Took my first class

I took my first knitting class on Friday. It was learning to knit from the cuff down. Having never done anything other than dish clothes I was not use to the whole dpn thing and keeping track of four at once. Ugh but once I got home and didn't have the pressure of a teacher standing over my should I found it very relaxing.

Here is my first ever sock. It is soooooo cute. The second sox is almost done. The girls have decided this will go to their band teacher who is due to give birth soon to a little girl. I figure one more set before I try an adult sox.



Next week I lear toe up. It will be interesting to see the difference.

Does my leg count as a design wall for knitting. Check out what everyone else is up to over at Judy's site for Design Wall Monday.

A New Project

I have decided to give something new a try. Not a new quilt design but something completely different. I am going to try knitting socks. I can do a very simple cast on and a basic knit stitch and that is it. But while looking at yarn stores I noticed the one down the street from me(even closer than the quilt shop) Was having a class on socks so I figured it was meant to be.

I was advised that I would love knitting socks toe up so that is what I signed up for BUT when I got to the shop to buy my supplies they strongly recommended that I learn cuff down first. Sigh what to do which way to go? After thinking long and hard. At least ten minutes or the time it took me to get home I made my decision. I am now signed up for two sock classes. I will learn cuff down this Friday night and Toe up on the 20th. Yea I am very excited about this. My husband just rolls his eyes at me and wonders where he found me.

Here are my supplies I can't wait to start using them!
