Socks!

I have finally done it! My first pair of socks!

I have been dreading this for years I must say: always thinking it would be way too difficult. The idea of using several double pointed needles and most of all....the heel part!

A couple of weeks ago I found a pattern I thought would be good enough to get started and went for it. It went pretty fast and in a few days I was done.

 Making the heels was a bit tricky, mainly understanding how to read the instructions for it. The heel on the left sock is different than the right one: I must have done something wrong while reading the pattern. I will need to practise that shortly.

The hardest part is actually when you are done with the first one and you realise you have to do exactly the same thing again :-)

What do you think? Not bad for a first, huh?
