I have completed my first sock (and also my first knitting project EVER!) and I am soooooo proud of myself. I’m about 1/2 way through with the 2nd to finish out the pair.
My family has been none-too-impressed with my knitting- UNTIL NOW!!! I showed them my sock! My teenaged daughter was genuinely shocked and said, “Put it on! OMG, I want a pair!!” Hubby’s interest was directed to Civil War re-enacting socks and we even did some research together in books he has.
My family is now officially on board with my knitting!
Congratulations! After I gave my mom her first pair of hand knit socks, she requested a pair for every day of the week because they are so much more comfortable. Sounds like you’ll have a long request list soon, too.
Congratulations! :woohoo: I just finished my first sock not long ago too! I know just how you feel! My family hasn’t been too impressed with my knitting too until they saw my completed sock and now I’m suddenly a knitting genius (to them)! :woot:
Well done…This will be your 1st of many pairs of socks… Sock knitting really is addictive I should know since last year I have knitted around 20 pairs!!!
