Yes… my FIRST SOCK I EVER DID KNIT!

I’m so proud of myself. A real honest to gosh sock. I have to do the other one, but still, getting one done and it fits and is wearable and all that, pretty cool.

It’s a little long… but it’s so warm and comfy cozy… just love it. Been walking around with it on and yes, I can tell you with a doubt that it’s much warmer than a normal old sock. Can’t wait to finish the other one.

I have some purple wool that I want to make another pair, but just refine the pattern a teeny bit. Not quite as long and a little snugger. This one was a total of 35 stitches on a # 8 circular bamboo needle. WIth a alpaca blend wool. I think 30 stitches or maybe even 25 would have been just fine. I’m still learning how to gauge your stitching and all, it’s kinda new and experimental to me still. But I love it. I know I don’t have the patience to do really complicated patterns but yet, this is simple and fun. I really like the calming effect that just sitting and knitting produces. It’s hard to explain. You don’t have to think too hard, you can just kind of enjoy the process. And then you get a warm snuggly thing for your foot or head or weasel.

Yes, even ferrets love stuff you knit.
