A sock!

My very first sock!!

I could list plenty of flaws, but I’m not going to – I’m just going to enjoy the fact that I have knitted a sock – and I have cast on for the second one – my so-called swatch has been left to one side for now (although it has grown since you last saw it – it’s blending into gorgeous, yummy middling grey as it moves towards almost black – the subtlety of the colour changes is magical.)

I can also proudly present the first photo of Ruth “knitting”:

Yesterday I walked into the lounge to discover that she was investigating the back of the sofa – where all my knitting was waiting to be put somewhere sensible. She hadn’t done any damage, but was furious when I removed it from her (she is very good at furious). So I offered her some needles and a small ball of leftover yarn of her own – she was thrilled, and sat poking the needles in the wool for ages – until Adam decided to muscle in and take it off her!

Yay for first socks! I’m on my second sock of my 4th pair ever—nearly finished with the leg in fact. I like the stripeys in yours.
I love that Ruth already seems to have aknack for knitting! That’s so cute.

Your daughter’s lovely! But those needles are almost as big as she is! Great sock, too!

Great work on the sock! Looks awesome. Your daughter is so cute. Never too early to learn. :D

She’s adorable! I had the same experience with my two year old just a couple of days ago. She too is now the proud new owner of (my) 12 mm needles and some leftover yarn!
