I finally totally finished my socks. I blocked them and everything.
I’m pretty proud.
MY socks!!
Of course *I* know a few mistakes, but whatever. … they’re pretty good for my first attempt. I was scared of the double-pointed needles (that’s DPN, for those in the know), but I’m not as intimidated by them now.
I’m really hoping that I get to continue to make stuff. Maybe I’ll even make stuff for other people! (It’s hard to make stuff for others, though, when they may not realize the labor that goes into it. … In fact, “Stitch n Bitch” says not to make things for a significant other (non-spouse) because that pretty much assures you’ll break up… Murphey’s Law and all).
Anyway, as I was saying. I really want someone else to make stuff for. Even if I have to wait a while. It’ll give me time to practice and such.

They are beautiful! You should be proud of yourself (as I know you are). In fact, I think you should showcase them at Green’s wedding. Wear them down the aisle. They’ll look great with our flapper dresses

Holy cow! You actually knitted those!?! Needless to say, I’m impressed!
