WIP 1/16

I always have a pair of socks in progress. I am not much of a knitter, but I like working on them. It took me. Years to learn how to make them and I still make so many mistakes that it is unbelievable. My kids always like it when I make them a pair since it is so infrequent.

I started this pair a few weeks ago and goodness only knows when it will be done. Maybe I can get them done in the first half of the year and start one another. I think I have enough yarn to make 80 pair by now. I would say I'm more of a yarn collector than a knitter.

I always have socks on the needles too. And I am definitely a collector of yarn but I am also an avid knitter! I'm a newbie quilter but that doesn't stop me from also having a collection of fabric!

I'm a crocheter, but mostly a quilter and fabric collector. I love your pretty pink and grey socks though, they look warm and inviting!

I also collect yarn, and never know what to do with it. Maybe socks are the answer! Thanks for the inspiration.

The great thing about knitting socks is that it can be picked up and put down at anytime. Socks are forgiving and don't mind being stalled; they don't judge.

I like the design the yarn is creating - very pretty color, too.

I've done a lot of knitting but never attempted socks..I love the pretty pink and grey combination. whatever craft I'm working on always turns into a huge collection.

I love hand knit socks too. I just finished a pair for my husband so I guess it's time to start another pair.
