I learned to knit socks on the magic loop

 




It took forever to learn to knit at my old age but I finally figured it out and have knitted five pair so far. They are nice and thick to get me through this winter in Maine. More like slipper socks for the around the house but they look really cute with my birkenstocks. I have yet to knit the perfect sock...so disturbing but they are cute and totally wearable.

I didn't use sock yarn because I wanted 100% cotton and could only find worsted weight. Now that I actually know what I am doing I will do some more shopping for yarn.

Going to make a flannel shirt out of the purple with the green as a contrast for inside the cuffs. It was a happy accident that I already have some socks to match!

So sick of facebook and know I should start an instagram, Does anyone even read blogs anymore?
