I learned how to knit when I was a little girl, although I never got the chance to practice much or to learn how to do anything more than to knit and purl. In my little heart, I always wanted to learn how to knit socks. Today, it is not a secret how much I love to make socks and virtually everyone I know owns a pair of socks from me.

This year I was pretty devoted to lace, and didn't make a pair of socks until late September. I made two pairs of socks, one for the lovely A and one for the lovely K, the two toastmasters at the party after my PhD defense.

Knitting socks is pretty easy, but I find I have become better at it since my first pair in winter of 2010. They fit better and they look more 'even', if that makes any sense. Here's a picture of a basic 8sts per inch sock from this book, that I completely love.

I have to start getting on those xmas projects for Mg's family soon! yay!

I'm especially proud of this pair, since they fit A like a glove!
