The Bug Has Bitten

This last week I spent with my DD in Stellenbosch getting her settled into Varsity.
Unable to sew I took the plunge and bought sock yarn and needles.
I have not knitted socks before and found the concept of 4/5 needles a bit scary but
after 2 failed attempts have progressed as far as the heel on sock number 1.
I am really enjoying the process and hope this will be a happy knitting time
Thanks to Judy for all the encouragement!

Progress on sock no 1 up to heel

yarn for sock no 2

I hope my DDs will like the socks
Happy knitting

Well, I cannot believe it has been so long since my last post.
I have had a very busy week and weekend.
First my hinterberg machine and frame arrived from the States and I have been opening and unpacking all the boxes.
Saturday was a Knitting day in Howick.
I joined several ladies and we knitted a square for blankets to be donated to breast cancer patients.
Will post photos as soon as I can.
