks I have been on a sock frenzy. It started with the fact that it's very hard to teach someone if you only have an idea how to do it. I thought to myself that I should make a couple pair of socks to make sure that I know what to tell her. Well, that just snowballed... so here are the latest additions:I think I've latched on to these for 2 reasons:

  1. They're very portable. It can be hard to carry a sweater or afghan in a purse. (Unless, it's a mammoth mommy purse!)
  2. They satisfy my project ADD. I have this little problem of always wanting to start projects and not finish them. These are small and it's easy to see the end...AND you get to start something more often!!
  3. (okay 3 reasons) They make keeping your feet warm fun! I know this almost sounds like a PSA but...my feet are cold A LOT. To put on a nice woolly, colorful, fun pair of socks is so much more satisfying then the thick ones you can buy!
I will be leaving the socks for a while though. I need a break and it's now winter which means I now need bigger projects to keep me warm while I knit!

And on a totally unrelated topic:
GO BUCKS!!! BEAT M*CH*G#N!
I would be remiss if I didn't cheer on my team this morning.
Let's go Scarlett & Grey!
