Got It!

I got home and found SPRING 2006 Interweave KNITS magazine welcoming me! Inside, a good pattern for lacy socks. "Simply Lovely Lace Socks" by Karen Baumer. So I read it, especially the heel part. Much better instructions. I knit it, frogged it, got it! Much better instructions.

I am now building the gusset.

This sock is progressing at a good speed. I hope to be casting on for my second sock tomorrow evening.

So how hard are socks? Really?

Given that I've a) only mastered knitting and purling (and not in a terribly technically-correct manner), b) haven't learned to use dpns or a circular needle, and c) have very little time to knit without the almost-4yr old or the 2yr old "helping", I don't see me learning anytime soon.

LOL Maybe I should just learn to crochet..

So many hobbies, so little time to perfect any one of them..

I'll have photos for you on Monday, hopefully the completed sock AND a casted-on for the pair.

Hi,
I read on your blog that you are knitting the Simply Lovely Lace Socks. I am also going to be knitting these just as soon as the yarn comes in the post.

I have never knitted lace before, so I though why not start a small Knit-A-Long. If you are interested in sharing your experience, feel free to stop by my blog, or you can visit the group at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lovelykal/
