Knitting Socks

[itsybitsy]

I want have a go at knitting my own, seeing as Lil, rather unsportingly, told me to eff off when I asked her to knit me some pink ones...

I can knit - but I'm very, very rusty and am not an 'advanced' knitter. So, I basically haven't got a clue. Any advice? Where to start?

Would it be that much of an interruption to go to the proper toilet...

Think Itsy's wee bottle is of the red alcoholic variety Tom She's awfy quiet.. maybe she's finishing the first sock

Mebbe someone told her to....put a sock in it.....


Ithankyah...

Hmmm...red is okay. White is better. Fizzy is best.

How far have you got with the sock ?

I haven't even bought needles yet! There's a wool shop near to work but I won't have chance to get there until next week. I'm hoping to have a pair finished before Christmas. That may be a bit optimistic, however...

I'll send you a photo. I'm saying it's still there - but I haven't been in for a few years so it may have turned into another cafe bar!!!
