Socks

So I made finished socks!
FINALLY!
The one on the left is the new one.
I don't know what the stripe is-but it makes it easier to identify it!
=)


I got this pattern out of Knitting for Dummies.
I really liked it.
By that I mean it was hard.
You were there.
You know.


So I want to make more socks.
This time I want them to be like real-life socks.
That means smaller needles.
SCARY!


It also means smaller yarn.
And I made it green.
I mean I didn't.
Someone else with a cool job and more skills did.
I just bought the green.


Can you tell I was listening to John Green while writing this?
Sorry I don't know things like gauges.
I just know the needles are scary and the yarn is pretty.
I can do this.
Knitting!

Hat of Five



To make the Hat of Five use size 7 16" circulars:

Cast on 90 stitches. Close circle and knit the first row. For the next 6 rows, knit 5, purl 5. For the next 6 rows, purl 5, knit 5. Continue to alternate until hat is big enough for your head. Decrease and bind off.
